Donald Trump to Appoint Joe Arpaio as Head of Federal Prisons

[MineralMan]

Trump said about the appointment, "I know Joe. He knows how to treat prisoners. We're done with pampering our federal incarcerees bigly. From now on, they'll get cold baloney sandwiches and wear pink jumpsuits. No more coddling of Muslims, Jews in our prisons, either. If they didn't want to eat pork products, they should have avoided committing federal crimes. Joe'll do a tremendous job on us, believe me."

1. Can you provide a link?

This really sucks if true.

[MineralMan]

3. Uh, it's satire. See the :sarcasm: smiley.

2. You may need to add more sarcasm smilies

[MineralMan]

4. If one doesn't do it, a dozen won't either.

Sheesh!

5. Is this from the Onion?

Please say yes.

[MineralMan]

7. No, it's from my own ten fingers.

See the smilie?

Satire only works when some people don't recognize it as satire. Especially when that satire is clearly labeled as such.

Not all satire comes from the Onion, either.

9. I recognized it as satire, but the sad thing is that it would not surprise me if it ended

up becoming the truth.

12. Ok

whew.

[malaise]

6. ROFL

Isn't he heading for prison?

[MineralMan]

8. Why would that make a difference?

Half of Trump's appointments should be on trial for felonies. Hell, Trump should be. Fraud is a felony, last time I heard, and the Trump University fraud should be more than enough to put him away in federal prison.

As for Joe Arpaio, I hope his bitterness eats him from the inside and hollows him out like a Thanksgiving pumpkin.

10. Good point

We should have a thread here daily - Groper Don the Con, President-Elect just settled a fraud case for $25m.
Once again they gave him a pass and pointed out that the New York AG is a Democrat as if that changes the facts re the fraud university.

11. My first thought was ...

Oh gawd ~
Now they'll all have to wear pink underwear and eat green bologna sandwiches.

Good one!

[blue sky at night]

13. I guess this is "funny"....

the way I feel right now when I read something like this I want to....quit wasting time on posts like this!

[ismnotwasm]

14. That this sound plausible is disturbing

But it does...

[Vinca]

15. I know your post is a joke, but it's totally feasible under Herr Trump.

[kebob]

16. DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!

Good fucking thing I don't have a heart condition.

[JonLP24]

17. Don't give him any ideas

[jmowreader]

18. Oh come on...

If Dumbass wants to use Arpaio for anything, it'll be Secretary of Homeland Security.

19. is it satire if it can easily be reality ?

[Eugene]

20. This is satire, but something like it really can happen.

There was talk several days ago about Arpaio getting
a post at Homeland Security. Joe Arpaio says that
nobody has called him yet.

21. If trump gets wind of your post, he will probably think its a good idea.

And offer arpaio a job.
