Originally published at: DeSantis And Trump Bury Hatchet To Join Hands On Sick Immigrant Detainees Stunt
It is difficult to find any recent photos of President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis together. That’s because the two of them have largely been at odds since DeSantis tried to test his MAGA bonafides and was utterly humiliated by Trump on the national stage during the 2024 Republican presidential primaries. Trump has made…

Sorry, I don’t have a cat.
Perhaps the idea behind Alligator Alley is to give all the detainees Dengue fever prior to export.
I wonder how long it will take before Florida’s agriculture industry is impacted by the deportations. Will the cost of your tasteless tomatoes go up or will they just disappear altogether?

Fuck them. May they both die. In pain. Soon.

The state of Florida will pay to run the facility and the federal government will reimburse Florida with FEMA funds that are typically used to house people displaced by natural disasters.
Sounds appropriate, since the Trump maladministration is, in fact, a natural disaster. I think of it as akin to a volcanic eruption that darkens the skies across the globe.

In other news:
The Trump administration has sued the city of Los Angeles over its immigration policies, claiming that the city’s law discriminates against federal law enforcement by treating them differently from other law enforcement authorities.
NBC News
And the Garcia case:
The Trump administration has agreed to release from prison a three-time felon who drunkenly fired shots in a Texas community and spare him from deportation in exchange for his cooperation in the federal prosecution of Kilmar Abrego García, according to a review of court records and official testimony.

Research Q: When did NYC candidate Mamdani extoll “global intifada”? The Atlantic and NYT claim he did (both referenced a Bulwork podcast by Tim Miller), but I have been through the podcast twice and did not find it. Does it exist? Did Mamdani say this? He denies it.
I have no dog in this race. I just wonder about major media.

"an attempt to establish himself as a MAGA prodigy by trafficking in Trump-adjacent authoritarian extremes, like a new police force to ferret out people who may have illegally voted in the 2020 election"
But De Santis kept turning up Republicans who voted many times (whoops!), so that’s no longer a thing, right?
Onward, to Alligator Auschwitz! It’s got a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

Those two fuckers are made for each other. They should get a room. In a house that’s about to burn to the foundation.

Man-made, and entirely intentional.

You’ll remember DeSantis’ infamous stunt during the Biden administration, when, following Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s lead, he duped, transported and dumped a plane full of migrants in Martha’s Vineyard.
Isn’t that what we used to call “human trafficking?”

Funny you should say that. I just finished reading an article about that:

“The year without a summer” was extensively documented, including by Thomas Jefferson, and set the conditions whereby “Frankenstein” was written, because the weather around Lake Geneva was so inhospitable that a group of poets on vacation had to stay in and challenge one another to make up scary stories.

Thus, an “unnatural” disaster.

This doesn’t involve DeSantis, and it’s much more fun (or what passes for fun in my burning rage):

Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame! And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.

Dear Florida GOP,
I have been checking out your snappy Alligator Alcatraz line of merch. Way to own the libs, those humorless bleeding hearts are bound to be triggered by such a cheeky display of dehumanization and cruelty. But is Alcatraz really the appropriate metaphor? The occasional wrongly convicted individual notwithstanding, Alcatraz was a prison for criminals. ICE, on the other hand, is demonstrably rounding up individuals based on their ethnicity; if any of them are guilty of actual crimes, that’s a bonus.
What the facility resembles is not so much a prison, but a concentration camp. So, if I might make a suggestion, Alligator Auschwitz seems like a more accurate name. The branding wouldn’t lose any of its alliterative bite and, as an added bonus, your base might be able to understand and relate to it better seeing as so many more of them have family ties to the Holocaust than some defunct prison on the other side of the country.
Modestly,
Paniq

When I see a picture of Trump and DeSantis and a headline referring to “Bury the Hatchet,” I picture two hatchets and where they should be strategically and effectively buried.
