How many people are they going to put in there and the guy looks around and says, “Hey, this reminds me of where I grew up.”

I’ve been out there a bunch of times. This is in the area of the loop road which goes into the cypress swamps. I have taken my kids and grandkids out there to see “real” gators.

While it is “remote”, it is most navigable. Of course there is hardly anyone out there, so if you have infrared on a chopper it would take about fifteen minutes to track you.

The mosquitoes will kill you before the gators.

I was describing to my wife what they were doing out there. I actually ended using the phrase, “They can concentrate the people waiting for deportation….”

I think I need to come up with a better description.

logistically, this really answers the call. All you need is a little bus to move them 2,000 feet that way, they get on a plane, and then they're gone,”

The most capable administrator in America. Too bad he's such a lousy campaigner.

And before Democrats rush to attack DeSantis over what some are calling "Alligator Alcatraz,"

THEY CAN DAMN WELL WALK 2000 FEET.

MY rural property = 630’ X 389’.

I fenced it all. 3 LARGE PADDOCKS 3 MEDIUM PADDOCKS AND 6 steel pens 12 X 24.

NOW, I use the morning cool to chop out the weeds-shovel or hula hoe.

HAVE knocked out over 2500 in 6 days. Need about 3 more days...

THEN REPEAT-—WEEDS DO NOT STOP.

DeSantis is displaying his inner Trump. That’s good. Now if he would just take off a few pounds. Do it or the female voters-those things count.

They both seem to be having a good time-that’s good.

How many years in politics? What an apt title! The definitive Swamp filth.

“The mosquitoes will kill you before the gators.”

The same is true for people who go traveling in Canada and take wilderness trips there. Although there aren’t any gators, there certainly are bears. However, on a trip I took back in the early 1980s the real problem was mosquitoes and, especially, black flies. A yellow windbreaker I wore ended up being blood stained because of all the insect bites. Indeed, we had a physician on the trip who took some really good clinical style photographs of the face of one of the female participants who’d been really badly chewed. I can just imagine what it must be like in the Everglades. Thanks, but no thanks.

Haha. Well said. And how many are going to say, “I ain’t skeerd of no gator. My first pet as a child was a big ole gator.”

Yeah as if these leftist a-holes are suing because they are worried about environmental impact.

I’m looking forward to hearing that it’s open for business, and even more to the first attempt at escape.

Utterly transparent, isn’t it? They will do ANYTHING to stop President Trump, interfere with true republican (small “r”) governance, and support criminals.
