    I fucking hate defending this piece of shit, but what he’s saying isn’t “they worked overtime and I refused to pay them.”

    He said: “I hated to give overtime. I hated it. I shouldn’t say this, but I’d get other people in. I wouldn’t pay.”

    So he’s doing the scumbag, but legal, thing of “you’re about to hit overtime so don’t come in/continue working. Someone else will finish/cover your shift.” Because as we all know he’s a cheap piece of shit.

    “The media” aren’t doing themselves any favors by misleading people with the way the wrote this. It just adds to the Magoos hatred and belief that they’re being lied to by everyone other than Trump and Faux News… Fucking morons everywhere… Magoos and media assholes alike. Gotta get them clicks though, who cares about the impact…

      I don’t think people are upset because he broke the law, that’s a separate ref flag, they’re upset because he did whatever he could to reduce wages for ordinary Americans and boost profits for himself. It’s shitty and he’s saying it out loud.

      I liked how the same author left us hanging and wrote a second seperate article for the quote about The Purge from the same rally, and made us click the link for it rather than just give the information.

      It just makes the media lose credibility, which is why we are here in the first place.
