Has he been there? Like it's fuckin old. And small. Like really small. I don't know if he can legally do that either. Since it's a state park.
So... You take a prison which:
And you get:
Yes. Brilliant idea, truly a Trump deal in all its glory, as we get to see how the casino-bankrupter's mind works. Hopefully by the time the prison is ready Trump and his cronies get to be the first "tenants". And whoever comes next declares the prison closed again and leaves them rotting there.
Yes...?
It was literally NEVER about the money being spent by the government. Anyone who actually believed that is by dictionary definition, dumb.
I bet he plans on charging rent to the prisoners at California rates or some bullshit
Somebody needs to just wave something shiny in front of him to distract him from this stupid idea.
An put a tariff on movies so he doesn't do it again! Oh, wait...
Next up on truth social:
ONE OF MY SUBORDINATES JINGLED HIS KEYS IN FRONT OF ME FOR HOURS. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS MUCH ENJOYMENT IN MY LIFE.
MAKE JINGLING KEYS GREAT AGAIN!
He really is a profoundly stupid man. Everyone who supports him should be ashamed of themselves.
His supporters have been so crippled by centuries of inbreeding they see him as their genius messiah, literally.
The same PBS he wants to cut ahahaha
Wasn't that place at least as famous for successful escapes as it was for being a tough and scary place of punishment? If you're whole bag is turning back the clock to a time you thought was tougher, more punitive and therefore somehow more effective at deterrence and your decisions are more cultural than rational; shouldn't you pick somewhere not famous specifically for failing at it's entire purpose of existence?
Stop letting this man watch television.
"Old man yells at cloud" isn't the issue, "Old man can order airstrike on cloud" is.
*Nuke a hurricane
Let him watch all the television he wants. Stop letting him interact with people and things.
Let him interact with people and things, but in a retirement home where he belongs.
THE FLETCHER MEMORIAL, HOME FOR INCURABLE TYRANTS AND KINGS
The only final solution I support.
No I'm thinking a bunker with 9 foot thick concrete walls, no door, a 1.5 inch diameter hole for air and McDonald's french fries, a television and one of those brown blankets they wrap you in when your house burns down. And maybe if you put me in a good enough mood I wouldn't turn a garden hose down the air shaft.
The last thing that America needs is another jail. They have more jails and inmates than any other country on the planet. Also it would cost much more to refurbish Alcatraz than it would to build a new jail. The orange rapist is an idiot.
This is standard procedure for him. Something gives him an idea, he assumes that it is pure genius and he immediately runs with it without even thinking it through or at least educating himself on the subject first to see if it is actually a good idea or not.
This is him just moments before he famously suggested on a national press conference that shining UV light or injecting disinfectant into people's bodies could be a treatment to COVID:
Been commenting about this for YEARS! Could never find that part of the video and here you have a pic!
I'm sure there was another similar incident in the last few months when some "policy" came out of the blue, and someone connected it to something else that had just recently been on TV. But, finding something like that is nearly impossible. What do you search for, "crazy policy ideas, Trump, 2025" There are just mountains of BS to sift through.
If it was just him, it wouldn't be that bad. Kinda like Bush Jr. The problem is that he surrounds himself with yes-men. I'm sure you've seen meetings with him and his orbit. He says something, stupid as hell, and his cult claps, stands, cheers and/or laughs like it's worthy of a Nobel. It's seriously deranged behavior. It's a cult. Except he's just grandpa sundowner everyone agrees with to get in his good graces, or a child spouting nonsense while the parents just go "that's nice dear" absent-mindedly. He's so easy to fluff.
I feel we also devalue Bush jr. for the way he chose to speak to people. I feel you could call Bush a smart man, even politically savy, while still talking like a layman. However, Trump is genuinely dumb like his speech implies, and people just roll with it.
Like a spoiled 4 year old in so many ways...
This is standard procedure for him. Something gives him an idea
so donvict watches public television. huh. the very same public television he wants to cut funding to...
and for entertainment purposes, not just to find 'biased' news reports to whine about in an overnight all-caps twitter tantrum.
He probably just didn't know how to change the channel back to Newsmax.
He was mindlessly flicking through the channels until one seemed interesting.
I doubt his interest extends that far.
Dementia Donnie should not be running this country.
thank god he didn't watch the rock on hbo
He wasn't watching PBS... so someone else told him to do it after watching it. Probably same person trying to find more reasons to defund PBS.
I'm sure he wasn't even aware of what station was airing the movie. He was flicking through the channels and saw one that was interesting.
Ikr, him watching pbs would be a good onion though
It's like a billion dollar rebuild and a multi million dollar yearly budget, why the fuck would we ever open this shithole ever again.
It lasted like 30 years specifically because sadly corroded the ever loving fuck out of everything and last I heard salt water isn't any less salty then 1969.
Please get this man addicted to Star Trek: The Next Generation.
He would deport Geordi, Whorf and Data for not being white. And probably O'Brian for being Irish.
Whorf
I think I think i read that fanfic back in the 90s.... co-starring Long-Luc Dickhard and Chestly Crushher?
Ha ha irish being white! Whats next, italians? Ha ha ho ho
I genuinely want somebody who thinks this is a good idea to explain to me why this is better than building a new maximum security prison on the mainland.
We all know that he doesn't watch PBS. Too educational.
Not to mention he just cut funding for it
That man has dementia.
