If being a protestor at a Trump rally wasnāt difficult enough, well now youāve got Arpaio in charge of security. I seriously hope no one gets hurt.

Thereās the problem in a nutshell. Sheriff Joe finds incitement to violence āexcitingā. At least if it comes from right wing extremists.

If Trump is elected, Arpaio will head up Trumpās secret police (Bushās creation know as dept of hinterland security).

you mean Director of the FBIā¦
Well, Arpaio has a point. In Germany they once burned books for excitement at rallies. And at times the crowds got so riled that they took their āpassionā to the streets. Arenāt broken windows and burned-out businesses merely a display of love for country?
What could possibly go wrong?

āIāve had demonstrations against me constantly,ā he said. āHe hasnāt had that many demonstrators compared to me.ā
Ixnay, Joe, ixnay! The First Rule of Getting Along with Donald Trump is that nobody, ever, in the history of the world or the future to the end of time has ever done or experienced anything that is in any way superior to what Donald Trump has done.

Maricopa County residents must be rolling in the dough. Arpaioās court costs must be really adding up.

If you could go back to George Wallaceās 1962 gubernatorial campaign in Alabama, Iām sure youād find many local sheriffs who openly supported and campaigned for Wallace. They were no doubt very pleased to hear these words spoken by Wallace at his inauguration:
āIn the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.ā
Speaking of Wallace, this anecdote is from his effort opposing LBJ in the 1964 primaries:
"Wallace was known for stirring crowds with his oratory. The Huntsville Times interviewed Bill Jones, Wallaceās first press secretary, who recounted a particularly fiery speech in Cincinnati in 1964 that scared even Wallace.
"Wallace angrily shouted to a crowd of 1000 that ālittle pinkosā were ārunning around outsideā protesting his visit, and continued, after thunderous applause,saying, āWhen you and I start marching and demonstrating and carrying signs, we will close every highway in the country.ā The audience leaped to its feet āand headed for the exit.ā Jones said, āIt shook Wallace. He quickly moved to calm them down.ā
"During his campaign as an independent in 1968, Wallace pledged that āIf some anarchist lies down in front of my automobile, it will be the last automobile he will ever lie down in front of.ā He asserted that the only four letter words which hippies did not know were w-o-r-k and s-o-a-p.
Major media outlets observed the support Wallace received from extremist groups such as White Citizensā Councils. It had been noted that members of such groups had permeated the Wallace campaign by 1968 and, while Wallace did not openly seek their support, neither did he refuse it. Indeed, at least one case has been documented of the pro-Nazi and white supremacist Liberty Lobby distributing a pro-Wallace pamphlet entitled āStand up for Americaā despite the campaignās denial of such a connection."
Sound familiar?

Anyone who heard Trumpās call to punch protesters, to rough them up to the point where they need to be carried out on a stretcher, actually does just that but comes to realize Trump was only kidding about paying for their trial lawyer and court costs ā those people need to sue Trump. Donāt let him get away with this shit. Hold his feet to the fire so his feet turn as orange as his face.
