Pelosi: Reopening Alcatraz the ‘stupidest initiative put forth’ by Trump administration
The Hill via Yahoo ^ | 7/17/25 | Elizabeth Crisp

House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) slammed President Trump’s push to reopen the historic Alcatraz prison near San Francisco as “the stupidest initiative put forth by this administration” on Thursday.

“Being tough on crime is not turning Alcatraz, which won’t even be a prison for a long time to come — I don’t think it’ll ever happen,” Pelosi, a frequent Trump critic, said in an interview on MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Reports.”

“This is not about being tough on crime. It’s being frivolous about money and silly about the choices they have made,” she added.

Don’t worry Nancy, I’m sure they can put a wine and ice cream fridge in your cell when the time comes.

Button pushing. All it cost him is a flight there for Bondi and Burgahm.

Cases of top shelf Ice Cream in her Sub-Zero Fridge and she says Trump is frivolous about money. Could she at least thank us for her treasure trove of delectables?

I agree it it’s stupid, but only because there won’t be 10.000 Great Whites circling the island searching for a meal.

If Pelosi doesn’t like it, it’s probably very good.

Claw back the billions that were wasted on the fast train that was never built to pay for it.

Yeah, she sounds like she is afraid she made one of the first new prisoners.

I don't think it will happen either. Not really practical.

Okay Nancy...what's the solution...right smack in your backyard??

Don’t know whether the reopening is a cost effective place to keep prisoners, but it sure sends a tough on crime message that the Democrats never like.

Then, one really wonders. What is going on, on the Island of Tinian?

The Sea Bees are apparently hard at work there

“… House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)…”

“Emerita”?

The correct term is “FORMER”.

There is no such term attached to a former SOTH. Made up BS by the media.

(The word is real, but it is NOT used for this)
