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.

He didn't announce it reopening, he said he wanted it to be reopened. Shit headline.

I propose a movie about dinosaurs released in San Diego.

We all know that he doesn't watch PBS. Too educational.

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?

OK, now that's pretty funny.

Dementia Donnie should not be running this country.

He doesn't even know how to operate his sphincters.

[–] SarcasticMan@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

This just reinforces my theory that he saw Canadian Bacon at some point last summer.

I bet we can tie a lot of his actions to the boob tube schedule

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago

In the first admin it was clear he was watching Fox by reading his tweets and comparing.
