Yeah, they plan on housing tens of thousands of people at a black site on foreign soil. If they were illegals, they'd be deporting them, so who are they planning on keeping here, and why?

Also, I've been tracking this development since he first signed the executive order for it several months ago, but I've never heard a single journalist in any media mention it, or ask any member of the administration about it. Most Americans aren't aware of this in the slightest, and the media is helping keep it that way.

This is MAGA. Incompetence is their brand. I doubt they can make any of that happen efficiently.

Besides, just forcing them to jump through all those hoops on every applicant is already a win.

And drag out the interview, ask lots of questions, repeat questions, never make a move to leave until they order you to. Eat up the interview time of several applicants.

No, it's not. Even if they catch on to it, and start working harder to weed out applicants, it will have caused a bottleneck in their system that will slow them down. And piss them off.

Brown shirts are so mid-20th century. Here in the future, Red Hats are where it's at!

Plus Red Hat spelled sideways is Hatred, sort of.

Looks like ICE is reading this thread.

Speaking of that, I've been saying that the Democrats should officially retire the term Republican Party. Hold press conferences, release press releases, etc. the Republican Party abandoned it's long held principals, and have evolved into the MAGA Party. From now on, all Democratic statements and material will not acknowledge the Republican Party, because they ceased to exist. It is now officially the MAGA Party. And then make all their members adhere to that rule in all statement, interviews, etc. No exceptions, except when discussing history.

It will make the Republicans crazy, and take away their ability to claim that they are the "Party of Lincoln." They are officially the MAGA Party, whether they like it or not.

Have you heard the latest in the Diddy trial?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 7 points 15 hours ago (4 children)

They have already awarded a $250 million contract to build a 30,000 bed facility in Guantanamo.

For context Guantanamo currently houses up to about 250 people. The average maximum security prison hold 800-1200. The largest prison, in Angola, LA, holds about 8300. So the new prison in Guantanamo will hold almost 4 times as many as the largest prison, which is already several times larger than average.

This facility will be on foreign soil (Cuba!), far away from the prying eyes of the media, the courts, lawyers, protesters, family, etc. who do they plan on putting there, and for what crimes?

I'm an old musician, who remembers the role that musicians played in the Vietnam War Resistance. The current population music industry would never allow their artists to be so openly resistant today.

So I've been looking for music to revive, and create a soundtrack for the growing resistance. This might be a good one.

It's also time to revive all those good old protest folk songs by Woody Guthrie and the like. Songs like This Land Is Your Land.

What, me worry?

Valid point. I added the word [just] to my post to clarify.
