baronfulmen: revolutionarykoolaid: Another Day in White Supremacy (8/26/17): The absolute piece of shit known as Joe Arpaio should be rotting in a jail cell, but the even more disgusting, festering pestilence known as Donald Trump pardoned him today. Using the cover of an oncoming hurricane, and the slow news day of a Friday, Trump also signed a ban on the military paying for reassignment surgery (more on that later). Absolutely disgusted! (x) You don’t know how horrifically depressing this really is unless you’ve lived in Phoenix. I’m shaking with rage. Whatever you might be picturing, Arpaio has done worse. He filled the Sheriff’s department with literal white supremacists. He treats people like garbage. He spent outrageous amounts of money that could have been used on actually making the area better on all the legal costs of repeatedly breaking the law. And he wasn’t even any good at his actual job. There is literally no metric by which he was not a complete disaster, and yet his PR was so good that most (white) people just knew him as being “tough on crime” which he actually fucking wasn’t. It took us SO long to finally expose his garbage enough that people listened, we were finally going to see him suffer some tiny fraction of the consequences he deserved, and even that meager scrap it’s now being denied to us so that Trump can reassure his racist base that he didn’t really mean it when he condemned white supremacists. -- source link
