I’m seeing it’s everyone who praises DJT have bigger🏀🏀’s, because even now if his MAGA believers cut you off post 2/20/25… they’re now a bit indignant about it🙄🙄🙄🙄🙉
Good luck dealing with disillusioned Republicans who are heavily armed. Don't think that's going to work out for these sheriffs the way they think it will.
You don't think they've discussed this very thing at their klan rallies? The racist assholes who hoard guns and the people who choose to be cops is damn near a circle Venn diagram.

These people were already on the verge of being bankrupt, and voted for Trump because he promised to fix everything immediately. They may all be corrupt and WS'ists and everything else, but they will pick their own welfare over Trump when backed into a corner.
I think the plan is to define the assets of illegal immigrants as "proceeds of crime", making them subject to asset forfeiture. The key features of asset forfeiture for this purpose are that no conviction is required, and that the assets can be given to law enforcement agencies.
Locally, in red states they have the power. In a sense MAGA was designed around them.
Outsiders are suspect. Businesses are their clients.
Force solves problems.
People of little means are problematic.
Potential problems can be detected by their skin color or accents.
WTH Mr.Elias! We’re in the middle of a COUP by Elon Musk and Trump! They’ve accessed federal payment systems at Treasury with help from Treasury Sec.Bessent! Next they’re going to steal the U.S. Treasury! We are under ATTACK!
My feeling is that state AGs and state courts are going to be VERY fucking important in the near term. The only justice that's going to occur anywhere is at the state level. Maybe a sliver of hope for blue states? Red states are for sure fucked, but that's not really anything new.
It fits very snugly with a police state. Almost their entire culture is obey in advance and threaten others into doing so. The power trip ain’t gonna be pretty.
It's a well known fact of life in the south. Wanna get wealthy and never need to work again? Just get elected to a term as a County Sheriff. It's always been a political position with access to money and to hurt the people you choose to hate.
Wait, so sheriffs in America, whose main historical purpose wasn’t to “protect people and property” but to catch runaway slaves, suppress labor strikes, and keep minorities “in line” by keeping them away from white people are siding with Fascism? What a shocker…..
Good. Sheriff's are local municipality and they are citizens living among the people. We will note every single law enforcement officer that sides with fascism and they will be brought to bear! Mark my words.
We had a town here that said they would not enforce the mandate. The mayor said that, and so did the police chief. I thought, "Oh, so you don’t have to do xyz because it's the law. Clearly, you can opt out of enforcing some laws. "
Sad reality where I live. Douglas county Oregon voted for the puke overwhelmingly twice🤬The cop shop in our little town is a total JOKE but I'm not laughing🤬
The Jim Crow 2.0 bodaciousness of politicized sheriffs to interpret laws as they saw fit was one of the most troubling aspects of Trump's first term. Law enforcement at the local level works best when politics takes its rightful back seat to impartial administration of the rule of law.
Back when I worked for the LAUSD (retired 11 yrs), the school police had sovereign citizens meetings. It's not just the sheriffs, who've always had their own ideas of how things should run. Law enforcement is steeped in right wing magical thinking.
Makes one wonder if law enforcement officers ever cared about the law or whether they just liked the idea of having license to arrest, punish, or even shoot people. Trump’s given them the latter, which may be why sheriffs still support him.
My dad was a palm beach county sheriff’s deputy in wpb Fl. He was also part of a far right Christian nationalist militia/ church which tried to recruit me to go shooting people at the Texas border. He had a drawer full of German ww2 memorabilia. Him and stepmom went to Germany for their honeymoon.
lol at “brothers in blue” as if being a police officer is akin to being in a street gang. Why does no one see the irony in “back the blue?” The irony is WE the people shouldn’t be backing the blue, THEY should be backing us.
We're watching America's vote prostituted as fascists tear away our institutions. While Americans listened to prattle about accountability and bipartisan love our home-grown Nazis undermined democracy. And they're just getting started.
I could be unfairly biased by too many American movies, but the word "sheriff" to me only brings thoughts of "ignorant", "incompetent", "nepotism", "overweight", "lazy", "corrupt" and "racist".
Well,as all of these sheriffs are elected officials, it will remain up to voters in their County/District as to whether they are in agreement with the Sheriff’s policies and performance in following said policies. I have to think in a County that is heavy in “brown” voters, that outcome might differ
Even though he's demonstrated no loyalty to them?
Yes. Masculine Energy at its highest. Get rid of women, POC to make your workplace testosterone toxic and you'll do whatever macho moron wants. What fools.
Their power comes from the citizens' TRUST that they will uphold the laws that OUR representatives pass for OUR welfare and protection!
When they lose that, they will be tossed aside at the first opportunity, usually that would be the next election, but sometimes sooner by recall or dismissal!
Maybe counties need to reconsider the concept of sheriff's and opt for police forces like cities or patrols like Highway Patrol/State Troopers under the direction of the governing body.
After what he did to the Capitol Police on Jan 6th, and then pardoned all the criminal scum, slap in the faces of all law enforcement! What the hell do these people see???
The police are literally modern-day plantation fence line guards. How do people not see this? They're basically stating they want to do the riches bidding.
This how civil war begins. People lose hope and confidence in the institutions and organizations meant to protect them and uphold the law. They become afraid. They arm themselves for protection and join with like minded people. A new militia is born...
Women, wear your seatbelt, use your turn signal, come to a full stop, keep your insurance & inspection sticker (if applicable) up to date, or, brace yourself to be raped for a minor traffic violation. These men will feel & know there will be no consequences, as they pretty much do now.
You might as well have just served up the report from the FBI’s investigation back in 2005 where he said our law-enforcement has been infiltrated by white supremacist.
Arizona used deputies 10 years ago to enforce the state’s immigration laws. It didn’t work. Wait till this MAGA sheriffs having deputies waiting for hours waiting for ICE to show up. Filling out hours of paperwork for what amounts to misdemeanor crimes. Not good use of deputies.
As a retired Deputy Sheriff I am ashamed of any peace officer supporting Trump, they soil the profession, spit on the rule of law & the Constitution they swore to uphold. It is impossible to support Trump, the self serving 34 count convicted Felon & the people at the same time. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE!
So many of these hillbilly cities in rural red states are illegal syndicates Chiefs of police are often the tip of the spear. They shyster and accumulate wealth until the feds kick in the door one in a thousand serious violations.
You don’t need us 🇨🇦 to secede. But you’re going to need some banks and they might not help you out
No matter where they are located they tie to Wall Street.

Then they wonder why no one likes law enforcement.

Trump, Vance, Scalise, Thomas, Musk, Bezos, all of them.
We, the people, demand it. We, the people, support it. We, the people, will do our jobs so that they may do theirs.
Against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
I can not believe the self importance give themselves while simultaneously making themselves irrelevant as Trump parrots 🦜
I ran out of outrage a few days ago. I’m now running low on incredulity
It's 100% illegal for the federal government to tell local authorities what to do especially when it comes to enforcement of immigration systems.
And the hoods come out at night.
Are the same that burn crosses
Are the same that burn crosses
The ROLE needs to be abolished, and replaced with US Marshalls.

How about you?
I’m wouldn’t be surprised if he’s plotting revenge on Gretchen Whitmer as we speak.
Dangerous people.
Not that anyone cares about the Constitution anymore, sadly.

YOU accept it.
EAT It
I’ve paid my legal fees and obligations to the courts. Had an unfortunate run in with my local sheriff.
A DWI that was thrown out and expunged (I paid the fee to have it expunged)20 years ago in another state is suddenly back on my record.
Thank God for fire fighters.
They’re mad that I’m no longer MAGA and some what Liberal living in their rural district,
Was blamed on a “homeless” man.
They followed me around my AA meetings because they were mad I got Military Diversion.
They left signs outside my gate that said Fuck Joe Biden.
I can’t prove it but I know it was Sheriff.
Subliminal harassment etc…
Strange advertisements just popping up on your phone out of nowhere. Your brand new phones just frying dead etc…
San Bernardino Counties Main Leader was upset that I kept calling him out for all the trash that gets dumped in my area.
Some how my brother an accountant is led to a job in the county trash dumping department.
Just what Ever these things mean to shut me up.
I’m praying 🙏🏼 and waiting for good folks to come along and shut these Trump criminals down.
Where’s @governor.ca.gov ? Mocking me I feel.

Secession should be a real topic and using the tariffs as leverage to gain military support from these countries should be Priority No. 1
