3. Sheriff Arpaio Sends Publicly Funded Deputy To Hawaii On 'Birther' Hunt

It seems there's not a month that goes by that Maricopa (Ariz.) County Sheriff Joe Arpaio isn't involved in one controversy or another.

As we've reported, Arpaio is already facing a federal civil rights lawsuit.

But now there's news that Arpaio is using public money on his quest to investigate President Obama's birth certificate. Both the Arizona Republic and Honolulu Star Advertiser report that Arpaio sent his deputy, Brian Mackiewcz, to Hawaii in part because of what Arpaio said were "security issues," related to the investigation.

"How. the. fuck. did we. wind. up. Here."

I might be wrong but there has been a campaign to dumb down the
American people on many different levels and it started w/getting rid
of the fairness doctrine in our publicly broadcasted media and attacks on
public education. God only what % of republicans really still think that
Hillary Clinton and her emails committed some kind of crime.

I almost wept for our nation as I saw Trump and company leading "lock her
up chants" in front of crowds of mouth breathers in what I think was ment to
set the stage of an "us vs them" civil conflict.


When i was boy in n.w. PA our next door neighbor's brother in a
very middle class neighborhood was the Governor of PA, Ray Shafer,
and he was a great progressive guy and he was a republican too.

The rigging of our elections have also contributed to our nation's decline.
