Dream Job Comes True, Karma Bites
Doesn’t every little boy at some point want to be a firefighter or a cop? Apparently, even rich little boys like Eric Trump do. So of course, the Sheriff of St. Lucie County, FL, came through and deputized him.
Never mind that he has NO law enforcement background or training. And he doesn’t even live in St. Lucie County. Neither is required in Floriduh. As long as you meet ‘minimum recruitment requirements’, you get full powers of arrest. Unless you are only hired to write parking tickets.
How does this happen? Well, you know there’s a back story, but it involves ethics investigations of the current and former sheriffs, big buck fundraisers for DeSantis, and more tangled webs than I wanted to get into here. You are welcome to follow links in the article for some fascinating reading if you have nothing else to do. Bottom line, Sheriff and Governor are fan boys of TFG over in Mar a Lago.
Karma had an opinion. The next day, a tornado in advance of Hurricane Milton hit the Sheriff’s Department Building. Thank you, Karma, you B!
Has 3 brain cells MTG shared that of course the lib woke weather scientists made the tornado attack the magat sheriff’s office? Of course dems and specifically Joe Biden and the weather czar Kamala Harris are behind this.
1Eric meets the requirements for being a sheriff’s deputy in St Lucie County? What? He’s male and breathing? “Male” shouldn’t matter, but it is Flori-duh.
2In most cases law enforcement officers are exempt from gun laws, including concealed carry. And many states have reciprocal arrangements to respect each others’ exemptions in this. I’m willing to bet that this is the reason for the shiny new deputy badge. Note the rifle with scope in the background of the photo above.
I don’t remember which of the two spalpeens, Uday or Qusay (or Eric or Junior), was photographed with a dead baby elephant tail in hand while on safari.
3Professor, methinks you’re on to something there.
4Because that’s not a rifle you’re gonna see in a deer stand.
With the bipod it looks like some kinda sniper rifle.
Sure as hell ain’t a ,30-06.
So now you gotta ask yourself why that happens to be
A big-ass assault rifle on a bipod just chilling on somebody’s desk.
5Cause just on general principle that kinda seems like desking activities would be curtailed somewhat.
Unless…
Mayhap…
It’s just there for the optics.
Whodathunkit?
Short version:
Our Guv has developed a history of appointing shady Sheriffs.
That happens when one dies, retires unexpectedly or goes to jail. A temporary one is needed until the next election and being the incumbent is a great advantage.
In this case the Sheriff retired for “health reasons” during an ethics investigation last year and the Guv appointed his underling to replace him.
Almost immediately there was public outcry about this choice and the unflattering report of the retired Sheriff’s activities was released. This story show us his priorities.
My favorite appointment was Gregory Tony/Toney/Toni.
As a 17 year old in Philly he killed a man. Court history is somewhat clouded but he changed the spelling of his name and got hired as a cop in Fla. We’ll leave that alone for now.
Years later worked out in a gym with a Parkland parent after the school massacre. That parent had the ear of the Guv and he appointed Tony with no background check. The history then broke wide open along with lurid sex stuff but the Guv left him be.
