WASHINGTON, Aug 25 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday granted a pardon to former Arizona lawman and political ally Joe Arpaio, the self-proclaimed "toughest sheriff in America," less than a month after he was convicted of criminal contempt in a case involving his department's racial profiling policy.

Did Sheriff Joe ever ‘self proclaim’ himself the ‘ toughest sheriff in America’ or is that ‘self proclaim’ a little falsified dig by the lying enemedia? Actually Scrooge them and the pardon of Sheriff Joe is justice served. Flux the corrupt leftist judicial system that persecuted the good man. Piss and pox be upon them as karma.

I assume the original charge was made to serve as a warning to others who might want to enforce the law.

However we all know that the real "crime" he was "convicted" of, in the first place, was being a Donald Trump supporter.

After years of illegal invasion encouraged by the obama regime, mostly in the hopes of building up the illegal vote in the coming elections, we were being overrun with drugs, gangs and the general plague of an a people who are there to reclaim an imaginary heritage, not to acclimate to our country.

Legendary hero Sheriff Joe Arpaio was seemingly the only man who was man enough, strong enough and loved his community enough to stand against the onslaught, the corrupt DOJ and the entire obama regime that would not uphold Federal law.

In the end, a corrupt local judge ordered Sheriff Joe to not uphold the law as written and he refused her illegal dictate. That's when they slapped him with the illicit charge.

Now Sheriff Joe is free to enjoy his legacy as a hero to the people and carry on with whatever a man of his strength, character and abilities sees fit to engage in, although I hope it will include a little time off to enjoy some fishing or maybe some horseback riding.

Cheers to our beloved Arizona Sheriff...AMERICA'S Sheriff Joe Arpaio!!!

A Hispanic person is a type of Ethnicity and not a Race Classification. I am so tired of the Libs using the word ‘racist’ and Hispanic together.

The same thing can be said about Islam, which is a religion, not a race. Most Muslims are Caucasians.

The left starts screeching about "racism" any time it can't formulate an actual reason to have a particular opinion on something. It's easier to scream "racist" than to have to defend one's views.

Arpaio told Hannity he is going after that nudge in civil court.

“Contempt”. In other words, the DoJ either didn’t get him to confess or they didn’t like his “general attitude” during questioning.

Incidentally, a lot of contempt charges get handed out to Democrats but the fact that they were cited or convicted is rarely mentioned. You can bet the word “pardoned” is going to follow Arpaio around like it was his official first name.

Very fitting. Trump is the most pro-American president since Reagan, and Sheriff Joe stood up for America and Americans.

I love when the Libs call an African-American racist because he doesn't believe the democratic platform. Just like 1984:

The Party barrages its subjects with psychological stimuli designed to overwhelm the mind’s capacity for independent thought.

The Party also controls the bodies of its subjects.

The Party controls every source of information, managing and rewriting the content of all newspapers and histories for its own ends.

By means of telescreens and hidden microphones across the city, the Party is able to monitor its members almost all of the time.

LANGUAGE AS MIND CONTROL

DOUBLETHINK
