I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma... - ThreadSky

But that would prove what a failure Trump is. The mythology of his omnipotence is what sells ad time. It took 1/6 to abandon him last time. But in no time, they went back to Mar-A-Lago seeking his favour. Showing the true madman goes against the grain. The fire sale of American assets will go on.

jacksquatto.bsky.social•45 days ago

I listen to MSNBC by Tune-in. It seems the commercials on there come from Florida. Today I heard one from Kristi Noem telling people to just get out of the country if they're not here legally "we're coming for you if you're a bad egg" basically. Probably put on for Trump to hear.

This administration will do everything for a good photo op. the cost doesn't matter 👎🤡

irreverentginger.bsky.social•45 days ago

No surprise here. Trump’s been burning up other people’s money his entire life. He probably entered politics because he could smell taxpayer 💰💰💰. And the MAGA Muttenheads were just ripe for the picken.

roadrunner63.bsky.social•45 days ago

He actually entered the race in 2015 because Producers of Celebrity Apprentice wouldn’t give him more money.
He told Cohen he would show them he could draw big crowds…. It would be the most successful infomercial ever.

Can we deduct the $16M from all the savings DOGE has found?

Where are the other 19,999,960 that were to be deported on day one?

dantheguitarman.bsky.social•46 days ago

Rachel has been covering it

blasphemousheretic.bsky.social•45 days ago

This has been a controversial subject, using GITMO. I wouldn't believe anything they broadcast about it.

porscheflipflop.bsky.social•46 days ago

And over a Million $$ to PUT UP TENTS!! WTF!? Where’s that psychopath musk now?! DOGE can’t cut costs where it actually makes sense?!

I’m really disgusted with this entire country right now.

This is a reenactment of the debacle at Dachau, when Himmler opened the camp, but Hitler ordered it closed after hearing reports from Goering, only to order it reopened after the Olympics had ended

starrfire71.bsky.social•46 days ago

Oh shit, is this why he is so stoked about the upcoming olympics?!!

crystalmariepa5.bsky.social•46 days ago

No, that's too far in the future. Dachau opened less than a year before the Olympics and was closed right on the eve of the Olympics, only to be reopened within 6 months of the end of the games. In this case, Trump got called out too early for his liking so he has to scale back and try again

jardinpolitique.bsky.social•46 days ago

Exactly, and that is intentional. Unfortunately I fear it might be a pilot project, as well.

crystalmariepa5.bsky.social•46 days ago

It is a pilot project. Trump is trying to see what he can convince Americans to go along with. Right now, he's targeting immigrants, and if he can sell that over time to the people, he can expand to include all non desirables

sparkesw.bsky.social•46 days ago

That’s chilling.

crystalmariepa5.bsky.social•46 days ago

It almost seems like Trump is testing the waters, seeing what we'll tolerate and rolling back until he can slip it past us unnoticed

sparkesw.bsky.social•46 days ago

Absolutely.

obijohn.bsky.social•45 days ago

Sad, they had to use the second largest cargo transport plane to get them to Cuba. It cost the tax payers several hundred thousand dollars for each detainee. The Fox coverage was huge. Nothing about transferring to La.

fatgerm.bsky.social•45 days ago

Remember that one time the military was told to install a JLOTS in Gaza?

corscorp.bsky.social•45 days ago

Americans spend billions annually on potato chips alone. Big numbers can be confusing.

lynnrhy.bsky.social•46 days ago

We wonder just exactly what trump had in mind.

alvie2.bsky.social•45 days ago

Don’t they just view it as an AD campaign or meat 🥩 for their base?

aderriere.bsky.social•45 days ago

And they held them in TENTS there.

bluecandace.bsky.social•45 days ago

Here's another story of the two birds-brains who purport to be saving a trillion dollars are actually running up the tab. https://www.axios.com/2025/03/13/doge-tariffs-layoffs-treasury-data

deeedee.bsky.social•46 days ago

How much are they spending on the puppy killers ICE commercials? Cutting jobs, wasting money on explosive rockets, selling cars on WH property, etc.

sarahlang3.bsky.social•45 days ago

Dems fail at MESSAGING-if The roles were reversed the R’s would be outside GITMO -showing it empty and outside LOUISIANA’S holding facility - and repeat over and over again- that trumps immigration crack down is SMOKE AND MIRRORS

thelifeofriver.bsky.social•45 days ago

And also, mainstream media would be covering this. We need to get @briantylercohen.bsky.social to find some one to go and do a report.

sarahlang3.bsky.social•45 days ago

Great Idea I was thinking something similar

anotherben.bsky.social•45 days ago

Shit, give me a camera and a flight and I’ll do it myself, @briantylercohen.bsky.social. Make me your special correspondent for a weekend and we can clear all this up right quick.

angelinwa.bsky.social•44 days ago

You’re gonna need bigger arrows… 😂

anotherben.bsky.social•44 days ago

Lol when they get that place up and running for dissidents, I’m sure I’ll end up losing my marbles in one of their cells. Might as well save the taxpayers the trouble of buying my flight.

I’ll get pictures of the real gitmo out before they take me down though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

angelinwa.bsky.social•44 days ago

I will sponsor the GoFundMe so we can rain down golden parachutes to your cell…!

michelebella.bsky.social•45 days ago

It was a main story in the NY Times this week and on several news and podcasts.

bamamontana.bsky.social•45 days ago

Yep there’s a lady who covers the Gitmo beat for NYT. I unsubscribed months ago but there was a copy of this story floating around.

michelebella.bsky.social•45 days ago

You can read any NY Times articles for free that are related to Trump. They made it free during the election and kept it free currently. That's how I read them.

mayhemfordemocracy.bsky.social•45 days ago

As a Veteran like you, There are more serious and important hush hush violations that needs to get out.

intollerant.bsky.social•45 days ago

They were forced by the court to do so.

traceycavasin.bsky.social•46 days ago

Absolutely atrocious - When will people wake up to hate and so much cruelty -

laurieboy.bsky.social•45 days ago

With a bully it’s all performative, to satisfy a small cabal of like minded bigots, and the electoral minority base.

It satisfies ‘base’ instincts; cruelty, resentment, prejudice, and lawlessness.

mackabiviper42.bsky.social•45 days ago

Earlier this week the news showed one person coming off big military plane from GITMO earlier today they said they brought everyone back from GITMO

mackabiviper42.bsky.social•45 days ago

They flew them to GITMO now they flew them back to the USA this is called draining the swamp by spending millions of dollars

darkglade.bsky.social•45 days ago

Draining the swamp into their bank accounts...

dee-licious.bsky.social•45 days ago

It's all a show to set the stage for the Insurrection Act.

kemccarthy.bsky.social•45 days ago

What? Do you honestly believe the billionaire owners of CNN, Disney, or NBCUniversal would spend a minute on this?

didntcmecumin69.bsky.social•46 days ago

There’s no out house hole to deep for the REPUBLICAN’S to jump into looking for GOLD.

mslion.bsky.social•45 days ago

Don't just 'like' this post folks, REPOST it!! Share the info

driver9.bsky.social•46 days ago

Like so much of what the MAGA GOP does, it was to indoctrinate the MAGA cult sheep. Many of them will swear up and down right now that there are already thousands of illegal immigrant criminals being held at Gitmo.

forestnymphmom.bsky.social•45 days ago

I bet you are right.

lindaofah.bsky.social•45 days ago

I'm very surprised, too. Where is the MSM?

msreyes25.bsky.social•45 days ago

I’m sure they are pocketing that money

bpaige.bsky.social•46 days ago

When there are 30 trillion news stories a day.. we just can’t absorb it all. Which is part of their plan

gmdono.bsky.social•45 days ago

I am consistently amazed by the lack of coverage. I speak with relatives in the Midwest, who are not aware of the swelling dissatisfaction and the uprising of protests on the coasts. They are aware of their own issues, but feel alone in them. MSM is disempowering us by minimizing and withholding.
