    I just like freedom. Everyone should be subject to the same rules. Once we are we can all do whatever we want within them.

    If Dviss and I lived in the same town he could vote for me. All I'd have to tell him is for every person you vote for, for me vote for the other guy. And then vote NO on every other question unless there is a measure to repeal some other measure.

    As for Alex Jones, I've seen some of his videos and his acting is about as good as a Lifetime original movie...not good.

    The police have been getting armored trucks and shit for years. Didn't like it when Obama was President but nunya ever said shit then.

    He DID NOT praise any white supremacists.

    He can deport all white illegals, wonder how many there are? Send em packing


    Arpaio... whatever. I still agree with MarAzul about the jury thing. I don't know if I would have actually pardoned him.

    Don't like the Transgender ban except for not paying for surgery. Let them in, let them stay. Fine with me. Especially if the military guys really want them allowed.

    Oh, 2 years ago. I've been pissed about it for years. Probably avoided that thread because I thought it would piss me off.

    Funny how it took Obama a controversy to see how stupid it is to have a militaristic police force.

    Oh! I am for you having rights. I am glad I don't have to feed you.
    And go ahead, hate all you want. It is bad for your health, but well within your rights.

    That seems like an odd comment. You do understand that Trump cancelled the Obama orders to demilitarize the police.

    You support demilitarization, and yet you are criticizing Obama rather than Trump? I don't know, that seems sort of nakedly partisan. Not that that's against the rules or anything.

    My point, and it is undeniable....is that Trump didn't start this.

    Exactly. Obama is a leader. Trump is a follower.

    I finally got around to looking this up. As I expected, there is no right to a jury trial in this case.

    From the court documents, the prosecution said:

    And Arpaio agreed:

    so your objection is, as they say in court, overruled.

    I'm pretty sure Trump's trans ban and some other distasteful (to say the least) orders were designed to convince a senator or some senators to vote the way Trump wants on Bills before congress.

    crandc's (dubious source) link does not at all say Arpaio set a puppy on fire. If I have any one gripe about her, it's that she either doesn't read her own links or completely mischaracterizes what's in them.

    Regarding "refusing to prosecute rape," there are two things to consider:
    1) If the authorities determined there was no rape to pursue, where's the beef?
    2) Undocumented aliens are routinely denied public services (welfare, social security, etc.) - if you believe this is how it should be, you might see that Arpaio might be doing just that (denying public services)

    Hahahahahahaha!

    I post that Denny just loves to argue with Minstrel and Barfo so to change things up he goes after Crandc.

    "Dammit dog, I have to argue with someone!"
