America's 'toughest sheriff' Joe Arpaio loses re-election bid in Arizona

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- The Arizona sheriff who has spent more than 20 years touting himself as the toughest in America, partly because of his harsh stance against illegal immigration, has lost his re-election campaign.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio, nationally known for operating a tent camp where he imprisons people he has identified as illegal immigrants, lost his bid for a seventh re-election as top law enforcement official in Maricopa County, Ariz., to retired police Sgt. Paul Penzone.

I'm a Zonie. Joe lost in part because his birther investigation just evaporated suddenly and people here lost faith in him because of it. He caved under pressure and instead of being upfront about it, he went silent.

What's the bet he has a position in the Trump Regime?

I'd make him the head of the bureau of prisons.

Good one, I hadn't thought of that.

I'd nominate him to head the Border Patrol...  ;)

Something I always wondered about the sherriff - he's been in the news a lot for various things, but what the hell is the guy like as an actual LEO? Is he any good?

I remember when Sheriff Joe was a Democrat. He has a future like Sarah Palin IMO: pundit, reality TV, etc.
