Gets his pardon. All he ever did was his job, good news indeed.
Just look at the flowers Lizzie, just look at the flowers.

The Arpaio case is the personification of what happens when the quasi-communist Democrats are in power. They appoint judges that don't follow the law or the Constitution in applying the law.
He didn't check out yet? Hmmmm.
As to McCain, I'm beginning to look at him like he may be a Manchurian Candidate. Not Republican, not Democrat, not RINO, but more like a closet communist.

Common criminals get off everyday claiming harassment that doesn't come near what Arpaio had to contend with. The goal was to disgrace and intimidate him, which it never accomplished, except in the minds of the most rabid liberals. The sheer volume of negative press managed to tarnish him a little in the minds of some folks who didn't really follow the case very carefully, but they never broke the good sheriff. He continued to enforce the law and made no apologies for doing it.
Can't say I always agreed with the way Arpaio conducted his everyday business, and the County's legal defense bills were astronomical. But he did what he was elected to do. Over several years. He was targeted for doing what the Obama administration would not.
Arpaio on his tent-jails said US service members were living in the same conditions in Afghanistan and Iraq. He had a point.
As for McCain's stay at the Hanoi Hilton, I'm not convinced it was as it has been reported. I have no doubt he was shot down or crashed his plane and taken prisoner of war. I'm not convinced, though, that he suffered the horrible conditions he claims he did. I'm not the only one, either.
I could be wrong and letting my disdain for the man cloud my judgement, but the only one who really knows what happened is McCain, and he's sticking to his story.
Gun control laws make about as much sense as taking ex-lax to cure a cough.
No one imprisoned in Hanoi had it easy.
He is what he is, no less or no more.
Manning spent 7 pears in prison before Obama pardoned it.
Is it a good idea to hold Trump to Obama as a standard? If everything that Obama did was wrong, what is the point of holding his wrongs up as the standard?
Arpaio did do what he was elected to do, but I personally think he got a bit carried away and was clearly an attention whore. A lot of the stuff he did, I felt was only for the attention it generated.
Birther? I have talked about that until I was blue in the face. My conclusion is that anyone in a potential leadership position that promoted that obvious nonsense has lost their credibility with me.
Arpaio was accused of racially profiling Hispanics. To me, this means that people that look like Wambli and Sixgun were pulled over and possibly arrested just because of the way they looked. That is something I would not agree with.
I do not know the specifics of the case and the prosecution along with the defense, nor do I care to. Trump is constitutionally authorized to pardon people at his discretion. It is what it is. I am not opposed to him using his discretion.
Were I sheriff, I would have obeyed the judge and fought it out in court.
Because USA Today is a liberal paper like most all in the country. Their editorial content is similar to the New York Times. To me, therefore....crap, They're no different than the Orlando Slantinel when it comes to conservatives...therefore...crap. Call me biased, so what.
There used to be two major daily papers in Milwaukee, the Journal and the Sentinel. They merged and are called the Journal/Sentinel. I call the paper the UrinalScent!
I don't see much honest commentary coming from very many liberals mouths or typewriters. That doesn't mean I believe all Republicans either, but I trust them slightly more than libs. With regard to your story from the "New Times," the article itself seems credible, but near the bottom of it turns out the decision was arrived at by the 9th Circuit Court, which as we all know is stacked with libs, therefore suspect in my opinion. This story is a surprise to me, but it's clear that when it comes to politics, EVERYONE is flawed. And it's also clear that he's been re-elected numerous times, so obviously the citizens of Maricopa County previously liked the job he's doing. I will admit, that if the negative stuff he was doing is all true, I guess he suffered the corruption of power. He still was up until recently an effective sheriff.
Hundreds of millions? Seems to me that would nearly bankrupt the average county.
Perfect....LOL
Not to justify Arpaio's actions, but liberal politicians do it every day of the week. Ovomit did it for 8 years on a national level. Democrats are doing it to Trump now by using holdovers from the previous administration to harass and obstruct, so stop being so holier than thou.
Edited to add:
OK, I've read the entire article from the USAToday. I only read the first couple of paragraphs at first and it seemed like more liberal tripe. After reading it through, there seems to be more evidence of a history of corruption than I first thought, so I'll withdraw my previous remarks about you being one of those knee-jerk libs. Apparently I'm guilty of the same thing, so on THIS one issue I apologize for jumping to my usual conclusions.
Yeah, I agree. He had me as a believer. I just hope Trump doesn't try putting him on any advisory panels or the like.....LOL

Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.
After he helped kill removing-replacing Obummer Care, I don't think you have to worry about Trump doing him anymore favors.
Oh never mind, I thought you were talking about McCain here. In my opinion Sheriff Joe was doing his job and got on the wrong side of a liberal judge.

Yeah, what happened in the Hanoi Hilton is a matter of record because of all the others there. If that would have been John Kerry, he would have been at the camp commandants office every day spilling his guts to get off easy. But McCain would have been shot by his father if he'd done that.
As for McCain here lately, I think the cancer is eating his brain and causing him to go against his base.
