After the deportations are done, when the economic crash is looking much worse, he’ll need enemies of the people to turn on - and who knows how brutal things might get then.

The aim may well be enough to delay elections indefinitely, which would require a lot of blood. It may not stop.

The first year of many.

After the deportations are done

Is it reasonable to assume that they will be “finished” at some point? AFAIK the nazis were still deporting people right up until 1945.

That assumption is based on the decorations being the objective. They aren’t. They are just the beginning of their agenda.

Guantanamo Bay currently can hold about 200 people. They are currently building a facility there that holds 30,000 people. For context, the average maximum security prison holds 800-1200 people. The largest, in Angola, LA, holds about 5000.

So they are building a facility to incarcerate about 6 times what our largest facility holds, which is already several times larger than average. Even following 9/11, when we thought there were terrorists hiding around every corner, we didn’t feel it was necessary to build such a huge prison. The Gitmo facility will be far from the prying eyes of family, lawyers, courts, and especially the Media. If the court demands someone be released, and they choose to defy the court, who is going to go there and break that person out?

They obviously feel like they are going to have to imprison a LOT of people at some point, and NONE of them are talking about it at all. Neither is the media. In fact, I’ll bet 99% of America have no idea that such a facility is being built.

Who do they plan on sending there, and for what reasons? The media needs to start talking about this.

Here’s the executive order:

Expanding Migrant Operations Center at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay to Full Capacity

Here’s a solid article about it:

Trump orders opening of migrant detention center at Guantánamo Bay This article is more than 8 months old President signs executive order instructing preparation of facility to house 30,000 immigrants at US naval base in Cuba

A bunch of construction contracts have been awarded, and construction is under way. Interestingly, it is due to be completed in 2029, AFTER Trump will be out of office, and not able to play with his shiny new toy.

Maybe I should have tried to be a dick? Who wants to fact check everything they read about on the internet? Sometimes it’s nice to see a source along with a big claim. Maybe it’s just me.

Thanks for the source, but you can keep the rest.

I wasn’t being a dick either. You asked for a source, I gave you a couple of good ones to prove I want just making it up, but I’m not here to do ALL your homework for you.

I’ve seen how MAGAs will waste your time chasing sources they won’t accept, so I tend to do the minimum, and let those with good faith use the key words (Guantanamo Bay New Prison+) to find out more.

It’s not like it’s hard, like you have to drive to the library like the old days. The source for any question you have is literally in your hand, on the same device you are asking the question to. Type in those keywords, and you’ll have all the answers you want.

The good news is by looking it up yourself, and not relying solely on the sources that some schlub from the Internet offered up, you might find some other information that the schlub didn’t want you to know. That’s how you use Critical Thinking Skills - don’t rely on what you are told, go find the original sources, and be your own news media, and draw your own conclusions outside of the Conservative Propaganda Machine, or whatever the idiotic Dems are doing.

I’m not being a dick, man, I’m just trying to teach you to be a better citizen. Questioning a statement is good, refusing to do the work to verify or refute the statement, is lazy citizenship.
