when this is over, could we use this to house all the ICE thugs and MAGA politicians?

This is all the right hand puppet's fault. I prefer the left hand puppet.
Simpsons predicts the future again
I prefer a completely different puppeteer with a better selection of more reasonable, compassionate puppets.
If you wanna see how “great” a society is just look at how they treat their prisoners and the animals they eat.

So many fake Christian’s are going to burn in hell. I’m here for that tea.
Unfortunately hell is a mind construct and they are most likely to just be gone after death with no punishment whatsoever.
That's the one thing perhaps that's sad about religion being made up by humans instead of being something real

Or they would if it was real.

Unfortunately, religion is wide enough for interpretation, that one can use it to justify all kinds of horrid things in the name of it.

Without early warning systems, they’ll be hit by an ‘unexpected’ hurricane soon enough. The rising floodwaters will penetrate the cells more easily this way.
That is an interesting point, but they'll just leave prisoners in the cells to die like they did in Katrina.

These fucking things are held together with zip ties. Jesus Christ. It's both evil and at the same time incompetent.
There are rednecks with guns hoping for an excuse. So it's just plain evil.

Is there any air conditioning in these units??? Jesus fucking Christ it’s the Florida’s Everglades. They are trying to kill people through heat exhaustion
They are trying to kill people through heat exhaustion
That's a risk they're willing to take (with other people's lives)
Do they have to give some fucking stupid name to everything like some 5 year olds? I can't stand we have the shittiest, dumbest people in charge.
I'm pretty sure it's light-weight psyops. Gitmo got a cutesy name as well. Anyone not directly part of the silly walks ministerium doesn't give a nickname to something so serious.
Its a psyop to make media choose for fake ai, high click rate images Rather then real pictures:
3 ai pictures used by “news” sites:
Real picture below for comparison, shows the people who made the above do know what the tents look like.
Also its “build on a runway”, makes you “think” they are using it as temporary place before being deported by plane but no the tents are build ON the runway
You are honestly overcomplicating it. It's not a psyop, it's marketing and PR. Evil is terribly banal; it doesn't take mustache-twirling villains, only average people who are willing to do whatever they need to do to avoid being in trouble themselves.
They need "Alligator Alcatraz" because Republicans figured out 25 years ago that a catchy name goes farther than anything more serious. It is why "Obamacare" is still reviled to this day, despite near unanimous support for the ACA. Nancy Pelosi shutting down Walz for his "weird" label was perhaps the biggest unforced error in political history.

I mean, Alligator Auschwitz would probably be more apt anyway.
I wonder which members of the GOP personally profited from these being built.
The fucking mosquitoes. Cruel and unusual.
Hey whatever happened to cruel and unusual anyway???

Yeah for being in the Florida Everglades that doesn't even look air conditioned. Cages aside.
How often will they let alligators roam? Really dark times we're in. I can't believe how much I took for granted.
