And that’s basically it!
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.
PBS should air Star Trek 24/7 then. The TNG/DS9/VOY preferably.
😬 pretty easy to side with the Cardassians for someone like Trump...
Ok, so we take out DS9. But TNG on repeat for sure.
The monkey paw will curl, damn :(
By executive order Section 31 is formed. CIA director raises eyebrow in contempt.
Alzheimers in full bloom.
He better not be watching PBS. Not only did he not donate, like viewers like me, he is cutting their federal funding!
And yet Americans elected this man for a second term, by popular vote this time. He's not the only genius there.
Every accusation is a projection.
2020 election denial is now a high school standard in Oklahoma btw.
As in "Trump's been president since 2016" or as in "2020 elections were robbed in favor of candidate Biden"?
The later. Also there’s some COVID lab leak conspiracy shit.
These weren’t the standards that were presented to the public or teachers to review - they were swapped out at the last second from reasonable versions:
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.
Is he reopening Jurassic Park? 🤭
I propose a movie about dinosaurs released in San Diego.
Or the movie about "the bus that couldn't stop"
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.
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
Beachside property after all. Rockside.
Actually would be a cool idea, make there a combined prison-museum with luxury cells like the one Brejvik spends his time in. If it goes together with a prison reform to in general make American prisons more like Norwegian ones, would be cool.
I mean, inmates shouldn't pay for that, I just caught a thought.
It's more interesting after all, inmates can talk to tourists and not feel too isolated, but live in more comfortable conditions than their historical colleagues, and you still have a profitable museum.
Sort of a prison entertainment park. On an island. One can even have a small computing history museum with an IRIX machine there, next to a few dinosaur pics.
Somebody needs to just wave something shiny in front of him to distract him from this stupid idea.
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!
Sundowning…
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.
Well yes but it has a cool sounding name
Simple solution.
Rename another prison alcatraz and tell Trump it's up and running.
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.
Inbreeding is more likely to produce offspring, but also more likely to produce offspring with genetic defects, and marrying someone very genetically different is less likely to produce offspring, but dangers are fewer.
I mean, provided you can't find a neanderthal to marry today, the latter concern is not too important.
So both are not too bad, fertility is important sometimes. It's the natural regulation of population.
BTW, about diversity and all that ... it's good, but triggers the psychological and biological mechanisms (EDIT: reducing fertility) in the parts of population smart enough to be diverse.
So nature also regulates such disturbances. Like the Force in Star Wars. Humanity works the way that if smartasses become too smart, dumbasses would have their asses so it would all cancel out to a more even distribution.
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.
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.
Stop letting this man watch television.
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 same PBS he wants to cut ahahaha
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.
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.
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.
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?
