1. Probably by design.

[sdfernando]

2. Electrical lines and water.....

now why couldn't orange felon taco be standing right in the middle of that?

[Easterncedar]

3. With a shark!

[eppur_se_muova]

4. Now pay the contractors MORE money to fix their shitty job of planning and construction !

(Well, technically, it was probably DeSatanist's shitty planning.)

[SergeStorms]

10. Trumpublican contractors....

who paid the necessary tribute to the Kraznov/DeSatan campaigns.

[forgotmylogin]

30. The tents are blocking the runway drainage. n/t

[Deuxcents]

5. This is our rainy season until November 30th and for this week into the weekend, thunder storms.

We typically have afternoon storms but they’re calling for storms until Monday. I assure you, it will be a mess. Our Everglades is a delicate wetlands ecosystem and we rely on it for our water systems that surround the area. Aside from thunderstorms and hurricanes, our Everglades catch fire every year..it’s a necessary and natural part of the ecosystem to regenerate the soil and plant life. So..wildfires in the dry season and floods in the wet season. Been that way since..well, always

[allegorical oracle]

9. Yep -- and that area is, at best, a couple feet above sea level. That's why it's a swamp.

Still haven't heard whether the detention cell part of the camp is air-conditioned or not. The supervisory building(s) must be. Anybody know?

[OMGWTF]

15. I heard that it was not, but that the ICE fkers quarters had A/C.

[littlemissmartypants]

22. The photos show...

Installation of overhead fabric ductwork but only a couple of them look inflated.

[Greg_In_SF]

18. It is

fully air conditioned.

[Hekate]

25. Thanks! Source that there's AC for the prisoners?

[Greg_In_SF]

29. You can see

the ducting in the second photo here: https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/general/gallery-a-look-inside-alligator-alcatraz/ar-AA1HMQvl

...and the AC unit(s) in the third photo here: https://www.winknews.com/news/collier/trump-visits-alligator-alcatraz-as-immigration-center-opens-in-everglades-today/article_2fc32d6a-8b93-4cf5-8d85-7823ef5b2d09.html

[allegorical oracle]

35. Oh that's good news. If there weren't any AC, we were looking at deaths for sure.

Thought I saw generators, but didn't know if they were just for the overseers' quarters. Temps in June to Sept. are extreme in that area. And given that multiple people are stuffed into those tight quarters, it would mean life-threatening heat.

[SergeStorms]

13. The river of grass.

The wildfires in the dry/winter season stink to high heaven. The rainy season (now) raises the water level of the glades because they drain slowly into the sea.
Alligator Auschwitz is a far better name than Alligator Alcatraz.

[dixiegrrrrl]

33. Agree with the Auschwitz name

I see it being used in the some media.

[allegorical oracle]

36. Before canals were carved in that area, there were constant cycles of wildfires and floods.

Can recall as a kid seeing photos/videos of animals drowning and it was really upsetting. This camp is technically not in the Everglades, but is in the Big Cypress National Preserve -- home to a dwindling population of Florida panthers and other species.

It's a deceptively delicate ecosystem. In the 1500s it was home to the Calusa native people. The Miccosukee tribe has done a marvelous job of fighting to maintain the system since the late 1940s and 50s.

[Greg_In_SF]

38. They even have

"Black Panther Crossing" signs on Highway 41

[SergeStorms]

42. And full of invasive species now.

Boa constrictors, tegu lizards, and God knows what else, have taken over. You know, because people needed exotic species for pets!

[sinkingfeeling]

6. Too bad the clown show wasn't standing in the water and an electrical shortage didn't happen.

[LS0999]

7. Imagine if they actually spent money trying to help people

The reich wing always complained about government spending, but there's no limit to spending when it comes to fulfilling their psychopathic racist fantasies. No money for healthcare but plenty of money for concentration camps.

[wnylib]

39. They have zero credibility on their complaints about government deficits when they spend

millions on a military parade birthday party and billions on new prison camps for a supposedly temporary population.

[Greybnk48]

8. Everything tRump does is shoddy and 3rd rate. Apparently, even his illegal executions.

Will this ever end?

[SergeStorms]

16. That leaves more money for kickbacks......

from the Trumpublican contractors who got the contracts. Trump's buildings in Manhattan schooled him in the not-so-fine arts of using "friendly" contractors.
As far as graft and kickbacks go, Florida makes New York City look like a nursery school

[Initech]

11. Everything Trump touches.

[Justice matters.]

12. Cholera will be back.

When the death camp will be filled up, and a host of other contagious diseases.

[dixiegrrrrl]

34. Mosquito borne diseases are plentiful down here. n/t

[OMGWTF]

14. Remember the contractors who electrified the showers in Iraq and US servicemembers were killed?

I fking hate it here.

[niyad]

20. Yes, I remember. Halliburton, or one of its subsidiaries, and darth cheney

was making money from it..

[Hekate]

27. I remember it vividly

[Figarosmom]

17. Looks to me like

There will be an electrical fire before it even opens. I wonder if that canvas is fireproof treated?

[niyad]

21. That would cost money, would it not?

[SoFlaBro]

19. God should drop a Sharknado on that Orange Motherfucker's shitty fuckface.

[littlemissmartypants]

24. I may be unwell.

Because this made me chuckle.

I'm going to ask for forgiveness now.

[SoFlaBro]

28. Happy to give anyone a much-needed chuckle.

[calimary]

31. Hey, it worked for me!

[allegorical oracle]

37. Know how ya feel. I ask forgiveness every day I browse this site. nt

[allegorical oracle]

40. Please include DeSantis in that devastation....

[SoFlaBro]

41. Rhonda ScanPiss wearing his lil' go-go boots looked like a slap fool walking behind Orange Bastard huffing his farts.

26. bif, it's great that you are staying on top of things...

But duplicates are only a direct violation if in the Late Breaking News Forum.

32. God help em if there's a major hurricane

A) They won't evacuate them (or even release them)

B) They ain't coming back to see to them anytime soon.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

43. They are denying access to congresscritters to hide the flooding

[LetMyPeopleVote]

44. The flooding gets higher and higher.

45. OMG

I've been trying to find out how many detainees are there already. One news account said that the first detainees were supposed to land overnight. I still can't believe that anything this dystopian is happening in America.

I posted earlier a link to the Reddit site for people applying to become ICE agents. The pay is very high, and the jobs are plentiful. Young men with nothing going on are flocking to those jobs. In this job market, it might be one of the best paying jobs for men without college degrees. We're creating future monsters.
