On August 5, a federal judge who had temporarily blocked the Trump administration from ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for as many as 350,000 Haitians living in the United States officially lifted that order, leaving immigrants from the Caribbean nation more vulnerable than ever to arrest and deportation.

    Damn, the party that lied about Haitians eating people’s pets is making Haitian immigrants an easier target for ICE? Who’da fucking thought?

    Wilkinson “Ken” Sejour says he backed Trump because “he’s a businessman.”

    Bro, fucking anyone can be a businessman, but Trump was especially bad at it. Aside from the famously bankrupted casinos, he’d have made more money just putting it in an index fund and doing nothing. Dude’s only making money now through blatant corruption.

      I remember 10-12 years ago, I found a YT channel making videos about tech companies and tech leaders, at first it was interesting, bur then came the Hyperloop video…

      The guy kept talking about Musk as if he was some kind of oracle and kept trying to add legitimize Musk just because he was an entrepreneur.

      I sm not kidding, in the entire video, they always said “entrepreneur Elon Musk” every single time they mentioned him by name, they added the title entrepreneur, as if that would give musk legitimacy to all ideas.

      I grew up in a very train focused family, my dad sold railway signal systems, and was/is an active member of a heritage railroad, and nothing in the Hyperloop video made any sense to me. Combine that with the grating of constantly hearing the title entrepreneur being assigned to Musk every single time he was mentioned.
