Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco says he is tired of legislators and elected officials not caring about the rule of law. That’s why he says he’s endorsing former President Donald Trump, who was just convicted last week in the state of New York on 34 counts of falsifying business records, in the November election.

    Holy shit, he actually said that.

    This, right here, is a prime example of a political headline that looks like it comes from The Onion.

      That’s probably why it’s posted in a forum for real headlines that look like they’re from The Onion.

    Cop literally wants a convicted felon to run the country, I can’t come up with a better satire for how little police care about rule of law… Or a better argument for the “Ban the Box” initiative

    I’m definitely all for loosening restrictions on former felons… Look bro, if we can have a convicted felon running for office, no reason why they can’t vote or hold jobs if they’ve done their time right?

      I couldn’t own firearms or vote but this motherfucker could be president? Literally makes no sense and moreso if you read the reasoning as to why voting rights and firearm right can be restricted.

      That’s a fair point: Once Trump has done his time then he can run for president.

      This sheriff would need to check the color of their hat before he agrees or not. And the color of their skin.

      to be fair, he was attempting satire – he is ‘switching sides’ and now wants a felon to run the country.

      They’re so bad at everything lol WOOSH on satire
