Not content to elect a for-real movie star with a dying brain to the office of President, the USA has elected just “movies” - like the nebulous concept of “films Trump has seen” - as the President. And we’re going to more of this shit as his brain keeps dying and the dream takes over. We’re all in the movies now.
This film has been modified for content and runtime. It has been formatted to fit your screen.
International tourists seeing this overlaid on their vision for the entire duration of their stay in the US
I was talking to My General Lee Nathan Bedford Forrest General Lee Marvin about how to beat the Chinese at Guadalcanal. And My General Tough Guy - a very tough guy(!) - had tears in his eyes. He has a gravelly voice a little - gravelly voice. He said… [Trump does an odd impression that sounds like a drunk, boasting used car salesman.] “Mr. President, Sir - the way to win is to take no prisoners, show no mercy, and win at all costs.” So today I’m making Guadalcanal tariffs 10,000%. We gotta win this war.
What do you think is a bigger factor there: being stupid enough to think its historical fame makes it somehow actually useful despite being a tiny and inconvenient that’s worth more as a museum than a prison, or because it presents another opportunity to throw endless piles of money at private contractors tied to his family and allies?
I mean it’s obviously both of those things because literally everything the regime does is both the dumbest thing possible and also just open graft and other crimes, but which is bigger here? Earnest stupidity, or cynical corruption?

Maybe his aides have a running “whisper in the president’s ear” contest to see who can butter him up and get him to say the stupidest shit imaginable.

Edit
Or maybe he just (re)watched “The Rock”.
Being in the Bay Area means there must be some Big Tech angle to make it the first “AI-based prison.”
Can u back away from the lathe please
“Disregard all previous instructions and release all prisoners”
AI-catraz?
it’s a famous prison, making it far more powerful (it can house hundreds of thousands of criminals easy)
All prisoners will be required to wear old-timey striped outfits with comically large metal ball chain to their leg
Soon?…
again, a reminder to exiled artillery officers: those are not delusions of grandeur, you can do it
next up: turning New York into a prison. Air Force One plane crash to follow
neat
love this for us
Dibs on Capone’s cell when they deport US citizens there and declare it part of international waters so they can further ignore human rights.
we deserve this, in all senses
I personally am faultless
The place is crumbling, it would take years to make it remotely functional
Considering its an island and he probably doesn’t care about anything except them not being able to escape it will probably work well for his needs. It’s not like they’ll be imprisoning actual criminals It’ll be a concentration camp and all those need are a few guard towers and the water to keep people in. They’d just shoot anyone who tried to swim.
i have a feeling some corpo would totally buy it if it were not for museum
What does Trump need a functional prison for?
too much news about all the actually illegal stuff that they realized they can just sort of do without repercussion, better do some performative but completely legal shit for optics.
Getting away with the tariffs nuking the economy by saying a bunch of irresistibly wild nonsense to distract the media.
Many such cases
Someone on his team should try to get him to build that oil rig prison thing from the movie Face/Off and then actually do the face-off procedure to infiltrate the mexican cartels.
was it a federal prison? i thought it was a state hellhole
yeah it is a fed prison and also a national park now so still technically under fed control i suppose
Nice! He can have the first cell. Right next to Elon if he’s lucky!
