For context- John Adair, who is a co-owner of Sooke Brewing Co. (so really can't be "terminated") posted a photo of himself wearing a residential school denying tshirt on Truth And Reconciliation Day. He was proud of it and literally said it with his whole chest. He meant to harm.
Two photos of a man in a black baseball cap. One photo is of him wearing a tshirt with the Sooke Brewing Company logo and the other is of his wearing a tshirt with large block letters saying "Show me the evidence", which is a common refrain from those who deny the harms of residential schools. It is racist.

So It’s another fucking Ponzi scheme to funnel tax dollars to these dipshits. In my 17 years/7 combat tours fighting in the GWOT, never once did it occur to me “you know what would improve this? Some ketamine addled nazi dipshit, a fat, smarmy ham faced fuck, and a failed video game developer.”

By late November 2020, Trump was joking to others about how crazy Sidney Powell was. That didn't stop him from cashing a $300 donation with the memo line, "Release the Kracken." [sic]
A heavily redacted check dated 11-20-20 for $300.00 with an address of Greenville, NC. 

The memo line reads, "Release the Kracken."
