I just visited Alcatraz for the first time last summer, so this hits close to home.

I also imagine it would be more cost effective to renovate and expand a 175 year old stone prison built on a rock in the middle of a bay in the most expensive city in America than it would be to (for instance) expand some federal prison in Bumfuck, Mississippi.

I don't know if Angola in Louisiana is federal, but it certainly checks the bumfuck and Mississippi area boxes.

Should've listened to me and went to San Diego like I told you to.  - Immamac. 

Watched the 60 Minutes clip on The Rule of Law also and just incredible, frightening stuff. Praise all glory to be to Marc Elias and the like standing up the PAB.

It's the WHOLE FUCKING OATH.

Also to address later insanity.  Does this dipshit realize at its height Alcatraz housed 312 inmates.  I was there last summer, it's small.

Dude, he said it would be substantially enlarged!

From this day on, the official language of the United States will be Swedish. In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now... 16 years old!

I know the “imagine if Biden/Obama did this” is evergreen but the GOP would never shut up about literally paying tax dollars to “illegals” to visit home

Seems like the offering the $1000 + free flight is the smartest most sensible and logical thing to come out of the DOTARDs regarding immigration ever that it sounds almost like a Democrat strategy. Undoubtedly it costs more than $1500 or whatever, by mulitples, to expend the manpower and effort to deport people. I'm reminded of when companies take voluntary retirement and severence before laying people off because it's cheaper.

I'd like to see a reporter bring up baseball bats and gloves for boys. While there are still company HQ in the US, some of the larger companies manufacture overseas. Marucci (save wooden bats) are produced in China as is Easton. Some companies like Wilson and Rawlings claim they manufacture all gloves in the US and some internet sources say that as well, a company rep for Rawlings admitted it's Taiwan. While having 37 bats (vs 37 dolls) is highly unlikely, a bat is much more expensive....

Or shoes. Children outgrow shoes at a great rate and wearing flip flops in winter may be a Texas thing, but that's frostbite in South Dakota.

Only Nokona manufactures in the US. All the others are made in China, Indonesia, Vietnam.

Japan has a large glove market now as well with a lot of new brands keeping all their manufacturing there.

Preaching to the choir.  But it's the wrong choir.
His choir wants the symbol of a gulag.  And would be so delicious in the heart of wokeness.
The sad thing is he could make his gulag in a place that destroys so much more.
Mindfulness is tough in the age of the Dotard.


Every day is something new and worse. There can never be calm else past actions will be scrutinized.

Trump’s business conflicts ‘worst since there were slave owners in the White House’

US president has ‘terrible’ financial conflict of interest, warns former chief White House ethics lawyer

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/05/05/trumps-business-conflicts-worst-since-slave-owners/

Gotta love this lede: 

Quote

Donald Trump’s conflicts of interest are the worst since there were slave owners in the White House, a former presidential ethics adviser has said.

Richard Painter, who was chief White House ethics lawyer from 2005-2007, said Mr Trump’s business empire – spanning hotels, real estate, crypto currency and social media – meant he was more compromised than any president in post-Civil War history.

Mr Painter, who served under President George W. Bush, told The Telegraph: “The financial conflicts of interest of the president himself are unprecedented in our country, at least since the Civil War.

“Some of our earlier presidents had financial conflicts of interests with plantations, but not since then, until Donald Trump came along.”

At least 13 presidents owned slaves at some point during their lifetimes, according to the White House Historical Association, including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

Mr Trump’s conflicts of interests are even worse than during his first term, Mr Painter added.

The president’s business empire has expanded beyond hotels and golf clubs to include the cryptocurrency venture World Liberty Financial – which the Trump family has a majority holding in – and the social media site Truth Social.

Last week World Liberty Financial announced that a fund backed by Abu Dhabi was planning to make a $2bn (£1.5bn) transaction using one of its digital currencies, in a move that is expected to generate revenues for the Trump family.

The deal comes less than two weeks before Mr Trump’s state visit to the Middle East – which will see him travel to the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

The Trump Organisation, which is managed by Eric Trump, also recently announced a deal to build the first Trump real estate project in Qatar with Qatari Diar, which is owned by the Qatari government, and Saudi Arabian development company Dar Global.

Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, also has extensive business dealings in the Middle East.

Mr Kushner’s investment company Affinity Partners received $2bn of initial investment from Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund in its early stages and then secured more than $1.5bn from the UAE and Qatar last year.

‘Type of corruption’

Mr Painter, who is a professor of law at the University of Minnesota, said: “I can’t prove that they’re going to influence the President’s decisions, but you can tell that he sees those that do business with him as his friends, that’s just the way it is. But it looks terrible.

“It looks like the way you are going to conduct diplomacy with Donald Trump is by doing business with his family. This idea of your family cutting deals while you’re on a diplomatic mission, it makes it look like everybody’s on the take.”

Under what is known as the “emoluments clause” in the US constitution, any person holding government office must not accept any emolument (a fee or profit) or gift from a sovereign state without congressional approval. However, the rule does not extend to family members.

Mr Painter said: “It’s a workaround of the emoluments clause, it is a type of corruption the founders of our country did not want and it looks terrible.”

He also criticised former president Joe Biden for setting a precedent by allowing his son, Hunter Biden, to take a role on the board of one of Ukraine’s largest gas companies.

The Trump family’s involvement in crypto also mean they stand to benefit from Mr Trump’s policies on digital currencies.

The Senate is preparing to pass Mr Trump’s Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins (Genius) Act, governing how some cryptocurrency will be used.

Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren called the Genius Act a “greenlight the grift”.

In a video posted on X, Ms Warren said: “This is a bill that will make it even easier for the President and his family to profit off their own stable coin.”

Mr Trump has denied that he has any conflicts of interest because he has resigned from his roles in his businesses and has handed over management to his children.

A White House spokesman said: “President Trump’s assets are in a trust managed by his children. There are no conflicts of interest.”

World Liberty Financial, the Trump Organisation and Affinity Partners were contacted for a comment.

Welp. Time to protest. 

It won't.

Fucking.

Matter.

 

Just know that going in.  Protest, make noise, call your congressman, do whatever.  None of it will matter.  Trump could propose to burn the actual National Archives copies of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence in the middle of Yellowstone as he strikes the park with a high-yield nuke.....and nothing and nobody will stop him.

 

We're getting very close to the point where we're going to have to make some existential choices as a society.
