It is the economy, but we should be ok.

The obvious treason, rape, bigotry and racism is more of a problem for me.

Actually, the rape is worse than all the other stuff. We know what you are Donald. It cannot be hidden. Starting a war to hide your pedophilia, and killing thousands?

Levinworth. Now.

Leavenworth, but I’m leaning towards Alcatraz. They only have to renovate one room.

Was that just talk, or are they really doing renovations?

Right. Never been there 😎

It’s talk so far. They made a show of taking it seriously, enough that a couple of officials toured the site last July, but I don’t think it has gone much past Trump talking about it.

Tours of Alcatraz are extremely popular. The annual income the National Park Service gets from Alcatraz tourism is a net gain and converting back to a prison, which would cost money to run would be a net loss…

Oh, geez, what am I saying? National park! Trump hates those and is doing his level best to ruin them. Alcatraz being a park is a reason **for** destroying it in its current form, in his mind, regardless of whether that makes any sense, fiscal or otherwise.

I found this article when trying to find out if any real progress has been made on turning Alcatraz back into a functioning prison.

I thought it was very interesting.

Why not both? I’d pay to view Trump in prison.

I think Alligator Alcatraz is a good option for him.

I can not tell you how badly I want someone to punch him in his fat mouth the next time he calls a female stupid or piggy. How low we have fallen that we put up with this.  
It feels like la la land.

Not Leavenworth. (I don’t want that asshole living 30 miles from me!) Not Alcatraz. Ship him off to Gitmo. Isn’t that where we keep all the other terrorists who are too dangerous to be on American soil?
