Turns out setting up an immigration detention tent camp without legal authority in a protected swamp nature preserve with a dark sky designation, that had almost zero infrastructure, in the scorching hot Florida summer, during hurricane season, did not turn out well.
The fear factor is what they were after and it is working- making our country worse by trying to encourage our friends and neighbors to leave they should be ashamed
Just imagine how many meals on wheels The Villages could have had with that money.
I know. Unfortunately we know the GQP will never go hungry and they do not care if we live or die as long as nothing happens to them.
They don't care. They've cashed their checks. Likely all companies involved knew this would be the outcome. Build it, get paid, tear it down, get paid, and go build somewhere else.
What happened to the extraordinary money it took to “ temporarily “ build it and staff it ⁉️⁉️⁉️. Thousands of dollars/ per day, for each detainee ⁉️⁉️⁉️ 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
HAHAHAHAHA. Fucking Floriduh gets what they deserve.
Darn!! I was hoping it would last long enough that Trump would get sent there for being un-American
🤬
Floriduh...
There was never a point to this outside of it being offensive. It was a terrible idea even from their perspective. They only did it because they wanted to give a cruel name to it.
I’m sure it turned a profit for a few connected cronies.
Whodathunk it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I thought this regime was against waste, fraud and abuse.
Though I still think we should keep it up to sent the Anti-American Traitor & Felon & Pedophile Trump and all his sad, sorry MAGA aiders and abetters to their for life (on their dime of course).
As a FL Tax Payer I don't recall anyone asking my opinion about this DeSatan fuck-up. It was nearly done before most of us knew.
They didn't need to ask, just did it anyway. What happens when you elect Republicans.
Or when you have a state full of them from other places.
Oh, don’t worry, Florida taxpayers..Donald Trump will reimburse you for that $218M.. it was not very well thought out and, being against WASTE, he’ll make good on returning yr hard earned money to you! Promises made, promises…🤔….ah, fuck it…. SUCKERS!!!!!
Make DeSantis pay the bill!
But did it transfer large sums of money to party favorites? For the GOP, the grift never ends
It turned out great for the grifters that stole the money
Well you live and learn. Or not, more likely not. 😏
Ya ,?but they did get 3 weeks out of it
Wannabe dictator Gov Disastrous wasted your $ on meme. Dear Gang Of Pedos (GOP), Just react as if Dem did this sh*t! Est. of GOP financial/leadership disaster: $3.4-4B Stolen by tRUmp $4T added to Nat’l Debt $3.5T stolen by billionaires ~1m ppl dead ~1m US ppl starving ~15m US ppl no med. ins.
What a cruel and careless decision treating human lives like they’re disposable while destroying nature at the same time. Capitalism and fascism never think long term, only in terms of control.
My siblings and I are in The Gambia 🇬🇲. We’ve lost our parents and are struggling every day without enough food, medicine, or stable shelter. It’s been very hard to survive, and I humbly ask for your support. Every little bit helps us stay alive. 👉 chuffed.org/project/1364...
The DeSantis Detention Center has a better ring to it.
Take this out of trump golf & travel budget for the year, someone needs to be accountable here
So the headline is still about the money "lost" eh? That's our great form of capitalism here folks. Not first that it was inhumane or anything else, but think of the dollars lost on our torture investment! No wonder we're in such a mess.
Yeah but some tent salesman just made bank.
unless you were one of the companies awarded the contracts to set up/tear down.
That’s true.
Too bad the ones who voted for DeathSentence don't have to pay for it all by themselves.
Embracing racism in America is not only profoundly shameful, but it also imposes a considerable financial burden on taxpayers when such behavior comes to light.
The mosquitos didnt help much either.
Who’da thunk?
😡
Who could've predicted?! It was an unknown unknown.
Way to go Floriduh ~ keep on glowing bright RED, dummies.
Agreed. Ridiculous amount of money waisted for a photo op and other unpleasantness. Also, thank you - I did not know of Dark Sky designations. Very cool.
And they wasted our taxpayer money to do it.
Evil and dumb.

Another failure of DeSantis and his outlaw administration.
Waste and fraud
IT'S BULLSHIT THAT ONE MAN MAKES A DECISION AND TAXPAYERS FOOT THE BILL. THE FLORIDA ENTIRE EXECUTIVE, LEGISLATIVE AND JUDICARY BRANCHES SHOULD FORFEIT ALL PAY AND BENEFITS TO OFFSET THIS BLATENT LAWLESS STUNT!
Conservatives. Are. Not. Smart.
But please Floridians, vote this dipshits fucking wife into power next election. Smart S_M_R_T
I hope the taxpayers revolt
Who knew?
at least the old cracker in the WH and some of his cronies made a good amount of money again with this scam
*Vengeful felon Trump wanted it to exaggerate his cruelty *De Santis, a Felon Trump toady okayed it. Good dog *Many many crimes were committed in the kidnapping, treatment and deportation of people. Who and where are they now?🤷♀️ *Contractors did well on both ends *FL taxpayers screwed = Trump Happy!
