Great example of how fascists view the law as something to oppress others, not to restrict themselves. "Law and order (for thee not for me)"

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I fucking hate Blanco. I live in the county he is in. When the pandemic hit in 2020, he openly reported to the public that he would not enforce the health orders the county was issuing. On top of that he had many, many of his deputies die in the prison system due to COVID, plus the jail system in the county has been criticized for issues under his watch. Maybe worst of all, he was a member of Oath Keepers.
I fucking hate this dude. To make the matters worse again, back in March, the Riverside County Supervisors voted against separating the Sheriff’s Department from the Corner’s office. Apparently there have been a number of unexplained(?) deaths in the jail system that the department has not investigated after receiving complaints from families.
He is one of the worst people in elected office in Riverside County. Somehow people keep voting for him.
Interesting how often you mentioned that this person often actively does not investigate things. This due to their own reasoning being more important than the law.
Then apparently the county is also the highest in meth. I'm guessing that again they're ignoring things (e.g. reports) because of their own reasons. Which then results in way more meth than it could be.
If true, suggest to wonder why meth reports would be ignored...
This man gets to choose whether or not your Life gets Ruined if you look at him Funny!
Party before everything.
It may honestly be a good idea to have a republican sticker on your vehicle for when you get pulled over.
Yeah, if you wanna go to jail
Are there any sheriffs that aren't giant cunts?
I think there's a saying that answers that question
ACAB
but I didn't shoot the deputy.
People who aren't giant cunts generally don't want to be sheriffs.
Very very few. They exist out here somewhere but psycho is the basic qualification.
Then resign, mother fucker. Put up or shut up!
Ah, the NY Post, the cheap daily tabloid that Rupert Murdoch's News Corps has owned since 1993.
The right wing sites are the only ones talking about it. It'll be picked up by left wing sources eventually.
Here's the actual source of his video if you prefer that instead: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7p3oekNnwS/
I don't have anything against conservative sources when they're decent, it's the trashy part that irritates me. Cheapens everything, there should be some standards of quality instead of just feeding the public's love of basic bitch drama.
Thank you for the extra link, at any rate.
Actually, Murdoch purchased the Post back in 1976. There may have been some corporate reshuffling, but the Post went from being a classier version of the Daily News to a scandal sheet just in time for the Son of Sam killings.
This is just a fox news article republished.
Fuckin fascists, man
Obligatory crooked timber post:

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
It's pretty nakedly just a cult of personality with no other policy platforms that I recognize. For 50 years quality of life for Americans had meaningfully stagnated or declined. It's brutal paying so much for groceries and gasoline when rent has been commodified. Answering that with mythical "I alone can fix it" is a very attractive and easily understood pitch. A lecture about the nuances of globalization and market efficiency is not. As important as bathroom access and preferred pronouns are, they too are not a sufficient political answer for a minimum wage that hasn't matched productivity for decades.
It's a leadership issue but any sane person would never subject themselves or their families to running for office in a news environment like America's. That leaves us with a government composed primarily by clinical narcissists and grifters.
Feels bad.
“Changing teams” 🤣
What a dweeb
