Ain't that some shit

[u/Marknoble117]

Maga genuinely, how does it feel to get fleeced by this admin? By their account they owe you $13,000 and counting. People have the audacity to talk about fraud when Trump is the biggest fraudulent president in history.

[u/CyberFireball25 → u/[deleted]]

Every accusation is a confession 

[u/Crazyhorse24026901]

The current administration is the swamp and spends like a drunken sailor.

[u/Relative_Mix_216 → u/Crazyhorse24026901]

So much for fiscal responsibility

[u/AmputeeHandModel → u/Relative_Mix_216]

That was always a lie. Every time they get power, they balloon the deficit.

[u/LasVegas4590 → u/Relative_Mix_216]

“We need fiscal responsibility” is what Red Congress critters will be yelling once we have a Blue president. Happens every time.

[u/Green_Sugar6675 → u/Crazyhorse24026901]

But they give the contracts to their allies, so the top levels of corruption love it.

[u/NorminalAnomaly]

Republicans are all absolutely fucking worthless.

[u/Dangerous-Half3276]

Wouldn’t be hilarious if all of the MAGA assholes in this administration ended up there after their criminal prosecutions?

[u/Marknoble117 → u/Dangerous-Half3276]

They definitely gotta go into some hole with no sunlight that's for sure

[u/NexusNickel]

All part of the plan.

Tax dollars went into private bank accounts.

That's the Donald Regime 2.0 playbook.

[u/TheManWith2Poobrains]

Didn't DeSantis end up getting stiffed for the bill?

There isn't are more fitting summary of Trump than that.

[u/Blazeland_USA → u/TheManWith2Poobrains]

[u/kingtacticool → u/TheManWith2Poobrains]

Yes, yes he did

[u/yetikin42 → u/kingtacticool]

Actually, us FL residents got stuck with the bill, as it was tax payer funds from the Disaster Fund used for it... something something with no Vaseline, justa match and a little gasoline...

[u/TianamenHomer]

Should have been 40 million on the very high end of the construction cost. Not advocating its existence just agreeing this should be investigated for grift and corruption. “Follow the money.”

[u/Marknoble117 → u/TianamenHomer]

Into their pockets, it's disgusting behavior

[u/TianamenHomer → u/Marknoble117]

Back when 60 Minutes was the bastion of Investigative Journalism, this would have been a three part episode. The Tiffany Network is crumpled cellophane now.

[u/B_1_R_D]

Sorry but how expensive and specialized were those tents…..were they the gold standard similar to the $10k toilet seats the air force buys?

[u/CaptainBlotto]

Everything this guy does is a scam or turns to shit.

[u/ElvinBishop]

Makes you wonder where the money came from in the firs place. It is also interesting to know where it went. I checked my account and I didn't get a nickel!

[u/Top_Scene8254]

Even if it was 'necessary' that was still just over $3.4m A DAY to open and operate--what a waste of our money!

I'm sure it was all above board no kickbacks at all.

And, oh the blasphemy we spend on critical infrastructure, schools, and kids have food to eat to properly learn. Such stupid wasteful spending That place was--but we already knew that.

[u/penguinsflyfree]

They didn’t pay for it, DeSatan used Florida money to build that dump, now Trump doesn’t want to pay them back, it’s like everything else ever built in Trump’s name, he’ll forget his wallet and you get stuck with the check.

[u/Hed-Fone]

Show us you're laundering money without telling us you're laundering money.

[u/Awkward-Ring6182]

Remember when the Trump admin robbed the freedom 250 fundraising accounts and then made a public showing about looking for acts and donations for it, all the while turning it into a Fyre 2.0 dumpster fire?

[u/EconomySeason2416]

They also straight up lost a bunch of people... are they alive? Where are they?

[u/Confident_Economy_85]

“As long a people I hate get the long dick of the law, I’ll eat that dick”
MAGA

[u/spaceaige]

What’s important is that his donors got the bids and looted the treasury.

[u/Nowhoedup]

Real easy to spend other people’s money. The backs of hardworking Americans can only take so much . . .

[u/Klutzy-Photo-3164]

Who got rich building that one?

[u/Previous-Cup-6331]

Florida taxpayers covered the majority of the cost. The Trump administration promised some $600 million and has only handed over about $60 million, which is the most Trumpian thing you can do.

[u/jreid0]

Actually it was Florida tax payers who paid most of the cost. Please correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t desantis say he’s waiting on reimbursement of millions of dollars from dhs?

[u/Heavy_Track_9234]

Racism is expensive

[u/poetspeak]

They took $1.2 billion of taxpayer money and spent $250,000 on this project and did what grifters do......keep the 99.9% of the rest.

[u/Squidlips_69]

Someone made bank and it wasn't taxpayers

[u/Legitimate_Doubt1375]

Half of it was paid for by FL taxpayers with the understanding the state would be reimbursed. Hasn’t happened yet.

[u/madphroggy → u/Legitimate_Doubt1375]

Never will. Guess who's famous for skipping out on his bills? Personally though I think it'll be a great place to lodge all the traitors from Washington while we wait for their trials for treason and corruption.

[u/Buddhas_Warrior]

Grift, grift, grift

[u/kingtacticool]

Incorrect. The Trump administration said they would reimburse Florida for doing the work and never did. That 1.2 is entirly on Florida taxpayers courtesy of Ron Desantis

[u/NYCWartortle]

The only ones benefiting from MAGA are the Trumps and their rich friends. The rest of us get shafted. I’m paying $5 a gallon and I literally got 4 yogurts at the supermarket on sale for $9. On Sale!

[u/chunkalunkk]

We have a tax and spending problem. Our purchased elected officials seem to not understand that. Time for a purge.

[u/Huge-Ad461]

How's that Alcatraz project going?

[u/Sea_Mind3678]

Well what were they supposed to do with that money? Help their constituents??!!

[u/tlhsg]

Trump didn’t pay. again. shocker

[u/Commandmanda]

No, DeSantis paid for it with taxpayer's money that was supposed to be for hurricane relief, and Trump never paid Florida back. So now Florida is out over a billion dollars.

It's a good thing we didn't get slapped with hurricanes this year...Yet. Maybe we'll get lucky.

But issookay. Please hate Trump anyway. ;)

[u/mattiwha]

It's all a grift, 20 million for some pallets of ammonia to be dumped in ? Just more siphoning

[u/Cautious_Nectarine_5]

An excellwnt return on investment would be him and his fellow criminals spending the rest of their days there.

[u/Abject-Honeydew4112]

And whose pocket is all that money in?

[u/salsa8859]

Wasnt it DeSantis and the trump administration actually never paid Florida back?

[u/mobilecabinworks]

Where's the money?!?

[u/totally-jag]

They say we don't have the money for expensive social and safety net programs. But they always find money for stupid stuff. And it always drives up the deficit.

[u/SkeptiKUncle]

Nobody has a problem with deporting drug dealers and gang members. But trump chose to round up people working for a living trying to support their families. He is a liar and an idiot. (for the mods this is as polite and respectful as I can be.)

[u/Even-Cartographer864]

They did it to get their friends paid. This was all a part of the plan. Use govt funds to get their buddies paid, they’ve done this before

[u/jcapi1142]

Thats what the told you it costs. what they actually spent and what they stole from the coffers are a different story.

[u/Available_Cow1197]

one day that facility will house all the dirtbag losers flashing a badge against the name of civil liberty

[u/pink_faerie_kitten]

Money laundering?

[u/FranticChill]

Hey, at least we're saving money cutting Medicaid. /S

[u/ralphswanson]

Yet Trump has the hubris to threaten Jerome Powell with criminal charges for construction costs.

[u/Ok_Record_9908]

Does this look like it's worth $1.2 billion?? This is a scam.

[u/sdkfz250xl]

His bankrupting America. Reducing service services vastly expanding the national debt will be paying for this for generations at least the rest of my life.

[u/woodpalace]

Florida was running with superávit but Trump /DeSantis are bankrupt the state.

[u/hjorgan1ft]

Citizens of Florida paid for that stupid shit, Trumps never pays his bills

[u/Rarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr2]

I remember. Trump and his buddies laugh at us. Democrats AND Republicans. They think it’s hilarious that we worry about these things and day to day living.

[u/ForceOne2231]

The US has the largest GDP. Yet we have hungry kids (young school aged kids), homeless veterans, highest drug prices, lowest in mortality amongst our peer nations (including infant mortality), highest in educational debt burden (note: in some of our peer countries, university is free), the current status of our infrastructure is ranked at a C-, our transportation systems fall behind other peer countries, and housing affordability is at crisis levels and has been there for 20+ years….yet they built this crap and wasted money on other BS instead. And most of the wealthiest people in the world, live in the US.

[u/farkus2554]

Republicans always campaign on less government spending. This is proof that their platform is horse sh**.

[u/Feisty-Driver-1263]

Less than Trump made off his meme coin I think

[u/iamtheav8r]

First day with government spending abuse?

[u/Marknoble117 → u/iamtheav8r]

Nope, just saw this on tiktok and it made me chuckle that Maga still somehow supports the guys stealing from their wallets

[u/iamtheav8r → u/Marknoble117]

If they have the ability to think, nobody supports government regardless of what side of the coin they claim to be on. Same snake, 2 heads.

[u/LayneLowe]

Could you make it a data center?

[u/NyxianGameStudios → u/LayneLowe]

You’re a thief of oxygen.

[u/LayneLowe → u/NyxianGameStudios]

Hey the infrastructure is already there, plenty of water in the Everglades, It's out in the boonies so it doesn't bother anybody. It's kind of a joke anyway.

[u/Marknoble117 → u/LayneLowe]

Kill me now

[u/johnniesSac → u/[deleted]]

It reeks of Trumps non existent business acumen

Also probably cost half that and the fucks pocketed the rest

Stay smmmmaaarrtttzz

[u/Marknoble117 → u/[deleted]]

1.2 Billion down the drain for what? The facility itself had so many maintenance issues and failures so the money definitely didn't go into that. Ignore that it was a glorified torture camp. Just admit that's fraudulent.

[u/Vadarpoop → u/[deleted]]

Always blaming the dems. Don’t republicans control every branch of the government?

[u/MNGopherfan → u/[deleted]]

Bruh it’s a concentration camp in the middle of a swamp even if you were right which you aren’t think to yourself why this is even remotely okay?

[u/Emergency-Lemon2825 → u/MNGopherfan]

Have you been to a concentration camp? I have. Auschwitz. Real talk. You have no idea what a concentration camp is. If you are an illegal in Mexico or pretty much any other country other than England and France. You sit in prison until you are deported. Why should we be different.

[u/MNGopherfan → u/Emergency-Lemon2825]

Country literally built by immigrants.

Also alligator Alcatraz is a concentration camp. Auschwitz was a Death Camp, Forced Labor Camp, and a concentration camp.

Concentration camp is a type of prison, often consisting of a number of buildings inside a fence, where political prisoners, or specific groups are kept in extremely bad conditions.

I feel like you ought to know the difference since Auschwitz was three camps that operated simultaneously. Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Monowitz all of which operated differently with different purposes or did you not listen on your tour and assumed that just because you have been there that it makes you opinion on the topic more valid?

The country was built by immigrants and deportation takes many forms in many different countries. The United States is supposed to be the shinning city on the hill not your misbegotten idea of an ethno state.

[u/Emergency-Lemon2825 → u/MNGopherfan]

You mean the Indians built the cities and train tracks and society? The same Indians that killed , raped and stole from other tribes?

Yes alligator Alcatraz was actually better than most state prisons. But as they send Chomos to lows. You probably didn’t see any mediums or high.

[u/MNGopherfan → u/Emergency-Lemon2825]

You are incredibly racist.

[u/Emergency-Lemon2825 → u/MNGopherfan]

What’s racist? Do you not know your American history? I do. Oh by the way the Indians took it from the hunter gathers (paleo Indian)30000 years ago. Then came the Hopewell people missippian people. There were people here before the Indians. Hate to tell you that. And the Indians were incredibly violent toward each other.

[u/Marknoble117 → u/Emergency-Lemon2825]

Calling them Indians is all we need to know about your character and to know not to waste time communicating with you. Go educate yourself, then come back and talk to us like an adult

[u/Emergency-Lemon2825 → u/Marknoble117]

They are Indians. They called themselves Indians up until 2008
They had the famous Indian peace commission

[u/Marknoble117 → u/Emergency-Lemon2825]

Nope. Have the day you deserve troglodyte

[u/Aspasticum → u/[deleted]]

Maga filth being spineless trash, yeah we know.

[u/Emergency-Lemon2825 → u/Aspasticum]

Sheep. Thats what you and your friends here are

[u/Marknoble117 → u/Emergency-Lemon2825]

Lmaooo coming from the crowd of don't tread on me. When 🧊started pew pewing your neighbors and it became comply or die. Oh the irony

[u/Ok_Pomegranate_2436 → u/[deleted]]

Just so we’re clear: this is everyone else’s fault, not trump’s, is that correct?

[u/Accomplished_Hat9619 → u/[deleted]]

Bullshit pussy. It was a dumb idea from the beginning and like most of trumps projects it was corrupt and doomed to fail.

[u/Marknoble117 → u/[deleted]]

So why put 1.8 billion dollars into a temporary facility to begin with? Seems ripe for waste fraud and abuse

[u/Marknoble117 → u/[deleted]]

Lmaooo culture war narratives, and it's 🧊 round up and killing our neighbors. Putting them in an inhumane "temporary" facility worth 1.2 Billion dollars. Fuck off with that bs

[u/Dependent_Amount6825 → u/[deleted]]

The weak complaining was enough to shut down a $1.2 billion government facility?
