Holy shit, he actually said that.
This, right here, is a prime example of a political headline that looks like it comes from The Onion.

Cop literally wants a convicted felon to run the country, I can't come up with a better satire for how little police care about rule of law... Or a better argument for the "Ban the Box" initiative
I'm definitely all for loosening restrictions on former felons.. Look bro, if we can have a convicted felon running for office, no reason why they can't vote or hold jobs if they've done their time right?
to be fair, he was attempting satire -- he is 'switching sides' and now wants a felon to run the country.
They're so bad at everything lol WOOSH on satire
It's time we take seditionists out of the Sheriff's Departments.
The buildings would be empty
Oh yeah, I remember hearing about this as a local-ish. He's bum hurt about criminal justice reform in Cali (non violent offenders getting less or no jail time, that kinda thing). Makes this job "harder" he says.
It hasn't been smooth sailing, mind you-- but it's at least the government trying to do something about an overcrowded prison system.
Makes his job harder? GOOD. Policing communities should never be an easy job. And you signed up for it, numb nuts.
Look, I'm all for equal representation and equal opportunity for everyone. The US had a black president already, which is awesome, but I'm not thinking the next step here is to "recently convicted felon". Maybe try for a woman as president first?
Just saying.
There's a whole long LIST of things we can try long before settling on "first felon president."

We could go on and on too.
The gnostics wouldn't accept any president. I'm expecting a response in relation as to why i chose a cult.

This reminds me of one of those furries who always has to interject in any role playing situation that they're furries and their character is a furry despite nobody in the gaming session actually asking or encouraging that person.
Why?
First Robot President
Is Nixon available ?
Oh, the normalize it trick.
If congress certifies, Trump wins.
Only if an electoral tie happens and that is t very likely in the upcoming election.
This isn't for tie breaking. It always happens to know who the president is, it's the process.
Yep, I agree with the sheriff
I believe Trump should be sentenced to 4 years of community service... hard labor as the President of the United States. That should teach him a lesson.
