    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?

      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

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

      Ah, the important distinction here is that he doesn’t want just any convicted felon on the throne. I am pretty sure his list of convicted felons he’d like to see elected contains a single name that rhymes with Honald Frump.
