(Disclosure: It’s my blog post)
The sheriff of Butler County, Ohio, one Richard K. Jones, who gives “Yosemite Sam meets diabeetus,” legit wrote a letter to DJT — cc’d to Elon, no less — saying that immigration visas were “too confusing” for local law enforcement. I wasn’t joking about his look.
Then held a Facebook Live/press conference to… apparently brag about how unintelligent he thinks law enforcement is.
Of course, behind the cringe is the simple fact that we’re looking at a bully who is so unintelligent that he has to ask who the “bad guys” are. A bully who knows who the bigger bullies are, and thinks that there is absolutely nothing wrong with displaying both his lack of intelligence and his willingness to bully others to the public at large.
And judging by the comments on his post, he’s sadly right.
Who cares about the guy’s look he’s asking to streamline a process. Odds are nobody else will listen because he’s just a Sheriff so he’s asking someone who just might get the ball rolling.
Anyone in government knows that the only thing worse than the paperwork is trying to change something. I can’t blame him for trying.
