DT's gang of lowlifes, miscreants, sadists will someday come to an end. In the meantime, thank you to Betty Osceola and Judge Kathleen Williams. Finally someone is standing up and saying "At long last, have you no sense of decency?"

Notably, it was the women who saw it off.

Add DeSatan to the front row of that swamp circus. Much respect to Betty Osceola.

Before the lights are switched off and the keys are tossed, three miscreants should be left behind to walk their way out.

I don’t think I need to name them.

Beautifully written. Thank you. And welcome promise. I've been waiting to hear that this regimes cruelty and evil will crush them. Hope it continues until nothing is left but a bad smell that fresh air will dissipate. One can dream and continue to fight them for that result!

Is the extreme, gratuitous sadism of jailing people in a swamp (definitely cruel and unusual punishment) finally too much for even Trump's coven of ghouls? I don't mean this Everglades prison is too much for the current, twisted crew now running things (they're clearly operating out of the range of any commonly accepted moral compass) But it seems--absent a successful Trump court appeal and the morally empty majority on the Supreme court--that this Florida Stalag is too much for at least one honest judge, a great cross-section of regular citizens, and, finally, the earth itself.

The characters starring in Trump's performance Hell are like manifestations of the Seven Deadly Sins; Trump, Homan, Miller, Noem, Bondi--They have left their humanity (and any scrap of compassion or decency they might have had)--left it all behind on their bloody path to power.

Everybody, from kids playing in a schoolyard to people working at a job--down to old folks sitting in the sun in a park somewhere--everyone know a bully when they see one. And Trump has collected the worst set of amoral, soul-less bullies he could find to set the rules for the rest of us.

The next act in their non-stop horror show is to manufacture excuses to invade our major cities. There will be Tiananmen Squares all over the United States if the mass of people, the courts, and some brave Governors don't stop it.

And what makes this all the more vicious and insane is that it's all being done partially to divert public attention from Trump's long career as a child molester. The man has no focus, no goals, no political or social aims. He is a creature solely obsessed with power and with avoiding responsibility for his many crimes... He is perpetually on the run from the law, like Bill Sykes in Oliver Twist--hallucinating scenarios of violence as he runs from JUSTICE.

Wasted taxpayer dollars again. And the harm to the environment is staggering.

We need responsible leadership. Impeach every Republican in office and all the Nazis on trump’s cabinet

This outcone was predictable as soon as the suit was filed. DeSatanis tried to play it like it was a FL endeavor that could ignore Federal EPA requirements, which was belied by the facts and other of his own words.

It's a rare goose that cooks itself.

The posturing and toadyism of Ron DeSantis is also to blame. When the bills come due, it looks like the State of Florida will be on the hook. Wonder how much we'll hear about that. This is just another of Ron's acrimonious contributions to the chaos we're in. Floridians have paid absurd amounts for flights for migrants, flights to evacuate Jews, and god know what else so that he can stand closer to Trump. Actually, he stands on the brink of extinction. So much for governor Casey.

And where is Elon Musk and DOGE calling out the waste and fraud of the cost of this failed facility ($250 million), painting the border wall ($500 million) on the side the sun isn’t shining on to make it hot, employing the national guard unnecessary in cities, states and DC that don’t even want them ($1 million+ per day), arresting legal residents by bounty hunters for huge profits????????

This regime has found more ways to waste money and defraud the American people than any administration ever in the history of our country by taking away the very necessary resources FOR the people and giving it to the billionaires and themselves.

WE THE PEOPLE have to make it stop!!!!

Actually, they are taking it to court. An airstrip and other structures were there already. We need to show the illegals and discourage them to ever come via the borders illegally.
