Outrage after ex-Trump aide claims he gave unhoused people fake money
Johnny McEntee says in TikTok video he keeps ‘fake Hollywood money’ so ‘when they go to use it, they get arrested’
If that’s true, isn’t that considered counterfeit and thus federal prison?
What a giant condescending piece of human trash.
trump, or this guy?
Yeah
He is literally admitting to committing a felony here. Saying "Just Kidding!" doesn't let you off the hook. I hope the Secret Service looks into this clown.
Federal law pretty much says [IANAL] that passing fake cash off with intent to defraud the recipient into believing it is real; is in fact a felony.
Outrage, but no surprise at all. Trump simply attracts wretched human beings.
I was tipped a For Motion Picture Use only 5 dollar bill at my valet job and called the person out for it being not a real 5. They are very distinguishable, even on first glance the color and texture is just wrong. The lady who gave it to me got all flustered and claimed she didnt even know it wasnt real. This kind if thing happens more often than you think
Unhoused? Is it suddenly wrong think to say homeless, did I miss another one?
Unhoused is a more politically correct term. But the literature typically distinguishes between unsheltered and homeless. I honestly don’t like the term unhoused because it blurs the line between those two categories. I spent like one semester doing a research project that involved homelessness.
I'm sorry, I'm not very much into political correctness, it very much has a better than thou vibe to it for me from people that typically don't do anything to actually solve the issue.
When you're homeless I don't think you care much if someone calls you unhoused and now somehow things are better? No, you're still in the shit.
I think people should spend more time on actual sustainable solutions and less time on trying to change how we talk.
HOMELESS, lets not save others feelings on the back of those that are 'unhoused', it seems like those people already have enough going on. Also fuck this guy.
Referring to people as unhoused is actually a way to help people see them as people and not an "other". Some see "homeless" as a bit dehumanizing.
I'm with the other person, virtue signaling in words is not helping the issues.
I do not believe the homeless community came out and said "I hate the word homeless, call me unhoused." There issue is AFAIK with houses, not name calling.
Saying "unhoused people" instead of "homeless people" doesn't make them sound any more like a person; it's just a different qualifier.
EDIT: Even worse in this case, there are a number of people that are trying to use "unhoused" to distance "homeless" from the traditional image of an unemployed person that may or may not be asking for money on a street corner. They want to capture people that may have employment but live in a car or something.
Like... This is pretty clearly about the former (someone struggling to make ends meet and begging for moeny), not someone struggling to buy a house.
I totally agree, making sure they're seen as people is great, and changing the wording to reflect that is a positive change.
I just don't think "unhoused people" is the right one. To me it implies that it's temporary and there's some sort of action being done to rectify it. I have no idea why I have that preconception though. Maybe it's just me?
I guess something like "homeless people" is a middle ground, but it still has the stigma
Jesus. This is just too much. Words have meaning you know. I live in an apartment so I guess I'm unhoused. Homeless though does imply that I have none of these things since i have no home.
neither is helping the issue, I think homeless means we need to get them a home. unhoused sounds like they have a home they are just sleeping in the ally for fun.
