> [@HeweyLogan](#): > > Which was attributed **“to understaffing and mismanagement”** as you so kindly pointed out above. Not that because of the money spent to settle those lawsuits investigations into rape etc. can’t take place. Thank you for showing all others how clueless you are. You need to look at the basic reasons why that under staffing took place, and that was one of the points. The cluelessness that you show is also because the money wasted on defending Arpaio is only one reason why he is reprehensible, the other one is that reprehensible priorities were made by the Sheriff with the money and resources his office had. One more item is dumb here: you are indeed making the case that one bad thing that Arpaio did can be dismissed by yet another thing Arpaio did wrong in his misguided quest to go over the federal government and resort to racial profiling. Incidentally even on the original point I made I was taking into account that the local government was already paying in court for the mismanagement and stupid stunts of Arpaio years before the mishandled rape cases and the costs his mismanagement then caused. [http://archive.azcentral.com/news/articles/1102arpaio-chronology.html](http://archive.azcentral.com/news/articles/1102arpaio-chronology.html) As pointed many times before, Trump already knew a lot of what Arpaio does and what he represents. Trump loves what he sees and that is why he joined Arpaio to the hip and vice-vesa. ---

This is a sword that cuts both ways, the same sword in every election I can remember. Very little of what a Presidential candidate promises can be done without Congress’ permission. What few Federal policies that have any effect on me can go either way as far as I’m concerned. Neither candidate is promising to have the Federal government take over maintenance of rural mailboxes, so it looks like business as usual for me in regards to who the President is. There’s a line at the end of the movie _The Candidate_, after they win the election they just look at each other “Now what do we do?” … just clueless … ---

It was, as you quoted, because of “understaffing and mismanagement” that the verdict that was reached cost the state 3.5 million. Not that the 3.5 verdict caused the “understaffing and mismanagement”. You’re putting the cart before the horse. And doing poorly at it. ---

> [@watchwolf49](#): > > Just checked … Sheriff of Maricopa County is an elective office … maybe you should take five pesos and buy clue yourself, eh? Now can you tell me where did I deny that? Or you just replied like a fool? In past discussions and even here I do make references that there are a lot of reprehensibles living in Maricopa county. As I posted before, they are looking at how much money they like to waste by voting for him, they are the main entry for the phrase dictionaries about “Cutting off their noses to spite their faces”. More than once the point was made that the Sheriff should be the one paying for his court costs, or that then the office should not be an elected one. But since the legislature is also conservative they do not mind. No wonder there have been cartoons having Obi-Wan from Star Wars looking at the legislature building from a desert hill and saying his line about “scum and villainy” ---

Again: you **are** making the point that I was wrong about the order of the factors, when both items make Arpaio look reprehensible. [Hey, suit yourself, I’m easy.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XRXlFJzrRw) Again the overall point is that Trump does not mind pallin around with guys like him, and that shows what Trump has in store for all Americans. ---

That was a very long, but a very informative read. On the one hand, a President Trump might actually clear out some of the calcified deadwood (especially with regard to civil servants), but on the other 20 hands, he has no idea what he’s doing and no idea of the consequences of the things he wants to do. Surely the US can stir things up and shake some things loose without burning down your entire house? ---

Give him break, IIRC he has had several boots to the head as he has been involved in martial arts, so I can not shake the view I have of him of being like [Ed Grubberman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajEOZ4tBqjQ). 🙂 “People talking in movie shows, People smoking in bed! _People voting Republican_, Give them a boot to the head!” :p;) ---
