It was good to get away from the GOP presidential race for a few days. I fully understand what Michael Lewis went through when he wrote ‘Losers’ in 1996. The human brain can only absorb so much from Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, et al. I swear—I feel like I’m becoming Maureen Dowd writing Op-Ed pieces on the NY Times instead of just of an average dude in Deer Creek, Oklahoma running a modest OKC Thunder blog. Yet, as an American I feel I can’t turn my head away from this bullshit and just ignore it.
So—here’s the famous Sheriff Joe Arpaio introducing the next GOP presidential nominee to an Arizona rally this week-end where of course there was protesting, some violence, and arrests. If you believe Barack Obama was born in Kenya, is a practicing Muslim, that Mexico will foot the 8 billion or that the United States Congress would actually allow the construction of a wall, that 11 million people will be rounded up and deported, that the Department of Education will be abolished on Day 1 of a Trump Presidency, or that tariffs of up to 45% on imports be imposed which would kickstart another world wide economic shutdown—this might be in your wheelhouse.
Hey, but you know what, the first time Sheriff Joe laid eyes on Donald Trump he knew he was the one. Sigh.
