Something to waste time discussing that is not devoted to more important things…
This is like something an uninformed kid would say. “Ooh! A scary-sounding prison on an island! Yeah, let’s fix that up and use it for real!”
Are we going to send VX gas?
“They’re trying to build a prison!”
“For you and me to live in!”
“They’re trying to build a prison!”
“FOR YOU AND ME!”
This prison was made for you and me 🎶
And which private jail company is he going to immediately sell it to?
jail companies are such a fucked up concept…
Without a doubt, they are - but we also know that everything this guy does is to benefit a company one of his patrons owns.
absolutely…
Paxton, don’t argue!
You’re all missing the point here:
California isn’t giving proper respect, they have to be taught a lesson.
So, end the global film industry, put a nightmare prison right in sf bay, and just gradually make it clear they can’t ignore Trump and pretend he doesn’t exist.
Sounds good to be flooded with fewer American films and series at least.
Moron cunt.
“Can’t stop, won’t stop”
Things that won’t happen.
The salt from the ocean has corroded the bars, a good kick likely would open the windows. To secure the place would take years of rework or just outright tear down and rebuild.
The place hasn’t had proper upkeep since the late 1960s and honestly very likely before then too. It wouldn’t serve to secure anyone that various places out in the Midwestern desert regions wouldn’t do multiple times better.
Also, you can’t build prisons on national parks.
Lol
Why? Cause it is against the law?
You think they won’t give out a contract worth tens of millions to update a math balled prison to someone they know?
This is America.
millions
B
I think your “b” broke and fell over backwards, but I brought you a new one.
Pretty sure that’s the entire point of this whole thing. Give an insanely overbid contract to someone who will then launder back a sizable portion of it in campaign donations or crypto meme coin purchases. Continue grift until the money runs out.
The strength of the bars was never Alcatraz’s selling point. It’s the location.
Well the bars kind of need to have a particular bit of strength to prevent prisoners from taking over the place.
This is still about the location, but not in the way you’d expect. It’s near Hollywood so movies were made about it and it’s the next most notorious American prison after Guantanamo that Trump has heard of. I guarantee this is his Plan B after Guantanamo didn’t work out.
The prison camp isn’t where they want to hold them. It’s the Guantanamo Bay’s Migrant Operations Center where they want to hold them. It suffers the same issues at Alcatraz, so either way they want to slice the bread here, they have to go through a set of hoops to get it to any kind of position to hold long term prisoners.
Alcatraz is a derelict. Getting it up to a functioning prison standard would almost assuredly take knocking it down with heavy equipment and starting over from zero. You could probably, unironically, finish high speed rail for the same time and financial cost, but then you couldn’t try to impress people by showing everyone that you’re the world’s only banana republic dictator with no drip.
Make rail drip again
You’re assuming Trump cares if it’s up to code. He doesn’t
I’m not sure if you took my meaning. Alcatraz is inoperable. If we moved to cars as a metaphor, we’re not talking about “it can’t pass smog”, we’re talking about “Boomer’s fixer upper that’s been untouched in the front yard for forty years and is basically unusable as even scrap metal”.
Alcatraz was originally closed because it was extraordinarily expensive to run and it wasn’t very useful given the alternatives.

For his political enemies?
Fucking LOL. He obviously has never been there.
As long as we put him in it I’m fine with that
Wasn’t one alleged point of DOGE was to reduce government waste? Alcatraz was closed due to it being a ridiculously expensive prison. Much more than any other prison at the time.
It was this, not the famous escape of 1963 that caused it to close.
