Of course it’s blatant.  And , of course, there will be no repercussions.

Never heard about this! Wow 😮

I had an alcatraz tour last summer.  It didn't impress me as a place where you could put as many inmates as Trump would want to.  Supermax has a better warehousing for inmates capability.  

 

I see per a quick google that the correct name for this federal supermax facility is ADX Florence in Florence, Colorado.

If anyone at DOGE actually knew what they were doing, they could tell DJT that running a prison on an island is a very big waste of money - which is why it's not a prison anymore.

Alcatraz closed in the 60's because it cost three times more to operated than other prisons. What's left of it is over 100 years old. The place would need to be completely rebuilt. 

Trump is the Birdbrain of Alcatraz.

I’ll just preface this post by saying that I really really REALLY hope this is true.

He is such an egomaniacal idiot.

Please do not equate the stupid, ignorant, arrogant drivel that spews from his mouth with anything a person with dementia may say.   There is no equivalence whatsoever.

Trump hasn’t ever been intelligent. Trump hasn’t an educated bone in his body. Trump hasn’t ever done anything with anyone but himself in mind.

He hasn’t “gotten worse”. This is who he has always been, he just now has attention and a platform 24/7. 

Because I am truly older than dirt, I have a very clear remembrance of the day of the Kent State killings. I was in high school, and knew more than a few of those young men who in a year or two (if they didn’t get into college and get a deferment) would be drafted. They were in dread.

The protests in the nation were ramping up, and were,  in large part, organized and attended by the 18-25 year olds.

The absolute horror of seeing national guard members open fire and just shoot into a crowd of unarmed students and/or protestors (not all of them are protesters, a lot of of them were just students walking across campus to their next class) - it took your breath away and felt like a stomach punch.

 It still makes me very queasy… and for sure, I am feeling like we have more of this coming, and I feel like there will be even less hesitation for law enforcement to fire into crowds. I fear for all of us.

Blasphemous

and the effect will be a summer of angry protests and BRUTAL reprisals from Trump’s fascist gang.  

That’s my read on summer 2025 also.

I absolutely hate these elitist pricks.

You’ve got to read this one…. Martial law, baby.  (go to whitehouse.gov website and you could read this executive order.)

What a vindictive little sniveling bitch Trump is.  Small.  Hateful.

Interesting. 🤔

So is John Fisher & the despicable A’s ownership channeling the Bill Veeck that signed Larry Doby…or the Bill Veeck that hired a midget to bat in a MLB game?

I wouldn’t put anything beyond the worst ownership in baseball. 

I just came to remove my post, cause I can’t find affirmation of this anywhere….

I’m sorry. And, I’m bummed. 🙁

edit to add: THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED ANYWHERE, so I’m sorry. Looks like it’s a non-story.

=====•••••••======•••••=====
 

Oakland A’s called up pitcher/outfielder Kelsie Whitmore to their club. She’s the first woman to be part of an MLB roster.

🎉.  I’d love to see her get into a game soon. This news made my day. 🩷

😁

Full on facism.  
 

Just wear the stupid brown shirts, already. We know who/what you are.

I haven’t yet verified this, but if true, I can’t imagine anything more vile. 
This is heartbreaking. 

So, the wife of the “Maryland man” and her kids had to move to a safe house because the White House’s release of the domestic complaint included her address. 

The abject disrespect and cruelty is the point in EVERYTHING they do.
 

Oh, by the way, the FDA suspended milk quality testing yesterday. (Budget cuts)

So, doctors recommendation is that you choose ultra-pasteurized milk instead of regular pasteurized, as that is cooked at higher temperatures so as to kill off more microbes, and have a longer shelf life.

you know, just in case you want to keep your kids and yourself healthy, because the government doesn’t actually wanna be burdened with that anymore.

I’m here to say this for today: I am very pleased to see RFK, Jr. ‘s move today to ban 8 food dyes.

Thumbs up. This should have been pursued & done 20+ years ago.

So, there it is. A positive review for one thing done by someone in this current administration. 

How is Hegseth not fired yet?

I’m just sitting here reading stories regarding his bull**** answers….and how glaringly ridiculous it is that he’s in charge of the department of defense.
 

What the ****? what the actual ****.

He’s trying to make himself the mini-Jesus. Comparing his prosecution to his God Trump‘s persecution.

my God . this whole administration is so beyond the pale. Where do we even begin?

I don’t know about a Catholics purge, other than to the degree they could use it as a way to wipe out Latinos. But the vice president himself is Catholic; six of the nine SCJs are Catholic, including five of the six conservatives; and a new kind of retrograde Catholic-infused political ideology that aligns really strongly with MAGA has really come to the fore. Catholics may never be truly embraced as a full brother-in-arms by the hardcore evangelical red hats and MAGA leadership, but I’m having a hard time envisioning them lumping Catholics in with Muslims, Jews, atheists, and anyone else they might try to genocide off the planet during the late stages of MAGA rule. I’d be surprised if MTG’s bid to amp up hate against Catholics gain any traction here. She might be getting talking points from the Kremlin on this one.

Chas, I think it’s possible because there are “regular, grew up in the 50’s,60’s, 70’s” Catholics, and then there are the new right-wing leading Catholics who want to revisit Latin masses, etc. , and who would absolutely throw their liberal leaning Catholic community right under the bus..

Then add that faction to the southern Protestants who have never actually stopped hating the papists. 😁

Yeah.

Possible… not willing to say it’s probable just yet. But possible.
