The sherrif's and county CEO where I live are all appointed. For decades they have ushered in new sherrifs and county leaders by using 'interim' policies to place people in power as the ruling elite retire or step down during a scandal (like when rico charges came up against the sherrif department). There is a sham election with no opponents, and we all know how it usually goes for incumbents.
Pendly is appointed to BLM as acting director, which the federal court ruled illegal, and yet he continued to make policy. Now, as part of the Western States Sheriffs Association, he defies the legally appointed Secretary Deb Haaland. This is the danger too many don't understand. These Posse Comitatus, so called Constitutional Sheriff's assert their authority above any other government agency.
When I was a police sergeant, I recall the horror I felt watching the Bundy clan and their supporters pointing rifles at federal officers during the BLM standoff. Every one of them should have been arrested, but federal law enforcement has been crippled by fear since Ruby Ridge and Waco. Project 2025 would empower these lawless sheriffs to seize land as they see fit, nullify laws they don't like, enforce the criminalization of women's reproductive health choices, and so much more.
Thanks for the work you do raising awareness, Jessica. Beware of these dangerous folks wearing guns and badges!

I can’t stop thinking of this comment
It's one of the more cursed things that I've said today.
