Trump and Desantis should kiss some Putin ass and get a Siberian location for it. These sadistic Republicans wish they could use ICE to round up Democrats and I won't really be surprised when those sick bastards actually do it!

Someone somewhere will make a lot of money on this. They saw how much it costs the government to send folks to Gitmo, and have promised a 20% reduction in cost...

it's next to the everglades.

"you people" just want to conjure up the image of the deep 'glades" and let the other stooges think the criminals will be walking and working in the gator swamps.

"1,000+ beds."

Why are we giving violent criminals free room and board at taxpayer expense?

What's gained by sending them from the USA to Florida, USA?

Republicans?

He's not pretending.

He would give every liberal a free helicopter ride, if Trump says it's okay.

That's just how much he loves his Country and his President.
