Sheriff Joe just won't go away

A question I posed two years ago has been answered:

The answer in “NO”. The little troll is running for mayor yet again. So for all the angst all of you are experiencing with the presidential election, at least you don’t have to see the dozens of “Joe Arpiao for Mayor” signs lining the roads into and out of town. Be thankful for the little things.

I’m sorry to hear that.

Most of us have some local yahoo who serves the same purpose. I for one find DeSantis For Governor signs mildly triggering. :wink:

Idjits; we’re having a nationwide plague of Reactionary Wacko Idjits.

Shame we can’t have a miraculous flock of Pterodactyls to save us, much as the Mormon pioneers in Utah were supposedly saved from a plague of crop-eating crickets by a miraculous flock of seagulls who happily devoured all the crickets just in time.

Our local delight who is flooding the local TV stations with ads is a woman who promises to deal with all those pesky immigrants who are grabbing up welfare money. Truly pathetic. I mute her and look away from the TV when the ads come on, always during the local news.

I sincerely thought he was dead.

Fortunately we are a tiny part of the Phoenix metro area, so no TV ads for the mayoral race. The mayoral election is done alongside the July 30 primary, so at least the signs will be down in a few weeks. The only reason this race is on anyone’s radar is the unusual fact that one candidate has national name recognition.

I am seeing far too many ads for a woman (who will remain unnamed) who is running for Washington State Representative. her entire campaign seems to be protecting her state from border crossing migrants-Secure The Border!!!. There are two states between Washington and Mexico, and she is running for state Representative. What the fuck is she planning to do to “secure the border”?

Maybe she’s worried about the hordes of Canadians coming from BC?

Stop the buses Abbott sends at the Columbia River

If it weren’t for the fact she a far-right nutter that supports Abbott(??), she probably would try something illegal like that.

UPDATE: Maybe the troll will get the message this time

Imgur

Fuck, no.

Trolls like that live to ignore the message. Pointedly, to enrage their victims by doing so.

Only the sweet release* of death** will free that constituency from its gadfly.

*“Sweet release” of the electorate and citizens.

**By “death” I clearly mean a natural death, because I wouldn’t wish harm on anyone. But death is inevitable. I hope.

We also still have this nincompoop trying to run for governor. He’s also openly and proudly MAGA.

For those unfamiliar, his name is Semi Bird, which sounds like something you do when you flip someone off in a noncommittal way.

He also received the official endorsement of the state Republican Party, even though he’s currently polling at 10%.

Is the race for governor down to two? Semi Bird thinks the polling is 'garbage' | The Daily Chronicle?

The only reason he got that was because Republican candidate Dave Reichert (polling much farther ahead than Bird) pulled himself out of consideration for the endorsement.

It heartens me to see that the local Republican Party here is so screwed up and can’t figure anything out.

The dude is 92. I bet every single person that voted for him thinks that Biden is too old.

I assume he got all of the “Fuck Biden” flag votes. Here’s a story that alomost makes me feel sorry for him, if he weren’t such a contemptible human being:

He certainly thinks he did nothing wrong as sheriff and I’m pretty sure he still thinks Obama was born in Kenya.

The line between fantasy and reality is always hard for raging RW losers to recognize. Their monster desire to believe defeats their small ability to know or understand.
