"It's unfair simply because we house a federal prison that we might be looked at as a place to harbor these terrorists," Rep. Bill Davis, R-Portland, said Tuesday.

A task force is working on recommendations on where to put the 245 remaining detainees.

Fortunately, we still have some really great Republican leaders that are willing to work their butts off to try to save the rest of us from the idiot Dems in the state. lol

Vast majority of the state’s counties rejected 0. Funny thing is, Vigo Co. where the Terra Haute prison is located went 57% for 0.

Here’s an idea. Let’s send these folks only to the states that voted for Zero. They wanted him, they believed in him, let them have the benefits he offers.

My prediction is that Zero’s going to do exactly the worst thing, which is to put these scum in as many places as possible. Shared sacrifice, you know.

You’re absolutely right. I fear we’re headed the same direction as Illinois and so many other states. The Libs in Indy and the Chicago area are going to decide for us. :/

If worse comes to worse, can I take my house and yard and secede? lol

I can see it now: The United State of Blondistan :D
