“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.
-
This is quite amazing to me since it seems to be the actual case. The people who were saying we shouldn't listen to him, but watch what he does, were openly advocating for a man whose word they know means nothing. It's perplexing. Politicians are an untrustworthy lot one and all, but god damn, the open and naked willingness to vote for someone whose position they can't know, whose promises carry absolutely no weight, that's truly stupendous.
They are at once admitting Trump says horrible shit, but also that he's an inveterate liar and that makes it better somehow. Both him being honest and dishonest should be equally disturbing. That's some next level cognitive dissonance.

He’s a hypocritical pos
-
-
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!
-
Guy is a fucking roofer, and he's voting to kick out all foreigners. What a putz.
I was in roofing for a few years, and believe me, you want a Mexican ( or some other south of the border) crew working on your roof. They are fast, quiet, efficient, and fast. They will get it done, and get it done right.
Only a terrible businessman, and really stupid person would vote for the guy who is expressly saying that he intends to hurt your workers, and your business. "Yep, Im voting for the guy who is promising to ruin my business!"
This guy deserves everything he gets.
-
They are fast, quiet, efficient, and fast.
Wow that's really fast
-
They call him Gonzales for a reason
-
Muy speedy

-
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.”
-
-
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.
-
I hope all these maga trump supporting idiots go bankrupt
-
i could only hope.
but it's not even close to the amount of punishment they deserve.
they ruined the lives and communities of so many people, and are upset that they hurt them so much they can no longer exploit them.
-
-
Won't someone please think of the business owners!? These are actual businesses being impacted by this shit. :(
-
Small businesses don't count, we only care about large multinational conglomerates!
-
-
Vincent is another MAGA POS, zero sympathy. Hopefully this asswipe ends up on a roof with 30 C + temperatures.
-
"I didn't vote for this"
-
They should ask these people the real question: "Will you now start listening to the people who have been warning others of Trump?"
-
Trump voter can go fuck himself. Then get back to fuckin work doing what his employees used to do before he voted for Trump.
-
“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.
-
trumpers never admit buyers remorse, than they will have to reflect on thier decisions.
-
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...

-
HE'S their EMPLOYER! If there were any justice he'd be in jail for employing them.
-
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.”
Remember, it's not only the people who are here illegally that are being arrested/deported.
-
It's important to remember that it isn't your citizenship or documentation that is the problem, it is your origin. If you were born somewhere else, they want you out, no matter what your legal situation is. Once they get done rounding up the undocumented, they will come for the rest. They don't even respect birthright citizenship, which is baked into the Constitution, they certainly aren't going to respect green cards or naturalized citizenship.
If you were born someplace else, you are unwelcome by the MAGA Nazis, and they will send you back, citizen or not.

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?
-
So why were these employees collected? and why are so many republicans okay with this behaviour?
it's racism. always has been. cult leaders give their followers an easy target to blame their shitty lives on, and it works. legal, illegal--doesn't matter. they're brown. that's literally the reason
how can we get to the point where the "why are they doing this?" no longer needs to be asked?
-
The sad part is that even if the lives of these MAGAs get worse - worse than the lives of the immigrants they look down upon in their home country, they would likely still be racist.
There are pockets in rural America, an obscenely rich country, that are borderline third world country conditions, and they still vote Republican with a sense of superiority and extreme ignorance of their relative standard of living compared to rest of the world.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if some of them were okay with trading electricity and sewage systems (return to 1700s) for racial and religious homogeny.
-
-
So why were these employees collected?
Brown people.
-
That, and the fact that there just aren't as many undocumented immigrants in the US as Trump and his advisors have claimed. So to stoke fear they need to keep the numbers up. Any innocent, law-abiding, legal residents caught up in their net are acceptable collateral damage (in their view).
One can only hope that in 50 years, Trumpism and mass deportations will be a short-lived historical anomaly like McCarthyism and the Red Scare.
-
-
I might be naive, but many Republicans are okay with it just because it hasn't affected them yet.
Oh, this guy knew these workers, thought of them as friends? Clearly they were just hiding their criminal lifestyle from him. Not like MY friends. Hey, why are there a bunch of white vans outside their house?
-
They're OK with it because on the surface level, it's what they want. Any single little bit of inspection and it falls apart, but they get to call them illegals, criminals, etc and talk about how good a job Trump is doing. They get to claim a win over the Libs, and that is the height of what they want from this presidency.

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.
-
-
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
-
im deeply confused as to how this isnt the standard follow-up.. "would you change your vote if you could?" and "will you continue to vote for the party that has these policies in their platform?"
-
Actual journalists tend to avoid anything that appears partisan. Their job is to report the news, not to deliver commentary.
And a 20-year campaign by Republicans against mainstream journalists has left them in a position where even straight factual reporting is considered biased by 50% of voters.
I agree that someone should follow up with these people and get them to really consider how their politics are affecting their own daily lives. But that really needs to be dealt with by pundits and talk-show hosts instead of reporters.
-
"Well... if they promise that this time it will be different and they will only deport criminals and not the others..."

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

Trump voter gets choked
🥳
up
😴

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.”
Lessons learned: 0
Party supported in next election: republiQan

PLEASE be Considerate. He THOUGHT he would be Able to Bully Black Children at his Client's HOMES! He DIDNT expect THIS so be NICE AND RESPECTFUL stupid dumb librul losers!
-
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.
-
OH NO
anywayEdit: 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.
-
🤣 like a child when they get caught, they only care when it affects them.

Making Americans Humble Again

He's got an Italian sounding name himself. DEPORT
-
Schadenfreude 😈
-
When you meet a person like this, it's tempting and easy to insult them, but that is not the way forward. They will only double down...
They need non judgemental discussions, to make them start exercise their brain for real.
-
In person sure. It's essential for persuasion. But here let me just enjoy watching assholes get own goals.
-
Yes, that's exactly why I wrote "when you meet".
-
-
For people like this? About the only way I care if they exercise their brain is if it's plastered on the wall behind them. I, and a lot of others, are far past the point of "kumbaya, let's all be friends and forgive". They've taken more than they can ever repair and I wish for nothing but the worst for them for as long as they are alive. If they decide to be informed or not is immaterial. Their feefees mean jack and shit.
-
Whether intentional or not they voted to inflict this pain on others, to destroy the lives of hardworking innocent immigrants and to usher in a police state. They need to come to terms with that and sincerely abandon the platform before any forgiveness or healing can happen
-
9 times out of 10 there is no rehabilitation for these people. Focus your time and energy on more fruitful endeavors.
-
Better to keep typing "magtard" at people, I guess...
-
-
You're right, and I hope the people near this guy do that - just like I hope we all, if we confront this situation, act like human beings with empathy, to be better than them.
For this, though, on the internet where this guy will never see it, some schadenfreude is totally in order.
-
I share your view. I hold back my desire for schadenfreude by realising that the greatest punishment would be if they grew to understand the harms of their actions and views. Empathy can hurt like a bitch
-
Fuck them let them double down. Fucker’s will eat shit so we would have to smell it. Let it fucking burn.
-
Let it fucking burn.
That's fine. Have you joined in on the burning?
