Bonus being shit on by trump:

Patterson has since leased the Kemah property to another tenant, who has renamed it “MAGA Burger.”

That’s probably a good idea, because lawyers for President Trump’s private business, the Trump Organization, sent Trump Burger of Bellville a cease and desist letter on Feb. 3.

The Trump Brand

The letter stated “... we were surprised to learn that you have been flagrantly infringing upon the Trump Organization’s valuable and well-established intellectual property right by operating at least three restaurants under the Trump name and brand.”

The letter included a reference to the Trump Burger location in Flatonia.

    I mean, why not take their money? One buck in my pocket is one buck less in republican party / Trump donations.

    I've struggled with this line of thinking, myself. Sure, you're taking their money, which is a plus, but you're also encouraging the things that make them so disagreeable to begin with. Do the ends justify the means?

    It's his wife and she has a hearing coming up. They failed to provide any documentation showing that they lived together after getting married. This is standard stuff, had to do this with my wife.

    So yeah, the text is a lie.

    No, it's him who is being threatened with deportation. It is due to not showing any evidence of living together though.

    Furthermore, the notice stated that, “We have been notified that Roland Beainy is currently detained by ICE and his green card has been revoked. He is no longer recognized as a leaseholder or authorized representative of Trump Burger Kemah LLC.”

    It really isn't

    Roland Beainy, who reportedly grew up in Lebanon and moved to the United States in 2019, alleges in a lawsuit that he owns 50 percent of the business Trump Burger LLC. Beainy filed the suit in Fayette County on April 16 against Iyad Abuelhawa, also known as Eddie Hawa. Hawa started the original Trump Burger restaurant in Bellville.

    In the Fayette County lawsuit, Beainy claims he paid Hawa $65,000 for the 50 percent stake in the business. Beainy’s partners, Bart and Dana Blakelock, filed an affidavit supporting Beainy’s claim. They say Hawa agreed to the purchase on or about Jan. 22, 2025, and that the money was received by Hawa in March. Hawa has since filed a counterclaim, alleging that there was no written contract. Hawa is seeking $1 million in damages. That case is pending in court.

    Uhm. Using the "Trump" wordmark for profit. Was he paying a bribe a license for that?

    That first more link is horrible. The "joint" repeatedly, and UCIS instead of USCIS. Credibility is low on that one.

    Nothing more Trumpian than bilking an investor out of money and then siccing the cops on him when he complains.

    Well, he's living up to the name with all of the lawsuits. Also, trump doesn't like that they're using his name to make money, lol.

    • Suing partner because he gave him 65k to be a partner. Has witnesses. Partner says there was no written contract and is counter suing.
    • Landlord is suing Trump burger because he registered Maga Burger 2 months before they opened up and never told them. The landlord demanded 10k more a month added on to the 11k because they're using "his name."
    • The partners are suing the landlord because all of their credit card transactions started to go to the landlord.
    • Landlord is trying to take over the restauraunt as his own but the Lebanese born co-owner was detained by ICE.
    • Trump sent a cease and desist for using his name.

    Fuck Trump. That being said, you ARE actually making this up. From the article, they're revoking the co-owner's wife's I-130 because they don't have proof they lived together while married. The co-owner has not been deported and he has not lost his green card.

    -edit- There is a notice from one company issuing a lawsuit saying he was detained and had his green card revoked (June 9). He was released on bond on July 7, i.e. not deported thus far. Green card status unconfirmed.

    Take it for what it's worth but it does say in the article that the defendant landlord, Patterson, was notified that

    Roland Beainy is currently detained by ICE and his green card has been revoked

    If you really wanna act like them, you gotta send at least 10 or 20 more examples in a few minutes. By the time they have time to fact check one, they're hit with a few dozen more. They call it "flooding the zone with shit".

    I mean, there aren't many right wingers on here, not sure what a left wing version of "firehose of falsehoods" is gonna acheive here. I prefer real, accurate information here. Use the "firehose" on facebook and reddit, not here.

    It's his wife who may lose her green card, a hearing is pending.

    When my wife and I married I had to put her name on some of the bills so she can get mail proving she lives here. Put her on my bank account as well. That's all this dipshit had to do.
