Here’s the story:
Glad to see “America’s Sheriff” is using taxpayer money wisely by beating a dead horse.
Apparently, as the Republican brain ages and atrophys, at some point you wake up in the morning and think “Damn, I sure would like some posse!”
I live in Surprise, AZ., home to the Tea Party group that started this thing with Arapaio. Words can’t express how disgusted I am with this place. And people ask me all the time why I’d want to move away from the great weather in AZ - well, THIS IS WHY!
If the market wasn’t so crappy right now and I wasn’t upside down on my mortgage, I’d leave for less batshit crazy climates in a heartbeat…
Well, sure, but its a dry crazy!
Aren’t there any rules as to how he gets to spend the taxpayer’s dollars?
Rules shmules - Arapaio doesn’t follow rules. He does what he wants. And when someone calls him out on it, he has them “investigated” and brings up false charges to shut them up and drain their bank accounts. It’s been working for him for years…
Hate to see what a wet crazy feels like…
His posse is a charitable organization, and is not funded by taxpayers. Not to say he isn’t a liar, but officially he isn’t using taxpayer money. Still stupid though.
If he is participating in this at all while on the clock, it is the business of the taxpayers.
The story linked in the OP says:
Wouldn’t “budgetary limitations within the office” indicate that the office’s budget is or was used to fund it in general? If it is a charitable organization they would be registered as such for tax reasons so that should be easy to determine.
It’s not the hate, it’s the stupidity.
An “elite team of five.” So I’m guessing… an explosives expert, a linguist who speaks fluent African, a guy in a ninja suit swinging nunchaku, a pilot (best goddamn flyboy there ever was, who’s gonna retire and settle down after this one last job), and a pyrokinetic who can ignite crosses with his mind.
From the linked story:
Between that and the dry-crazy jokes in this thread, this has been the most laffs I’ve had all week.
I just don’t get how the jurisdiction works for him. A county sheriff investigating (wait for it, oh that’s right, you already know) the President of the United States.
Sheesh.
Fox ‘News’ Force Five!
Which one will tell the jokes at the end of every episode?
Brilliant.
I don’t…it sounds like…
Fun!
But, dry crazy is very chaffing.
I think someone with a handle “BigShooter” would know what wet crazy is all about!
I assumed that one of them might be an engineer whose expertise is in digging tunnels.
Obama: Rahm, next time I say, “Let’s go some place like Bolivia,” let’s go some place like Bolivia!
Ain’t it just.
You just know that if someone had a time machine and went BACK IN TIME TO WITNESS OBAMA BEING BORN IN HAWAI’I, the birthers and Tea Partiers would immediately start saying that the real Barack Obama died soon after birth and his mom then secretly adopted a Kenyan-born baby who she then passed off as her natural-born son.
