He's counting on Casey to bring home the alligator bacon from here on out.

Floridian here. It was built in secret with our tax dollars that we will never get back! I hate that prick. Now he has started a war on rainbow crosswalks and art sidewalks!
Of all the hideous things DeSatan has done and said, this was by far the most horrific. The baby he was gloriously giddy about. Pure evil under the guise of christianity.👹

Wasn't De Santis caught embesling?

They've wished harm on me and my loved ones for so long, I have nothing left but antipathy and loathing. Good! I hope it severely damages Florida's economy. May the harm they wished for the rest of us be visited on their house tenfold.
I live here (unfortunately) but I hope this crap bankrupts the state. These morons refuse to learn any other way and right now they are spending millions to erase rainbows!!
I'm pretty sure all his donors got well compensated by the taxpayers tho: www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...
Where's the $10 million he gave his wife of taxpayer money?
I was about to say "Good!" Then I realized it was my money.
Alligator Alcatraz was purely a money laundering scheme. The damage is done.
Play stupid (& very cruel) games, win stupid prizes.
As Ron “Lectern” DeSantis pivots towards spending additional Florida taxpayer money on Desperation Depot, there will be no mention of the wasted $218M on Asskissing Alley.
Sad but true. Unfortunately, he will manage to make more $ after he leaves office. Probably a book deal, speaking fees and oh, private practice as an Attorney? Yikes.
FLORIDA LOST MME IN 2017 WHEN THEY BARFED UP TRUMP
I hope the state goes bankrupt
Devin Nunes seems to be doing well - he pays himself a lot. Yes, the company is bleeding cash, but as long as he gets his He also serves as Chair of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, which seems to be ironic wording for the Board now The board consists mostly of investment dudes
He’s stolen a lot in these contracts for immigrant abuse I imagine
Florida is never going to be reimbursed by DHS for this expense, no matter what anyone thinks.
Yup. DeSantis is yesterday’s political news. The Khardashian of politics. Thoughts and prayers.
This is a huge court decision! It shows that business people lacking human empathy who try to profit from creating government-use pork-barrel-project concentration camps can lose their invested capital when courts correctly rule that concentration camps with no due-process violate USA laws.
Didn’t he use FEMA funds for AA? That’s going to be fun if they get a major storm and there aren’t funds available while AA sits empty.
blackoutthesystem.com This plan is in the works. Protests aren't working. Let's take away the tax dollars that they are using to oppress us! Please sign up and join the movement!:-)
Maybe he can get it from his wife.
Roughly $10 for every Floridian. $40 for a struggling family of four.
I seriously doubt the red state of Florida. will lose anything. The cost will come out of our pockets.
Ron will not despair; he has a bright future in another line of work. He will dust off his white go-go dancer boots and dance at the Dickhead Disco Club on Bigotry Boulevard.
Ron will have a bright future as a go-go dancer. He's got the boots, he's got the looks, and he's got the moves. Go, go Ron.
his wife will be the next gov so he can continue the grift in a familial way
Charge Taco-man, start selling his real estate, and golf courses, and crypto currency....
DeSantis and/or his friends pocketed lots of public money making it.
He spent 218 M so he can show his anti-immigration bonafides for when he runs for president again.
Small correction: He gave 218 million to his buddies and pals...
I would rather Florida lose that money than have humans being treated the way they were in this hell hole!
Did you catch the Univision coverage of how detainees were beaten after one died and everyone protested?
Yes, he's another jd vance POS.
And still fighting with Orlando about the rainbow crosswalk. Like we have nothing else to worry about.
if you're stupid enough to vote for these corrupt, moral-less, ethic-less, GOP assholes, you deserve what you get...looking at YOU Florida and Texas and Kentucky and the rest of you red state stupid mooks.
This is going to be my new favorite show
Laughter!
Yes!😂🐊
what about the wife’s senate bid-this should be shared with her too
Yes, and please shine a light on the private donors who helped build this facility as they try to write this off as a business expense and get their money back during tax season.
How much of the dollars going to build Aligator shit did go into DeSantis pockets? 20%, 50%?
They voted for him. Everybody else should move.
Wasn't he and his wife accused of fraud of some sort.
What’s the old saying? Waste, Fraud, and Abuse or something?
If they do finally have to close it, I will not shed a tear.
Housing the poor? Too expensive you commie bastard! Spending hundreds of millions to get this facility up on short notice so we can be evil to brown people: no problem.
Trump and Desantis spend money like drunken sailors
I predict he'll have a fantastic post political career: as the worst bobblehead to ever exist.
Also hope they sue them bankrupt for the damage to the environment and the suffering of the people that were incarcerated there.
I’m looking forward to his trial for human rights abuses.
Play stupid games Ron...
Oh I’d like to see this! That lil meatball nazi has a money funnel somewhere. However, it’ll be enjoyable watching him squirm when a hurricane inevitably nails FL somewhere and there’s no FEMA to help him etc. He is so corrupt, inane, and epically inept.
I second that motion.
This Regime engaging in Political Theater. The name itself was designed to "trigger the libs". They don't gaf about wasting taxpayer money. They likely knew it couldn't remain open bc it was ILLEGAL. They are the "Illegals". White MAGA/GOP are Illegal aliens to humanity.
He’s going to try and run as governor through his wife in 2026/2027. If so, I’m highly considering moving out of Florida
I moved away in his first term because it was affecting my blood pressure there trying to survive the pandemic under his watch. My docs were afraid I’d have another stroke so urged me to get out.
Glad you’re doing ok Deb!
Thanks!
Don't despair. Their hail mary of running Casey for Gov is unlikely to work and Byron Donalds isn't a strong candidate either. David Jolly is a Democratic contender.
If Casey is a Hail Mary, I hope you’re right!! Byron has some weaknesses I believe too. Make Jane Castor our nominee!
Is Jane running?
I don’t believe so but she should! Was my mayor when I lived in Tampa and we loved her
I still can’t believe they didn’t elect Crist. David Jolly would be a great choice.
Twenty three million in this state and all we ever get is has-been Republican politicians who don't want to get a real job.
I will never vote for Jolley under any circumstances. Not in a primary or ever. That party hopper is NOT to be trusted. He's been a Dem for 5 minutes. Before that, he was part of the wacko Forward Party and he was a Republican forever before that.
People said the same about Crist so we got DeSantis. That turned out well, huh? Jolly is a contender exactly because he's a former R and therefore more palatable to some R voters. I'm a single issue voter - vote for anyone who isn't a MAGA Republican.
Thanks, came here to say the same. And we’ve got to get the nut jobs voted out at the local level too. Some of us are old enough to remember living in a blue Florida. 🌊
I'm a registered Democrat because of the primary structure in FL. I'm a pragmatic progressive. And I have never voted for a Republican in my lifetime and never will. We can't afford to elect just anyone claiming to be a Democrat because most aren't. I won't allow us to be Sinema'd by Jolley.
We'll see how the field plays out. But right now Jolly is the strongest contender in the Dem field. He's a vocal critic of Trump. That puts him far ahead of any Republican running for Gov even if he turns out to be Republican-lite. What we really can't afford is to elect another Trump sycophant.
We can't afford to elect someone who might be Republican-Lite. And the Republicans won't vote for anyone anti-TFG.
Florida is truly fucked until we take back Tally. Maps are too gerrymandered at the behest of the national parties which has zero connection to the needs of the non-land-grabbing Floridian.
Florida is a GOP-occupied state due to 20+ years of GOP gerrymandering and voter suppression.
Yeah, and the leaders of our team didn't notice or couldn't defend against it. P.S. Fuck Jolly. I'm already preparing for the pain of one or two terms of Byron if a real Dem doesn't stand up.
I voted for a Republican once. Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan, who saved the Pantry Cafe, where no one was refused food even if they could not pay. He served two terms and was actually a very effective Mayor.
Most Republicans used to hold conservative policy views but were reasonable people. They weren't always foaming-at-the-mouth radicals that we have today.
True some like Riordan, were actually fiscal conservatives and social liberals. But those days are gone.
Conservativism in all its forms harms everyone and is antithetical to all progress. And the GOP has lied about their 'conservativism' being good. 10 of the 11 recessions from 1953-2020 were under Republican Presidents. They've been the least fiscally responsible party for over 70 years.
They have spent nearly 50 years running psyops on the base to get us exactly here. And the HF had a version of P2025 for Reagan who adopted over 60% of it in his first year and liked it so much he had it bound and given to his Cabinet. The GOP is trash and always has been.
I have voted for Republicans when there was no one else running. Like for County Elections Supervisor last year. There were only 2 Republicans to choose from. I've never willingly voted for a Republican. Only been forced to choose between them.
Nikki Fried was the GOP apologist pretending to be a Dem who lied about Christ in her campaign and is the reason he likely didn't win. She should have stayed the fuck out of the race.
Christ was my District Rep and I voted for him many times. His record was solid. He was a co-sponsor of the Women's Health Protection Act. And Christ was kicked out of the Republican party for publicly supporting the ACA. There's no comparison.
We’re out after 21 years. Putting the house on the market before it crashes.
I don’t blame you. May I ask where you’re looking to move to?
Back to Illinois.
Fucking Tacky o and tropical hitler
Thoughts and prayers.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer state. Are FL taxpayers still paying for Disney litigation?
Pretty sure Disney kicked his ass in court
They did.
#RonDisantisForPrison
Deserves everything karma has coming to him.
🍿
👍👍👍 Same goes for all of them. Maybe the Heritage Foundation building as a bunch of mother-in-law suites they can retire int
I can't wait. 🍿 OH, but the people. 😮💨
It’s not all wasted. Think of all the clicks the legacy press got by covering it as totally normal.
Hooray!
thats never gonna happen, that would require enough of the american people to actually give a fuck that they are turning the US into a dictatorship.
Me too, sir! Me too! I live in Florida and it’s just too much!💙💙💙
Hell, Arizona lost $190 million on Doug Ducey's idea of using cargo containers on the Mexican border. There is no fiscal responsibility by the conservatives.
💯💯💯
Me too. That's going to feed my soul for a long time.
Thanks for wasting $218 million of my tax dollars Ronnie..!!!😳🎱🙉
Don’t forget he’s running his wife for governor so she can be his puppet.

🤣🤣🤣
I’m sure the suitcases are full of cash and the offshore accounts are bursting
I still can’t believe this stupid freaking idea came to pass during my lifetime. What an absolute clusterf#ck. DeSantis should be relegated to the political abyss of moral decay for even thinking of this and never see the light of day again. Take down those RIDICULOUS SIGNS!!!
He'll certainly want the federal government to pay Florida.
'patriots' from florida should go there as tourists and buy their orange juice no one it the world is buying any more...
Ditto ! I'm A Longtime Floridian & I Thought Comrade Rick Scott Was Bad Til This Guy !
How’s the Hope Foundation investigation going? Little d is dirty
Are they figuring in the t-shirt sales to the Florida knuckle draggers? Surely that rakes in a cool million so they can all walk around with Alligator Alcatraz on their chests. Proud to be degenerate racists.
Yes to that, Ron Filipkowski! I’m looking forward to that too.
It's Florida pal....nothing is dead until it stops moving....and even then you can't always be sure....
Wow DeSantis cost the FL tax payers Millions. Residents in FL are seeing higher prices everywhere. DeSantis is the Devil and definitely not fit for his job.
Florida ads section… Second hand concentration camp for sale. Hardly used. Call 555-DeSatan
It’s actually 666 Desatan
Or www.PuddinBoots.wuss #PuddinBoots
Like that one lol
I think they should save it for tRump and his entire gop (guardian of pedofiles) and his entire criminal organization (administration)!!!
He caused the state treasury to take it in the shorts for $200 mil on this. Assuming that they obey the federal judge and shut it down, it would be the end of his political career if he was t term limited already.
I'm so glad I divested myself from fl. It's a dump. Four generations of both sides of my family was enough.
Will Alligator Alcatraz reopen as a tourist attraction?
No. It was shut down because it is in a protected ecosystem. The Everglades are the only ecosystem of its kind on Earth. They were sued by 2 environmental groups with a great record of winning these cases.
Good.
He doesn’t have an ice cubes chance in hell. People hate him as much as the orange prick
He's already stole millions
Following in the bankruptcy president’s footsteps it seems. He learned from the best.
He will be so sad in gitmo for violating the constitution and making unlawful prison camps. It’s coming Ron.
As long as he says brown people are the cause of Florida's problems, he should be good.
Too many people in Florida think he is doing a great jjob. Bigotry runs deep in certain parts of Florida.
Nextdoor right now is full of passionate defenders of “Alligator Alcatraz.” And guess what they are ALL Cubans.
Ugh, no edit button. deathly
Haha thought you meant deafly which is certainly true.
One of my goof friends growing up was Cuban, and they didn't think of themselves as brown people, and they are defly afraid of liberals/socialists.
Yes still have to pay all of those millions in no bid contracts to the GOP donors.
How much have they lost to tourists not wanting to support the DeSantis Trump Hell swamp?
He is simply a dislikeable human...not a good thing in him
It's time for the wife to step into the picture. I think that her ambitions have always been greater than his.
Maybe he can convert it to a MAGA theme park.
I’d give him $5 if he punches himself in the dick.
YES!
Everything Trump touches...
Maybe Desantis isn't so dumb.Wasn't "raise millions then get shut down and pocket it all when no one expects any follow-through" the plot of "The.Producers"?
www.tampabay.com/hurricane/20...
www.udel.edu/faculty-staf...
www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...
So sad, too bad for Florida. This is what happens to cruel states.
I can't believe a judge shut down that gulag on environmental issues and not the... you know... obvious illegality and human abuse. But I'll take whatever I can get; Al Capone them any way you can.
There is some other money missing from hurricane relief that Desantis is being investigated for also.
Internment camps have no place in a civilized society. Shame on Trump’s Admin.
May need to cut down on those fabulous thigh-high white lifting boots, too.
NEVER!
Some Russian or tech oligarch- or Chinese spy is always in the wings.
👆 "budget reflects morality"
He had a historic home torn down across from the governor's mansion 'for security reasons'. He laughed when prisoners at Guantanamo were tortured. He does terrible things to people whenever there seems to be political advantage in doing so. You'd think he'd go far as a Republican.
yeah, but he could easily join a bank board and have a new set of money sources...is that not one of the crooked money ways in Florida?
SHUTDOWN of this atrocity is great, but how about a SHUTDOWN OF THE FKN WHITE HOUSE? 🖕🇺🇲🖕
The people of Florida should sue him to find out what he did with their money.
☑️☑️
Our country owes a debt to the Miccosukee Nation for helping get this atrocity shut down.
Please consider donating to the Miccosukee Nation, or to the Wild Landscapes International project: wildlandscapes.org/board-of-dir...
Oh- thank you! I will donate!
link to Miccosukee Nation? This Floridian is grateful!!
This link has the Tribal Leaders at bottom & there's a way to donate thru this page - but it looks like a casino page and I'm not sure if it goes to the tribal nation themselves, or...? But I'm sure contacting one of the Leaders at bottom will get you an answer. :-) miccosukee.com/miccosukee-t...
I hope FL suffers losses from reduced tourism as well. Sorry to the good Floridians, but I am not going to visit there anytime soon as I refuse to visit states that allow for concentration camps and are part of the problem and taking blue state money. We have family there and I am not going to visit
I have family there too but they’re maga. 😭
Yes same here. And when they ask us to visit I make up excuses. I have no patience
and despite the closing stories, FL just appealed this order ..
Florida man down
Excellent!
An apt metaphor for Gov. DeFascist having made a complete fool of himself on the national political stage in '24.
And trying to pass off Casey as the new Jackie Kennedy.
Thank you Shit Show, for recognizing that Casey is way more Teresa Giudice than Jackie Kennedy.
It's hard to miss....but I'm not gonna hate on Teresa just because Casey is not even in the same stratosphere as Jackie O.
good you reap what you sew
I wish, but I heard rumors his wannabe JackieO wife is going to try a run at governor.
Same. And to think, Ron could’ve given that money to Hope Florida and kept that grift going with his Tacky O wife, whom believes she’ll be next governor. Ha! Nope.
Take the damned thing down. Store all of the furnishings and tents for the next hurricane to hit Florida.
Or perhaps they could convert tent space elsewhere into temp housing for the huge amount of homeless people the Repubs are creating across the country. Of course that would require them to have empathy for those that are suffering. Nevermind. 😢
They got what they elected.
He and his wife have stolen money that was meant for charities and other things. But of course they will never pay because none of them ever do.
I am here for Florida taking it in the shorts. Maybe the citizens will wise up and quit supporting the ghastly anti-American Nazi party.
Pedophile, trafficker and dumbass
Me too
Where did they bus all the guys who were there?
Desantis has been an economic disaster for the state of Florida discouraging investment👍
Hopefully it is not Florida Taxpayers that have to pay for Federally created problems
DeSantis , along with Trump and Noem should be tried for crimes against humanity.
I wonder if Florida feels like they voted for a “winner”.. FAFO 😑 Vote for trash , you get trash! 🗑️
Exactly.
How can they say theyre losing 200 mil on a facility of tents & generators that they pocketed 3/4 OF A BILLION IN A FEW MONTHS WITH. THE WHOLE THING WAS A GRIFT. THEY KNEW IT WOULD BE SHUT DOWN & tRUMP FUNNELED THEM AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE IN A FEW MONTHS. enough caps LoL I want my money back 🎯
Let him try reality tv
These little boys and girls in power gleefully support ideas without any thought or research into the reality of it. I'm having middle school flashbacks.
You know he loved his time as a JAG at Guantanamo Bay gleefully watching the unconvicted inmates get tortured. If I recall correctly they said he was often the one ordering the torture. He just wants to return to those good old days.
I wouldn't exactly say that I'm looking forward to anything DeSantis, but this is an exception. May his political career end at the FL Gov's mansion.
You’re way underestimating the charisma.
He’s never exactly been an honest man. Remember when he diverted $92 million in “leftover” Covid funds to his friend the developer? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Or when prisoners of Guantanamo named him as an advisor and spectator of their torture? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Or when he diverted $10 million in Medicaid to his wife’s charity, as a donation? www.tampabay.com/news/florida...
One concentration camp down, a lot more to go.
A win for the good guys. I hated everything about this. Another one of #Felon47’s tricky gimmicky branding failures. If they can pop out a building this quick, why not make tiny houses for the homeless!
Add to that fact that Canadian Snowbirds are leaving/have left Florida for good....and all in all it ain't looking good for Florida's economy
I love this for DeathSantis.
They'll just blame the "corrupt judges."
1000% he tries to change the state constitution to become like the old mayor of Hialeah, who was called “Mayor for Life.” He’s going to try to set a model that will inspire Conald in order to gain favor and the Pedophile’s backing.
Did anyone ever find the hurricane donations?
What a nice thought. That made me smile.
I keep coming back to-when it's shut down, where are the going to put everyone who's there now? I've not seen a bit of info in that regard.
apnews.com/article/flor...
They will be moved to one of the 90% if US immigration detention centers that are private, for-profit facilities.
And who keeps track?
No one. The cruelty is the point.
tx is rushing to build facilities, there’s a section of Ft Bliss in El Paso once used to house interned Japanese Americans nearly completion to be used again & sadly USCG planes are being used to transport these unfortunate people around the country-we need to be aware of military bases being used
Ron DeSantis has really done a bang up job in Florida. And people moving there won’t make up the budget short falls or reduced funding for Education. Tourism is DOWN and who wants to go to second and third level colleges for high $$$
Imagine wasting $220 million in taxpayer money to build a future monument to national shame.
Looking forward to never seeing or hearing from rhonda ever again
Plus another 15 Millón Dollars for a complete take out process from that location… #FuckTrump #ImpeachTheMF
FL loses it but “someone” walks away with it. As always follow the money.
Does anybody actually think this order is going to hold?
De Santis family has already received their checks for alligator alcatraz. They don't give a shit about taxpayer money. VOTE.
maybe he could ask Disney for a loan...
Felon Trump promised profitable prisons and now they have become the Trump Taj Mahal.
What is the toll of DeSantis' waste of spending to Florida taxpayers, for appalling Ron? Cab Florida get a real governor now - someone significant like Bob Graham?
I'm sure his butt buddy will find him a job in the Whitehouse regime, somewhere
How is Ron avoiding the judge's orders???
He’s building a new one elsewhere.
DeSatan wants a place where mother nature and infectious disease can kill the prisoners--for plausible deniability. He is dangerously evil.👹
He’s not as far as we know. They appear to be breaking it down and removing detainees. He knew it was wrong and stupid. He literally overseen billions of $ of Everglades restoration himself. The judges orders are site specific. He’s free to construct another elsewhere in the meantime.
LOL
Testing....
That their buddy Ronnie. He spends their money well. No empathy
He's hoping to continue living off public coffers by getting his wife elected governor.
And his criminal wife can't support him, now, either!!!
Was Florida jealous of Sarah Palin's Alaskan bridge to nowhere? Republicans are always good at tanking an economy it seems.
Who is going to make them shut it down? They will just ignore the order.
Florida lost the moment they agreed. Thank the stars the local tribes sued. They have my support in any way I can provide as such. Alligator Alcatraz is cruel and unusual punishment.
@ihatehandls.bsky.social
So is the $218M money the state has to give back or is that how much got pocketed?
🤷♂️💸
So help me God, if that money gets used to assail my orifices with that harpy Jill’s campaign ads
I think it’s just wasted money. Like, that’s how much it cost y’all to build the concentration camp, and now it’s being shut down. So the money is spent and y’all get nothing out of it.
Uh…. What were we getting out of it before? We have enough tourist attractions already. Trust.
Fascism. That’s what DeSantis was so graciously bestowing you with…
That $218 million could’ve been used to build like, 500-1000 units of affordable housing…
Sure, but working with multiple contractors makes it less convenient to collect the kickbacks.
EXACTLY! This regime is about cruelty not helping the people.
That would help people!! Rethugs don’t help people unless they massive bank accounts !!!
DeSatan is going to have to live in the real world!
As Casey attempts to mold Ron into a better political survivalist at home camp, Cracker Barrel says it's just too hot right now to replace the old man in their ancient logo with Ron. Casey felt it would get Ron free advertising and back with the base for his comeback. So close.
He'll steal a bunch of money before he leaves office.
DeathSantis lost $300 million of the State Employee Pension Fund by investing in Russian banks. He and his wife have stolen Covid relief funds and so much more. They stole the trailers used in Alligator Alcatraz from FEMA. They are morally bankrupt garbage humans.
I say keep it on standby. You’re going to need a place to hold the many malefactors participating in this fascist shitshow while the Nuremberg tribunals grind on.
He and Casey must have socked away at least some of the bucketloads of donor money he hoovered up in 22/23. I mean the Caymans are right there.
Doesn't his wife still have millions she collected for hurricane victims a few years ago?
These GOP Governors and this administration is spending money right and left. All of these people are grifting off of the detention centers.
I was asking about the funds that Casey DeSantis collected 3 years ago for hurricane victims.
Again! Follow the 💰💵
This does not answer the question.
They can always turn it into an animal shelter, with a few upgrades.
