Alcatraz closed as a federal prison in 1963 after just 29 years of operation because it was too expensive to continue, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The per-capita cost of housing prisoners there was substantially higher than other correctional facilities. In addition, corrosion from the salt air of San Francisco Bay means the facility requires additional maintenance to sustain that prisons in other locations don’t.
I thought we were trying to save money
- Fascism 101: never take fascists at their word. Pointing out hypocrisy is meaningless because they never meant it in the first place.
- Yeah, but he also want to put in jail everyone that disagrees with him so they need somewhere to place them.
  
  But Missouri already exists
Someone go jingle your keys in front of the orange dunce...
He must have saw something on arcatraz lately and his stupid addled brain got stuck on it. Good god I hate this timeline.

  Found the WoW nerd
I guess they played The Rock at the whitehouse recently?
- The greatest movie, in the history of all movies! The best. American made.
- "you had me at extraordinarily expensive" DJT
"They're trying to build a prison!"
"For you and me to live in!"
"They're trying to build a prison!"
"FOR YOU AND ME!"
- This prison was made for you and me 🎶
He's fucking demented. Like literally and medically.
I'm tired of just seeing random Trump ideas without any kind of deeper thought or plan behind it. Alcatraz hasn't housed a prisoner for a long time. Needless to say, it'd cost a lot of money to get it back up in action. Is this money worth spending? How much is it? What's wrong with our other supermax prisons in the USA?
It's embarrassing this guy can just throw out these off the cuff ideas and STILL finds fans in the USA.
Everyone needs to stop reporting on anything he just says. Instead, the media should exclusively focus on what he actually does. Did he issue any executive order about it? Did he instruct congress to do anything anything about it? No? Then I don't give a shit, and neither should anyone else.
- I'd rather fight back before he actually takes the action.
  
  But 95% of the time he doesn't take any action on what he says.
  Then he actually does take action on things he never said anything about.
  If you fight back against everything he says, you'll exhaust yourself on so many things that don't matter; You'll completely miss many things that do. Which is in fact the strategy.
  For example his personal crypto tokens. He never said anything about making his own tokens to launder bribes through. Then suddenly surprised everyone announcing a new company and tokens. If anyone in the world buys $25M worth, they'll get a private sit down dinner to discuss whatever they want. That blatant clear corruption is important. And bullshit this is just a distraction.
  
  So how are you fighting back against this action, specifically?
Cheaper to just build one in west Texas.
- He wants to use the brand recognition as an intimidation tactic.
  
  Nah, escape from Alcatraz was on TMC or Nick at night last night
As long as we put him in it I'm fine with that
Fucking LOL. He obviously has never been there.
Are we going to send VX gas?
You're all missing the point here:
California isn't giving proper respect, they have to be taught a lesson.
So, end the global film industry, put a nightmare prison right in sf bay, and just gradually make it clear they can't ignore Trump and pretend he doesn't exist.
Congratulations to Brainrot for defeating Humanity
the insects turn is coming up. Probably sooner than we think. Thats if the AI doesnt get them first.
Wasn't one alleged point of DOGE was to reduce government waste? Alcatraz was closed due to it being a ridiculously expensive prison. Much more than any other prison at the time.
It was this, not the famous escape of 1963 that caused it to close.
Hahaha. Take the tour first and see if it's up to snuff.
Something to waste time discussing that is not devoted to more important things...
It's a national park. Doesn't Congress have to allocate and remove national parks?

Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which includes Alcatraz Island, was established by Congress in 1972.
Well, they allocated it, at any rate.
EDIT: It sounds like they disbanded this one:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Horse_Hill_National_Game_Preserve
In 1904, Congress authorized a memorial park at the site, and President Theodore Roosevelt established it as Sullys Hill Park. Though not part of its official name, it would be called Sullys Hill National Park, the meaning of "national park" not yet standardized, as this site's small size and lack of a significant landmark was inconsistent with other national parks.[1] It was first named after General Alfred Sully,[2] son of the painter Thomas Sully who gained his reputation by carrying out several massacres of Dakota including at the Battle of Whitestone Hill.
On March 3, 1931, during the Great Depression, the United States Congress transferred the park to be managed by the Fish and Wildlife Service as a wildlife refuge, where hunting is permitted with the Spirit Lake Tribe having both fishing and hunting rights. It is one of only seven National Parks to have been disbanded. Of these seven parks, only White Horse Hill and Mackinac National Park in Michigan, now Mackinac Island State Park, are no longer under the control of the National Park Service.
Moron cunt.
"Can't stop, won't stop"
For his political enemies?
COD players to Tom Crooks
The dude is stupid. You could open 10 (or more) new prisons for the cost of refurbishing the crumbling ruin that is Alcatraz. Then there are the operational costs which would follow about the same ratio.
Paxton, don't argue!
