Can somebody show me where it says county sheriffs are the highest constitutional authority?

I don’t get it. In Pennsylvania, the county sheriff’s main job is transporting suspects between the county jail and the courthouse. They don’t actually investigate crime or anything.

Not that the local cops are any better. Most small town cops are chiefs of a department of one and their main responsibility is maintaining the speed trap as a source of revenue for the borough. If there’s any real crime, they call in the state troopers.

Mid-sized communities have larger police forces, most of whom have the minimal amount of training possible.

Then there’s the bigger city cops like Philly PD and… yeah, the less said about them, the better.

I thought Leonardo da Vinci invented the rotary club.

Something I'm pretty sure you'd never see in Ada County but wouldn't it be nice if you did once in a while. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

The worst cases are in Stevens County, WA. All the Nazis that people imagined were in Idaho 30 years ago only went to Hayden Lake for special occasions. They lived in Kettle Falls -- and still do.

Cf. The Second Judicial District, where 2 right-wing incumbents (in Nez Perce Co. and Idaho Co.) got their asses handed to them by professional cops in elections.

Not to downplay Russian sacrifices in the war, which were tremendous and indeed sapped most of the German strength, but the U.S. was a massive juggernaut that only gained strength throughout. The casualty ratios between the U.S. and its prey were far greater than anything the Russians achieved (Russians tended to suffer far more casualties than their enemies, and only kept on because they had more to lose and no choice in the matter). U.S. industrial power was immense and continued to grow--even the Russians were dependent on it.

Turning against the USSR in 1945 would have been a bad idea--certainly way more casualties than it'd be worth--but the U.S. likely would have come out ahead in the deal.

Colorado potatoes make better vodka (and no, I’m not biased at all).

So a rude awakening for him either way.

Our county sheriff is one of those "constitutional" asswipes, and you do not want to see his lights flashing in your rear view!

You understand that the commies were hauling all their ammo and fuel in Studebaker trucks given to them by the tens of thousands by, you guessed it, the U.S. plus we were bombing the crap out of German factories making them incapable of sustaining the war effort in the East, yeah?

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, North Korea going all Juche, and China turning into some sort of market economy, there are now more communists living in RWNJ heads than there are in the actual world..
