Good news, everyone! I’m resurrecting this zombie to note that convicted criminal Joe Arpaio has been told by voters a second time to shut the fuck up. > **[Joe Arpaio loses sheriff’s race in 2nd failed comeback bid](https://apnews.com/7ee55d22b1ad5910bb42b64a78f714bf)** > > PHOENIX (AP) — Joe Arpaio on Friday was narrowly defeated in his bid to win back the sheriff’s post in metro Phoenix that he held for 24 years before being voted out in 2016 amid voter frustrations over his taxpayer-funded legal bills, his penchant... ---

Finally, someone can flush that turd away forever. ---

Thanks, I needed some good news. Now, to bring this thread back to its roots… Hey, **April**! What does your sister think of Torturin’ Joe now? ---

They flushed the sheriff, but they did not flush the deputy… 🎵 There is still one turd remaining, the former deputy of Joe Arpaio won the primary. Guy only avoided charges against him like Arpaio because of a technicality (outside the statute of limitations). Still, it is not likely that the Republican candidate that won the primary will win against Sheriff Penzone in the main election. Sheridan, the former Arpaio deputy has been running as “I’m not Arpaio, but I can be a bit hard”, it worked for the Republican side. But, people in Maricopa County (that includes Phoenix) are tired of electing guys that waste monumental amounts of money in lawsuits that take place when bigoted autocrats get to decide how to enforce Draconian laws. ---

Arpio was not just flushed by voters… he was too repugnant and odious for Republican Primary voters. That’s one stinky turd. The other thing I liked about this thread was seeing the poster with “banned” next to his name getting owned over and over again. Glad we flushed that turd as well. Here’s hoping that “Arpaio-Lite” Deputy Dawg gets his ass handed to him in the General. ---

Glad this sorry excuse for a dumpster fire got shot down again. This clown seriously needs to do the world a favor and disappear completely from public affairs. ---
