Joe Arpaio's trial starts today

I guess 26 June is just “Scumbags On Trial Day” or something. Is it like this every year and I just never noticed?[

Why don’t they ever call me for jury duty for these cases?

Oh well, I’d never survive voir dire anyway.

Prolly the most significant thing in today’s proceedings came from Mr. Arpaio’s former attorney:

Cite.

“Arpaio’s lawyer vigorously disputed that a person with nearly 60 years in law enforcement would violate a court order on purpose.”

Lol. Of course he would and he did.

Fuck that guy.

But only six months! It needs to be 100 times as long.

Fortunately, his successor has dropped all the silly stuff like pink underwear. Tent City was finally shut down and obsoleted (plenty of room in the existing brick and mortar facilities).

One huge expense going forward for the county is to remove all the Joe Arpaio signage all over the place. Extreme narcissism, you know.

He won’t be getting shit. And even if he does, the great Orange on will pardon the twit.

My favorite holiday! I got to dig out my horsehair wig!

Me either.

Defense Attorney: Your honor, I would like to dismiss venireman #6. He has been looking stink-eye at the defendant since he walked into the courtroom.

Judge: Stink-eye? That’s more murderous intent. Granted.

This is called grasping at straws. And it flies in the face of all reason, what with the guy bragging for a generation that he’s the bestest sheriff evar.

Put him in pink panties, give him the same bread and water (or whatever it was) he gave to others, and stick him in a tent in the summer Arizona sun. If he squawks, beat the shit out of him, as he and his goons have been accused of doing to others.

If he can do hard labor, even better. His age is no fucking excuse. NO leniency for ANY reason.

He deserves to get everything he did to other people (many of whom had been charged but not yet convicted of anything, or were just “too Mexican”).

I’m a firm believer in judging people according to their own standards, so I very strongly agree with this sentiment. Not necessarily the beating part, because I don’t support that, but the uniform, the food, the tents, the sunshine, oh hell yes.

He clearly deserves the death penalty.

The planet will certainly be a better place when he’s no longer breathing, but since I’m anti death penalty, life without parole works for this POS.

How do they know in advance the trial will last eight days? :confused:

Green bologna. Out of date lunch meat IOW

I do think that just because of his senility (and that IMHO is yet another reason why I do not respect many of the ones that were voting for that yahoo) Arpaio will not go to jail.

Still, I do think it will be good to get on the record that what he did was at least grossly unjust at best or criminal at worst.

To this day I wonder why the so called liberal media did not force Trump and minions to separate from “Mr. Racial profiler” and abuser of power here. Just as they did with Obama and the very controversial people that Obama just met socially and in passing (with no evidence that Obama supported the controversial views they had).

Obama even had to leave his church and condemn one of the preachers there because one preacher had funny ideas about the causes of the World Trade Center attack.

By the time Trump willfully joined Arpaio to the hip in the campaign trail, Arpaio already had his minions arrest and harass local editors of the New Times weekly that were his critics with false accusations. Used racial profiling for his arrests, mismanaged prisons to the point to risk the lives of prisoners with bad food and horrid conditions in his jails (there were also people that did die unnecessarily thanks to those bad conditions). Defied the courts and even attempted to disrupt justice by investigating the wife of the judge in his case.

The media really had one job, to constantly bug Trump and minions about why Trump was in bed with abusers of power like Joe Arpaio. The refusal of not officially coming against Arpaio or to not condemn his abuses should had been a very important issue in the election. To press the point about the kind of people Trump was getting closer. It would had been a huuge big Trump size sign about what Trump was very likely to do, and at a larger scale, with America.

I must have missed the announcement that Arpaio was diagnosed as senile. Do you have a cite?

I disagree. It doesn’t matter whether he did racial profiling or violated a court order, because illegal aliens are illegals and they shouldn’t be here. Illegal aliens are un-American and they’re destroying America just by being here illegally. Arpaio should be given a medal and a knighthood and a giant check for a billion dollars and a kiss on both cheeks from Ivanka and Melania Trump, not a trial which is just sore loser libtard snowflake FAKE NEWS anyway.

I was going for the dictionary definition:

And the Phoenix New Times weekly gave that option to Arpaio because of how he testified years ago, (BTW right now Arpaio is 85)
