Alcatraz was a ridiculously expensive prison. That is why it closed down. Meanwhile as a museum it is actually generating millions of dollars every year in revenue.
The good thing about this is that everyone who saw the rock movie knows the timing for the boiler room doors so they can easily escape
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!
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.
watches a movie about the most famous prison escape ever
thinks it would be good to open said prison
which is not based on real events but dumnald is so stupid he cannot tell the difference
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.
But it is a typical Trump deal, selling vibes of "doing it the rough old way, with guns and hookers and lead paint and gasoline that makes your windows rainbow-colored".
That's what he sells. His fans know it's not achievable, they want a mess sufficient for something better to evolve, and vibes for them signify that mess. It's a bit like Shadow ideology in Babylon V.
I bet he plans on charging rent to the prisoners at California rates or some bullshit
Yes...?
It was literally NEVER about the money being spent by the government. Anyone who actually believed that is by dictionary definition, dumb.
Nobody in the trump regime is ever going to prison because you wont elect me president..I, the only candidate who would actually guillotine traitors, imprison their cucks, and take all the wealth from criminally active billionaires and their labbyists, and cap wealth accumulation.
PBS should air Star Trek 24/7 then. The TNG/DS9/VOY preferably.
😬 pretty easy to side with the Cardassians for someone like Trump...
trump would probably claim the wormhole as the 51st state and claim he's friends with the jem'hadar
pbs should air all the presidents men 24/7
There's just no way he watches PBS documentaries
It's a Clint Eastwood movie, not a documentary.
There's just no way he watches PBS ~~documentaries~~
Ftfy
Not a documentary.
Trump announces a new King's decree that toilets shall now be 75% larger after trying to fit his fat fucking ass on a regular toilet.
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.
Ikr, him watching pbs would be a good onion though
See, I don't know. He's been posting about cutting funding, so I could see him turning it on expecting to see a bunch of queers making out with ostriches or whatever the fuck he thinks goes on at PBS but instead got an idea. Which is kind of sweet, if you think about it. That's so PBS, they can't help but educate even if the viewer is a fascist penis wrinkle.
Aww, how cute, he wants to choose the prison he will rot in while awaiting his execution.
Consider how stupid Donald Trump is, then consider how stupid one would have to be to vote for him, then consider that those people are all around you, all the time.
He doesn't want it rebuilt or modernized in any way. The more medieval the better. A spot to dump undesirables and forget them.
Unrelated but his stupid ass grin pmo so fucking much. Like Nigel Farage's but worse.
He watches PBS?
Alzheimers in full bloom.
Spiced up with malignant narcissism.
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.
More ways to increase suffering
Stop letting this man watch television.
Let him watch all the television he wants. Stop letting him interact with people and things.
He really is a profoundly stupid man. Everyone who supports him should be ashamed of themselves.
He better not be watching PBS. Not only did he not donate, like viewers like me, he is cutting their federal funding!
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.
When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals
I don't know, SOAD radicalized me when I was a teenager and I would say that this is bullshit from a criminological point of view.
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.
