I cannot think of a worse place to be than in the Everglades in the Summer.

[MineralMan]

So, I wonder what it will be like to work there. If you have a mass incarceration facility, you need a large staff to just do the basics. Those jobs will definitely not be desirable ones, at any pay level. So, how do they get people to show up and work there?

Imagine, if you will, the hottest, stickiest summer day you've ever experienced. Well, that's what it will be like every day this summer at the Donald J. Trump Alligator Concentration Camp. Who is going to work there? I can't even imagine...

[S/V Loner]

1. Guess they'll hire immigrants. N/T

[Be The Light]

30. Lol

[Sogo]

2. Donald will rely on the alligators and pythons to be the guards.

[Tommy Carcetti]

3. I actually heard they'll have nice houses.

Gardens and everything.

Maybe even a housekeeper or two.



(IYKYK...)

[Silent Type]

4. Definitely, nothing worse than tropical Florida. I bet they never get staffed up,

and the facility is more for show than anything. They are counting of some immigrants missing a paper or two just going home.

[SergeStorms]

5. With disease carrying mosquitoes.....

the size of hummingbirds driving you absolutely mad 24/7.

Wish you were there, Mango Mussolini.

[Sogo]

7. The other day when he was there, he stopped, looked at the cages, and said,

"This is where Biden wanted me to be. The son of a b...."

[SergeStorms]

24. Leavenworth would have been fine.

Alligator Auschwitz isn't fit for any human being.

[Hekate]

28. Lying projection, as usual

[House of Roberts]

6. They couldn't think of a worse place either,

else they would have put it there instead.
Maybe the next one will go in Death Valley...

[Srkdqltr]

8. I know this is Trump, but these folks need to be deported to their home country not warehoused.

Not saying they should be either because they should not, but this warehousing is stupid.
As i said, it is Trump.

[Hekate]

27. This is designed for death, frankly

It’s intentional

[The Blue Flower]

9. There is no worse place

I grew up in Orlando without a/c. A lifelong friend lives on the edge of Lake Okeechobee. She and her husband built a home in the mountains of North Carolina just to get away from the heat in the summer. It's hard to breathe, hard to move, impossible to sleep. Ever see a flying cockroach--what locals call palmetto bugs? How about clouds of biting gnats or bugs so tiny, we called them 'no see 'ums'? How fast will diseases spread among people jammed together in the heat? This is a plan for mass murder.

[Ritabert]

10. The mosquitoes in south Florida can carry you off.

[mitch96]

12. The ones in Alaska are bigger. Twin engines and retractable landing gear big.. But they are stupid. easy to swat..nt

[Ritabert]

14. I had heard that. It's the only state I haven't visited.

[The Blue Flower]

15. Or run you off

They're a pestilence.

[Ritabert]

20. Brutal.

We didn't go out before sunrise or after sunset.

[Conjuay]

22. Another thing not being mentioned..

Florida 'summer' is easily twice the length of summer in much of the rest of country.
May is already surprisingly hot, and it continues like that through mid October.
I live in Central FL, and was still surprised at the intensity of the heat and humidity when I visited the Everglades.

[Hekate]

25. It's a Death Camp in the making

[Greg_In_SF]

32. At least

the tents are air conditioned I guess.

11. I recall driving US-41 from Naples to Miami on a hot, muggy Florida summer evening. The Tamiami Trail cuts

right through the heart of the Everglades. Feeling the urge, I pulled onto the shoulder, got out of my car, walked about 50 feet to the nearest tree and began urinating. While relieving myself, a massive swarm of mosquitoes descended on my legs, arms, neck and face. Horrified, I made a dash back to the car, pissing myself while I ran, slapping at my arms, legs and face, jumped in and sped away. I was scratching at all the red welts for days. Everglades skeeters are voracious bloodsuckers.

[PatSeg]

18. Oh yes, it is a horrible place

I've seen insects unlike anything I even knew existed and HUGE. Of course, the mosquitoes are the worst. It is one place I had no desire to visit again.

[dalton99a]

21. +1. Republican wants to name part of U.S. Highway 41 the 'Gulf of America Trail.'

[mitch96]

13. Been there, done that and totally agree with you... nt

[peggysue2]

16. I agree, MM

I'm also convinced the location was chosen for exactly those reasons.

Where can we build a Prison in Hell? Oh yeah, the Everglades!

The heat, the humidity, the alligators (Trump's favorite), the mosquitoes, the sheer exhaustion the climate produces is the grand winner for . . .

Cruelty and shortened lives.

The photo-op of Trump, DeSantis and Noem laughing in front of the open-air cages says it all.

They can't wait for the death drums to begin.

[PatSeg]

19. They are relishing the cruelty

Such monsters. Like the villains in a bad B movie.

[dalton99a]

23. .

[Hekate]

26. Three monsters yukking it up at the Concentration Camp/Death Camp

[Mz Pip]

17. That's the point

Make people suffer for wanting to live in the US. How dare they?

[sop]

29. The immigrants being detained in death camps are not criminals or dangerous gang members.

Most were arrested at their jobs, or at scheduled immigration hearings while trying to comply with the law. They are not freeloaders, living off welfare and collecting benefits; they work, pay taxes and contribute to the economy. Violations of immigration law are generally civil matters, leading to deportation, not the sort of punishment being meted out at Trump's swamp prison.

31. I spent a summer in the Army at Fort Gordan in Augusta back before

air conditioning. Every day 90s and unbearable humidity. Then you add in being in the
middle of nowhere in a tent on a concrete slab surrounded by snakes and alligators. I
wouldn't wish that on anyone. Although the alternative Vietnam was worse.

[GoCubsGo]

33. Having to sit next to fucking Dementia J. Trump would be infinitely worse.

For even a few minutes. The stench would be overwhelming. And, say that as someone who worked for years in swamps with much the same conditions as the Everglades.
