As late as the day before Donald Jackass Trump returned to enshittify America on January 20, if you had described the events of the last five days in the Senate to me, I would have said it was certainly possible that such things could happen, but that it mark the moment we Hit Bottom, that there was nothing worse the MAGA motherfuckers could do than pass such a bill.
I'm hoping that this "Alligator Alcatraz" concentration Camp gets totally washed away by a storm or hurricane before they put anybody in it. If there are any people put in it, there will be many deaths by roasting in the heat, drowning in storm, snakebite, etc.
Well, maybe they won't be quite baked, I now see that there are pictures of A/C units hooked to the tents. However, we'll see... But it's amazing that there are no facilities of any kind in the cages inside the tents, toilet and bathing facilities are in separate trailers. How often are they going to unlock a cage to let someone use those facilities?
As a Floriduh resident it outrages me that our Governor’s using Florida’s version of FEMA to build Alligator Auschwitz. And he’s already planning another one near Jacksonville.
Considering 47 has cut funding for national FEMA, this is going to be an absolute disaster when the next hurricane hits. BTW our Lege has not addressed the property insurance crisis, and Citizens is dropping policies like crazy. Time to clean house in Tally.
I just can't believe how anyone could live a day in those conditions. I can't believe that there is A/C. Are they planning on feeding them. What about bathrooms. Sanitation! These people need charged with cruel and inhumane treatment if they really go ahead with this and there is one sick person or death. I can't believe we have people this evil in our country.
Reading your bass drum prose is cathartic for me. I hold my language because I have photos of family all over the place. What this so-called government is doing on purpose is despicable. The US has made many, many mistakes and has slid into many troughs of indecency throughout our history, but this one seems almost comparable to the sadistic days of lynching raids that took place mostly in the dark of night. This new breed seeks the spotlight because there are no vestiges of shame among them. These people lack all introspection and are more humanoid than human. At least those who will be imprisoned there, no matter their crimes, will have a shot at redemption. Not so with their captors and detainers.
Wish it weren’t so but the churches reinforce the Fox idiocy. Hence, the self-righteous dumbed down. Hatred sells and I’m not buying. Nor would the Jesus of the Gospels.
I watched a show called The Final Accounting, which was interviews with old still-alive nazis. Some doing actual work to prevent it from happening again, some still living in their hate filled universe. One still-nazi said that we should have just deported the Jews, and that exterminating them was what got them all in trouble. Another told a story about how after he was captured, an American soldier walked up to one of his comrades and told him he wanted to shake his hand, and did. That tells you that nazi scum were alive and well back then, even though they were in an army fighting nazis. It was chilling to say the least.
Holly Schitt. I wish we had a way to shine light on abject stupidity and hatred of others. Those who died in the war were pissed on by any soldier who would do such a thing.
A local contractor has been assisting with the construction of the concentration camp. U. S. Tent Rental here in Sarasota has turned off their phones because of the level of protest calls coming in. They're also being picketed as well. Sarasota had become an unwitting base for many of the worst of the Trump circle, so it's heartening to see the level of resistance here.
Disgusting and thank you for using all the profanity appropriate to this obscene moment. This morning I finished reading ThePolitics of Jesus, by Obery M. Hendricks, Jr. which I highly recommend. I quote Hendricks here:
“Consider this statement from a well-known politician:
‘The national government will maintain and defend the foundations on which the power of our nation rests. It will offer strong protection to Christianity as the basis of our collective morality…We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit…in short, we want to burn out the poison of the immorality that has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of liberal excess during recent years.” That politician was Adolf Hitler.
Stephen HateAll Miller and Don Old Grump are literally the "worst of the worst and the most heinous of the most heinous." 5 years ago they planned a takeover of the government, an attack on the Capitol and the police defending it, with a false elector scheme to make Don Old Grump the winner of an election. Don Old pardoned all of the 1500 people who were found guilty in trials with juries of their peers. Many of those people are now masked and carrying weapons, taking students, women with children, legal immigrants and whole families into custody. No paperwork, no trials and calling them illegal aliens. A person sitting in an immigration office for a check-in is not an illegal alien. A senator was wrestled to the floor when he tried to ask a question. This is the not the behavior of people who believe in democracy. They are the greediest of the greedy and the meanest of the mean. They have no sense of decency. The House Democrats will be working to sink the big nasty bill. Congressman Maxwell Frost spoke to Jen Psaki this morning on MSNBC. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO WATCH IF YOU ARE FEELING HOPELESS. Contact your reps and remind them how they ran for their lives on January 6. This bill needs to sink into the swamp it came from. 202-224-3121. capitol hill switchboard. 🤡💩🎃
Even Google's AI doesn't think a tent can survive a Cat 2 Hurricane. Of course, Alcatraz sits ABOVE the water. But what's a fact when catchy alliteration is available?
You are so right. The Nazis had the brains to try to camouflage their actions. They knew the world would not be fooled and opposition would be fierce. They fear no such opposition here because they have Fox to rewrite the script for any but the most depraved. I will repost two pages on Blue Sky which explains the thought processes of a “lesser perp,” back in Nazi land. Now it is in my mind forever. Chilled me to the bone years ago.
You are also right that there is no dialogue with the believers. Why my brother is estranged from me, as are other family members. A grief as deep as a death.
My heart is aching. The orange felon and all his companions have no moral compass, not a shred of decency, but are hollowed out humans filled with anger and hatred. I am furious and heartbroken.

Meant "Alligator Auschwitz"
"Alligator Auschwitz" - I think that's a better name for it.
Stealing that one - thanks!
Wonderful, I’m appropriating it, too!
Waiting for them to post a sign over the gate: El trabajo te hace libre.
Wouldn't surprise me!

I am so glad somebody else wants to rain (pun intended) vengeance onto all these worthless sacks of air.
Not "Alligator Alcatraz." Call it what it is -- "Alligator Auschwitz."
Needs to be repeated ad nauseam.

You are right TC these republicans are irredeemable we need to flush them out.

Defeat this gang of goons we must. Now.
Wow. I thought that was a current statement by some Magat congressperson until I read to the end.

Trump will redirect the hurricanes with his sharpie.

Some strong words and a little Russian dissident poetry that helped me a little today. Maybe it will help you too.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable hurricane. FEMA won't help them.
