Just a reminder that the violent crime rate has literally never been lower in American history...

Its not about those woke statistics snowflake! Its about how I FEEL! Everyone should care about my feelings, right now my feelings hate judges and think they should be locked up!

Hold on are we just gonna gloss over him calling for judges to be sent there?

I'm pretty sure that Alcatraz would be incredibly unsecure as drones could easily reach there and drop contraband which would not have been possible back when it was last used as a prison.

We are going to save money by opening new expensive prisons for judges who rule against me. This is totally normal.

They're not gonna use it as a prison. They're going to use it as a toehold to try and intimidate San Francisco with a standing military presence on the island. Don't get me wrong - they will imprison people there, but it's about getting a base for ICE right outside the loudest sanctuary city in the nation.

Alcatraz was built as a military fort and lighthouse, designed to control all maritime traffic into and out of the Golden Gate, long before it was used as a federal prison. That's what's really going on - they're making sure they have control of the second largest port on the West Coast.

This it the "wait and see" part that the trump regime mentioned to the press when he said the Democrats should be expelled from Congress.

Repeat criminal offenders...
So he wants to prepare the place for himself, when he gets locked up?

How many felonies, again?

Every accusation is a confession, as per usual. But yeah, let's lock up him and his syndicate there.
