The execution of the California Forever proposal has been stupid and horrifying too. There’s are reasons that land hasn’t already been developed: no fresh water supply, WIND, and jets taking off and landing at Travis AFB, among other things.

When are you going to post Sam Steins appearance on Hayes yesterday 05/08 on Bulwark Takes?

Even better than staging a Squid Games type competition is something more akin to Hunger Games. May even issue hunting licenses to potential MAGA tourists. Perfect project for Don Jr. to take on.

Since the Trump Gaza Riviera is looking pretty iffy, this may be the next best thing for the great real estate magnate currently squatting in the White House. Prison Work Camp/Seaside Resort. How could that combination possibly fail?

The naval base at Guantanamo Bay Cuba is dependent on desalinated water and electricity generated on base. The base did install three wind-turbines to lower the reliance on diesel fuel. There is no way to scale water or electricity production without help from Cuba. Cuba want's the US Government gone but the US Government has a forever lease that Cuba has consistently complained about.

Trump is a moron.

I think it's a great idea you Americans can get behind. I'd just like to add a twist to the scheme.

You start by tweaking the rules, so it's not about immigrants slaving away on the gamble of a visa. You change it up so it's MAGA Administration hopefuls slaving away in the hope of a job - starting with the current cabinet officials. Then you adjust for the MAGA faithful but as they are citizens, you'll have to come up with some other reward for victory.

Does the memo address what happens to the immigrants who don’t “prove themselves”? My imagination is running wild thinking about the horrible things Steven Miller would dream up.

My guess, those work camp wash outs never make it off Internment Island. They just stay in Menial Job Barracks till the creator calls.

I wonder why Donny Duffus has become so obsessed with prisons lately? Tick-tock Donny, tick-tock.

Actually Tim, you should look into the history and writing of Jan Sramek. California Forever by another name would be Branch Davidian West.

Big government GOP is the worst!

Sounds like Stephen Miller's wet dream.

I understand the laughter because I laughed too. Then came the mind-blowing tears.

They play duets these days a lot, those laughs and tears, don't they?
