George P. is on Fox advocating Trump on Gitmo.

Like Rfk jr. he’s not like the rest of his family. There may be hope for him at least.

$80k per prisoner per year to store the gang-bangers at Gitmo. I’d be cheaper to send them home and monitor the border entry points. It could happen once the fence is up and Canada/Mexico does it Trump’s way. No guarantee the next rat POTUS will not do a Biden. We should do it with 12 years in mind.

It is interesting that Hirono is on several of these confirmation hearings. I guess the Democrats wanted retards represented.

Contract them out to El Salvador. I’m sure they can do it for a lot cheaper. Win win.

Nix ALL wind and solar permits on all public land! Stop the folly. Stop the despoliation of our beautiful nation.

Lol! That, or maybe there were few Dem takers who wanted to be on such confirmation hearings, other than the usual loudmouths, i.e. Fauxahantas, Adam Schiff-less and Bernie Sanders.

Good to see the Norwegian fake Indian movin’ on. Don’t know what the hell is going on with our Indigenees. The Navajos elected a Vietnamese for their chief. Geez. Iron Eyes Cody has to be rolling in his grave. LOL.

And I expect Pam Bondi who is amazing to be confirmed too.

But my heart right now is with RFK, Tulsi, Kash — they disturb the establishment so much. My prayers are with them.

FWIW, I’d like to see most of the Interior Dept to be pulled out of DC and reorganized in a place like Kansas City, St Louis or Tulsa.

Geographically, it’d be centrally located and most importantly, it would be away from the Beltway. They can then get back to the business of running the Interior Dept as a govt agency instead of a do nothing, paperwork-churning, Beltway-entangled entity.

Don’t trust him. Like they say though, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

St. Louis would probably like the added population

I know Doug. He’s a good guy. A little squishier than your average FReeper, but we’re hard core.
