What a complete asshole.

Looks like there is a big asshole and a bunch of small assholes as well. I doubt anything at all will be done.

The small assholes I can kinda look past, because when the exceptions to the law were created, they probably didn't expect it to have such a big impact. Big oops on the regulations.

This guy, on the other hand, obviously doesn't give a shit about laws, regulations, or other people (as evidenced by the fact that he was willing to take a contract for the totally-not-xenophobia-motivated border wall grift).

Was that a flock of birds or perhaps bugs just after 1:21 in the video? It didn't look right to me, like maybe it was CG.

Assuming I'm an idiot (safe assumption) and that it was a flock of birds or something, kudos to that team for getting that shot timed, framed, and delivered. It looked exceptionally magical for a news story.
