Now he can hire American workers, right?

What do you mean that American workers don't want to work for less than minimum wage and no benefits?

No one wants to work anymore!

While being arrested, right? Because they arrested the business owner who broke the law several times, right?

Adding to Scardina’s annoyance, the men had valid work permits and pending asylum applications, according to their attorney Regilucia Smith. “They are legally here,” she said. “Valid work permit, not even close to expired… again, no criminal records—not here, not in Nicaragua.”

Won't someone please think of the business owners!? These are actual businesses being impacted by this shit. :(

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

Small businesses don't count, we only care about large multinational conglomerates!

yeah... ya'll really dumb enough to ignore every sign this was going to happen. Thing is, you were always racist. You're just upset that your wealth is at risk from voting in a psychopath that doesnt care about anybody but himself.

“It’s quite a shock. You get to know these guys, you become their friends—not just an employer but a friend,”

This guy doesn't understand how friendship works. You guys are my friends, and that's why I've voted in someone to ruin your life, because I care about you! But this is mildly inconvenient for me too guys, c'mon think about me.

The real problem is that the MAGA movement doesn't really believe Trump's literal words. Because the man lies so often, they seem to just go on vibes. But then when Trump actually does something he said he'd do, the voters are suddenly all surprised Pikachu when Trump's actions don't match their personal interpretation of what they thought he meant.

I hope all these maga trump supporting idiots go bankrupt

HE'S their EMPLOYER! If there were any justice he'd be in jail for employing them.

Remember, it's not only the people who are here illegally that are being arrested/deported.

OH NO
anyway

Edit: Just realized this could be misunderstood. The above sarcasm was in the "fuck you, leopards at your face because you and others voted for leopards who eat faces" kind of way.

“It’s quite a shock. You get to know these guys, you become their friends—not just an employer but a friend,” he told NBC6

After he said he didn't really have buyer's remorse. Fuck this guy.

Scardina says he voted for Trump and still supports many of the former president’s policies, but this isn’t what he signed up for. “Buyer’s remorse? I don’t know, a little bit,” he said.

Maybe a little bit. I mean, that detention and deportation stuff might be just a touch heavy handed. One of these roofers had a little girl! I think. Oh well. Trump must have a plan or something.
I am trying to make it satire, but I don't think I am managing...

Trump voter gets choked

🥳

up

😴

He’s not actually upset about his staff being kidnapped, he’s just upset about his own bank account

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Scardina, who runs a small roofing business in Florida’s Lower Keys, cannot believe it. “It’s quite a shock. You get to know these guys, you become their friends—not just an employer but a friend,” he told NBC6, visibly emotional.

He continued, "It's almost like they're actual people. I mean not actually, but almost, you know?!"

I am sure he will feel better once DoJ shows him photoshopped pictures of his former employees' MS-13 tattoos.

Starting to feel cheap getting so much use out of this

🤣 like a child when they get caught, they only care when it affects them.

Still, his colleague, Virgil Scardina, says they count themselves lucky. “I get to go home and hug my kid,” he said. “These guys don’t. And they don’t deserve that.”

"Given what you know now will you vote against trump and the GOP in all races coming up?" - reporter probably

"Absolutely not! The GOP will always have my vote!" - this Roofing company owner probably

Pure leopard material yes, but this also highlights where the goalposts have shifted. The business owner fell for "were getting the criminals and rapists" lie, while the admin is rounding up everyone.

According to his lawyer, these employees had their papers in order and no criminal records domestically or in home country. So why were these employees collected? and why are so many republicans okay with this behaviour?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago

You had no idea that something like this might happen, huh?

So the world gets to suffer now, because you leaned into and voted for chaos.

Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers, you asshole.

Trump voter can go fuck himself. Then get back to fuckin work doing what his employees used to do before he voted for Trump.
