    No one gives a fuck that you’re sad. You voted for this. You participated in harming those people. You don’t get pitty for having to confront the consequences of your actions. Maybe put more thought than “I don’t like taxes” Into your next vote, dumbass.

    And he’ll vote for them again because he supports them and thinks “they just did it the wrong way”. Dude, this is exactly the way they were always going to do it, but you never listen to the other side because they’re “woke”. And by the time you wake up, it’ll be too late for all of us. Not just the fascist USA, by the way, because corporations and their enablers now have free reign to deny science and avoid action until the rest of humanity is dying in a cataclysmic hellscape. But I’m glad you were able to avoid seeing a couple of people holding hands, I’m glad all this was worth it to you.

    I thought this was double leopards eating his face (hiring illegals and voting for trump…), but it is just one leopard, in the sense that they had valid visas and asylum applications so he doesn’t seem to contradict himself, he’s simply stupid for voting for trump and expecting rationality.

    He heard Trump describing migrants as criminals and asylum seekers as frauds and thought that couldn’t possibly be describing his workers, who are not criminals or frauds.

    He didn’t stop to consider that the characterization was a lie.

    Sounds like someone is having the day they voted for.

    But also fuck him for making me have the day he voted for, more broadly speaking.

        If they have work permits they’re not illegal and shouldn’t have been snatched up anyway.

            I wonder if Benny Johnson started bleating out the same thing. That guy has one of the most punchable faces I’ve ever seen, by the way.

          There’s many articles out there about ice and organization, grabbing the wrong people or people who are properly identified, but their actual legal status mislabeled. As far as I’m concerned, ice is completely incompetent and they shouldn’t be enforcing any laws whatsoever at this point.

          GestICEpo is arresting first and asking questions later (how long is the process going to take? Are they going to get lost in a prison somewhere for months?).

        Yes, which should give ICE supporters a moment to pause and consider two things. First, anyone could be an immigrant. It could be their neighbors and coworkers. Documentation can be faked or doctored or just expired, and the immigration process is deliberately complex.

        Second, ICE isn’t being careful about who they abduct and deport. There’s no process, much less due process, and it can literally happen to any person, immigrant or native born, legal or otherwise.

          Steven Miller seems to be calling the shots on this, and his test is do they “pass as white”? If yes, move along, if not, arrest and sort it out later as they are potentially “monsters” and sub-human. And being wrong has so far had no consequences.

      I genuinely don’t know what to do with people like him. On the one hand… Yeah. He knowingly hired undocumented people, making him a hypocrite, and he just voted to have those people forcibly deported against his own interests, making him a fucking dumbass.

      At the same time, he seems to be showing actual remorse, and that should definitely be encouraged. The only - only - way this country has even the slightest shot at recovery is by flipping large numbers of the orange shit-gibbon’s supporters, like this guy.

      I really want to believe that’s possible. I don’t think it is, but I want to believe it.

      Edit: Missed the part in the article where these guys had valid work visas.

    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.

    Nope. You don’t get to trot out that bullshit. Project 2025 was available online. Nothing would be a surprise if you’d been a little bit curious about it. The man is following a well-reported plan. You just lived in echo chambers that told you to feel good about him.

    Scardina isn’t alone. He says other contractors in the area are being hit hard too. “I know of one landscaper that lost nine or 10 of his whole crew he had and he’s just totally out of business all of a sudden, just like that.”

    Absolutely no sympathy coming from me.
