And only $13 million per year in 2019, https://archive.ph/oOiK4 , per inmate that's $390,000,000,000 per year. Sounds like a great use of tax payer money.

Let's be realistic here...orange Don doesn't expect any of those people to still be alive after a year, what with all the accidents involving upper storey windows that could just happen at any time, or maybe someone could call for a code red.

Just a random selection of 30,000 people or for an actual reason?

Well, it's somewhat color dependent.

Does anyone know how big is Guantanamo? It takes a lot of space to imprison 30,000 “worst of the worst” children and other people, along with guards and supplies to keep all of them alive.

Aside from the other glaring problems with this idea, is this even physically plausible?

Why are you assuming they need supplies to keep them alive? You're forgetting that cruelty is the point for project 2025

Americans. You have a second amendment and a right to utilize that amendment against tyranny.

Exercise your right. In 4 years you won’t have a country that even remotely resembles what is supposed to be America and the land of the free.

Take down the nazis, destroy facism. Fight the power!

The 2nd amendment was intended to provide a way for citizens to defend themselves from the British, when the US had no standing army. To implement it in modern times when the police are militarised, and soldiers have drones...would be nothing less than suicidal.

America's first camp.....in 83 years.

Thanks conservatives.

It won't be the last

Are they just reviewing all the accusations they made about Democrats over the past few years and just using that as a template for what they want to do.
