There's always funds for more misery. But never any for alleviation. I'm tired boss.
Visited an alligator farm in Florida when we were kids… the prisoners/detainees/involentary-vacationers —you know, whatever we’re calling them soon are fucked… but the alligators are probably coming out ahead on this one.
I was incorrect…
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said a largely abandoned airfield in the Everglades would be repurposed as a detention facility to house immigrants living in the U.S. illegally with criminal records. He dubbed it "Alligator Alcatraz," saying any detainees seeking to escape would face alligators and pythons in the treacherous wetlands surrounding the site.
But now I’m wondering what largely abandoned airfield in the everglades was constructed for? Does the C.I.A. /still/ get their cocaine delivered there?
P.S. Yes, all of this was sarcasm.
Concentration camps.
Monty Python moment.
Fantastic, when does she plan to move in?
This sounds like a great use of my tax dollars. School lunches for kids are so yesterday.
So you Americans are officially entering the ‘let’s build concentration camps’ phase.
Showers and crematoria go next.
Don’t put this mess on us. It’s a MAGA thing.
They do have the mandate of the people since It is a democratically elected government, no matter how rotten it is and how bad of a system gerrymandering etc is. Of course every American doesn't agree with these idiots, thankfully, but it's not like they swooped in by coup d'etat. They're doing exactly what they promised to do, supported by ~35% of American people and accepted by the silent ~35% who didn't bother voting.
They didn't win.
Anything credible to back that up or is it just coping with the fact that half of Americans are brain damaged?
I've never seen proof that these claims are more valid than Trump's own claims about the 2020 election. It's USA's own fault - and the incompetence of the Democrats - that these baboons were elected
Well there is a lawsuit in New York that unlike Trump baseless claims going prove it. Just like in 2000 when Gore won. Won't change anything but it will prove that it was all projection on Trump part. He screamed and yell. And sue he while plotting to steal the election.
Now anyone who excuses him of the same looks unhinged. But we can bring the proof. But that won't matter to maga.
Conspiracy theories, not just for maga anymore.
I am not at all religious but I pray that the hand of god comes down and smites all of these people off the face of the earth.
Concentration camps. Call them what they are. Fucking nazis.
We don't want them here, so... we're gonna spend a bunch of money to lock them up here.
Florida is about to be on the hook for a lot of shit lol. They will support this just like they supported the wall.
Ah yes, surely this will fix that deficit we've been running for 25 years. Man, these people are smart.
Everyone should be calling it Alligator Auschwitz cuz that what it really is.
