Joe Arpaio is responsible for more deaths than antifa is for injuries. Possibly more than antifa is for broken windows. #whataboutism

This thread is a much more devastating indictment of Arpaio.

No whataboutism, just facts. I know facts don't matter to a lot of people but what Arpaio did during his time was abominable. His gross abuse of his office was legendary in Arizona, and there were as many people who hated him as liked him, especially in the LEO community.

Imagine if Obama had asked for the DoJ to stop the investigation into Clinton's emails while it was still going on. They wouldn't have been able to draw up the articles of impeachment fast enough.

Trump asks for the DoJ to stop an investigation into a political ally, Republicans will mumble generic phrases of concern that the president should focus on his agenda.

yeah it's pretty sad. Both sides agree on a lot of issues but since it's because the other guy said it it's wrong.

Lol, Trump is all over the place this morning. Alternating his usual bulls**t with a few Tweets about Texas to try and look presidential.

He also makes sure to endorse a book by racist dirtbag sheriff David Clarke, calling it "a great book by a great guy".

Going to a Cabinet Meeting (tele-conference) at 11:00 A.M. on #Harvey. Even experts have said they've never seen one like this!

Why is he campaigning to make this the worst storm ever? It's so weird.

i know what you mean, he's over the top on everything.

but some computer models are speculating it could drift back out into the Gulf of Mexico, reform and hit AGAIN later in the week. So we'll see.

So he can say it's worse than Katrina but because of him there were minimal deaths, etc.

this could get really bad if the models are correct. they are predicting double the amount of water in the next few days?

600-700 mm of water in parts of houston so far... so possibly 1200-1400 mm by wednesday/friday?

that's insane.

As katrina showed us, people will start out well behaved, but as their supplies run low, there is a chance things really go south...

this will be a major challenge for the Trump administration... he'd better hope that he didn't dismantle the "deep state" that he keeps railing about, as that's the only thing standing between him and a major catastrophe.

He recently reversed a flood protection infrastructure order, so there's that

Donald J. Trump‏@realDonaldTrump
Wow - Now experts are calling #Harvey a once in 500 year flood! We have an all out effort going, and going well!

It reads like he's almost excited. Very strange.

So Trump has two retweets this morning: Are they...

A) Retweeting important information relating to Houston

B) Retweeting tweets supporting his pardon of Arpaio and his "both sides" belief

...I mean you all know the answer right?
