POLITICS & DONALD Annoying Orange MEGATHREAD

[Tactical Nuke]

because he was convicted. Annoying Orange pardoned him but that doesn't make him any less of a lawbreaker

"convicted" does not mean "found guilty"

dude, as a person who has lived in arizona their entire life and kept up with arpaio's tribal saga, this literally can't be any less wrong

he was convicted under contempt of court for deliberately ignoring a federal court order and illegally detaining people. his conviction had nothing to do with a 'race category on a form' or whatever you believe happened

conservatives are supposed to be the ones who hold big government accountable for people's rights and liberties, but here you are defending a flagrant violation of both

here's a fellow lifelong Arizonan to prove why you're full of stuff

Damm... rlly got him w/ dat one

here's my take on the us mexico border: a wall isn't necessary because it would be difficult to keep the entire thing maintained, or expensive to keep it staffed with guard towers. in my opinion, I think that a strict US-Mexico border is important, but I feel like guard towers and patrol vehicles along most of (or all of) the border would provide nearly the same effect without the added cost of constructing a fence/wall.

stuff like this is why deus just flames people nowadays instead of debating them

okay well i'm also another lifelong arizonian and i've known about arpaio's racism long before his conviction.

yeah, his inner white supremacist really shone through when he didn't initially support the "tribal" law that people are going crazy over

did you even watch the video

Yes it does? The forget are you on about?

okay so it does, that was a brain-lapse on my part

but all he was convicted on was a misdemeanor, which is like saying Obama smoking weed in college immediately means he would never win the presidency

"convicted" does not mean "found guilty"

the forget? it literally does

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conviction

In law, a conviction is the verdict that usually results when a court of law finds a defendant guilty of a crime.

dude, there is no way that I can be 'full of stuff' when I'm reading exactly how and why Arpaio was convicted of contempt of court. whatever reason you think it has to do with a 'race category' on a hiring form, it's bullstuff. that's literally not what he was accused of, and definitely not what he was convicted of.

like you're just lying at this point because what you're saying is demonstrably, provably false. this isn't even a matter of opinion.

[Acerblock]

because he was on trial
he's not on trial anymore

"convicted" as in they tried him on racial profiling and all they found was that he had put a race category in one of the forms to sign up for police or something, yet decided to hold him in contempt of court because during all this he was upholding a "controversial" law that the vast majority of Arizonans approved of at the time

it's like the precursor to the Russia collusion hysteria except even more ridiculous

Why the forget are you defending this abusive monster??

nothing is wrong with any of these

nothing is wrong with any of these

>be a conservative
>entire political philosophy revolves around restricting the capacity of the government to do bad things by curbing their power
>support a government agent who illegally detains people in a 120 degree hell-hole that makes North Korean prisons look good

Both cases were among more than 400 love-crimes reported to Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office during a three-year period ending in 2007 -- including dozens of alleged child molestations -- that were inadequately investigated and in some instances were not worked at all, according to current and former police officers familiar with the cases.

In El Mirage alone, where Arpaio's office was providing contract police services, officials discovered at least 32 reported child molestations -- with victims as young as 2 years old -- where the sheriff's office failed to follow through, even though suspects were known in all but six cases.

I question your moral compass.

[SeventhSandwich]

the fairest assumption I can make here is that neither of them actually know anything about Arpaio, and they're just defending him because they want to be edgelords- not because they have extremely severe deficits of moral character

[Acerblock]

I hope you are right, or else I'm just downright confused at how far people can be on the defense when they are objectively in the wrong.

if Arpaio was convicted of what all the lefty articles you're reading say he was convicted of, then why did he never see a day of prison? racial profiling/illegal arrests or whatever constitutes jail time, and last I checked Annoying Orange didn't pardon him until 2017, even though the conviction was given out in 2016, and last I checked it didn't take a full year to hand out a prison sentence

was the judge incompetent? are you suggesting that the Obama justice department was bad at it's job and a stuff judge presided over the hearing (this is disregarding that the judge's wife had openly displayed hatred of Arpaio :thinking:)? if it was clear from the start that he was guilty of what you say he is, then why was he denied trial by jury? if the evidence was there, surely there would've been that conviction

all of this proves you didn't watch the video
will one of you loving commies just PLEASE watch the video for once?
