I refuse to believe that "detention center" in the Everglades really costs $450 million. From the pictures I've seen, it's primarily tent housing. I guess the idiots in charge never heard of the companies that actually build manufactured housing for workers in isolated places. Looks like a bunch of people in FL and other places are lining their pockets with those billions POS is handing out.

I don't have a problem believing they're going to spend $450 million.

Oh, I’m sure they’ll spend every cent. I worry about how all the sewage from 5000 plus in that concentration camp will be handled, and where they will get water, food, guards etc.. Are they planning on just discharging it all into the already environmentally stressed Everglades or piping it out to the also stressed ocean?

How truly much simpler and cheaper it would be to overhaul our immigration system to help get citizenship for all the deserving people wishing to be citizens instead of this racist plan of incredible hatred. pal

They'll dump it on site, of course.

If they wanted it done properly and cheaply, they'd tell USACE (army corps of engineers) to do it, they know how, they've got the tents and so forth, and they're used to working in places nobody else will.

When anyone in this grifters paradise says "contracting" they mean "grifting as much as possible", every single time.

Spending? Yes. Getting their money’s worth? Nope. And who is staffing it? Prob better but they too will have to be evacuated if NOAA is able to advise about a hurricane approaching. An article in the Orlando Sentinel today was about the environmental disaster this will all be.

It is amazing what the MAGA base will accept as information from these shills. Utter bullshit, contradicted tomorrow by more, and yet they hang in there (thanks, Fox!). Definite cult behavior.

Human life is human life. Even the idiots, but especially the children.

We keep asking, "HOW STUPID ARE THEY?"

This stupid:

And that's really stupid.

Trump convinced every MAGA they were just special little snowflakes and nothing he did would ever touch them. OMG!

First of all, your artwork rocks! You have a unique style. What is wrong with that? I think your style fits what you are saying perfectly. Zubenorfolk seems to be a Russian troll - I am constantly pointing out his bullsh*t on GoComics (under a different name). It is funny that his intended insult actually was taken as a compliment by you! Good on you!

I am continually amazed at the MAGAits logic - it is okay their children die from measles, it is okay for people to become sick from listeria or salmonella, it is okay to deport people as long as it is not them being deported, and - this one is awesome - due process is being arrested and deported...... really? And if I try to discuss anything with a MAGAit - I am called a “moron”. If I ask for clarification or an explanation - I am called a “moron”. I have no idea how being called a "moron" explains anything but it must be some code MAGAits have….

The USA has entered into some weird "twilight zone" reality - I hope the USA survives it.

I've been hearing that all week, and there are already two comments repeating it on this cartoon on Facebook. I'm sure I'll see it again several more times today, and tomorrow when the cartoon appears on GoComics.

Mike Peterson pointed it out a day or two ago on his blog.

I have not been featured on his blog in about a month or so. Weird.

Whatever, you are still one of his favorites. He's sure not going to be pointing out where you're off-base, and with so many of the others, that is a consideration
