She’s a democrat, btw, in case any of you saw Arizona and thought this seemed rather progressive for a traditionally red state.

We blue right now. It's awesome and I am soaking up the few wins while I can.

That blue shade is suspiciously purple, but I’m happy Arizona seems to be lightening up a bit.

Thanks, that was my first thought.

Same. Like what is the catch?

Discovery is going to be a hoot. I wonder who is going to make it worse on themselves by trying to cover their tracks.

I always have Joe Arpaio on my Bad things in Arizona bingo card.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Arpaio has been accused of numerous types of police misconduct, including abuse of power, misuse of funds, failure to investigate sex crimes, criminal negligence, abuse of suspects in custody, improper clearance of cases, unlawful enforcement of immigration laws, and election law violations. A Federal court monitor was appointed to oversee his office's operations because of complaints of racial profiling. The U.S. Department of Justice concluded that Arpaio oversaw the worst pattern of racial profiling in U.S. history, and subsequently filed suit against him for unlawful discriminatory police conduct.[10] Arpaio and the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) were named as defendants in dozens of civil lawsuits brought by citizens arrested by Arpaio and his deputies alleging wrongful arrest, wrongful death, entrapment and other claims, costing taxpayers in Maricopa County over $140 million in litigation against Arpaio during his tenure as sheriff.

Makes sense. He is almost single-handedly the bad thing.

I have some cute pink underwear. I dunno what he was thinking. Pink is much friendlier than orange.

He's running for mayor of Fountain Hills, I think.

Fuck me why isn't Yardi ever included in these? They do exactly the same thing and using it feels like getting a lava enema.
