This is good, but they would just hire an army the size of ICE to do the application for them. I suggest that we make them re-apply in person at this particular DMV in Charlotte,NC, on a Monday morning. If they don't complete the application by 9:00 AM the must return the following Monday.

(Reading over this I have come to realize that I have enjoyed Terry Pratchett too much.)

Mary Roeser's avatar

Brilliant! Failing that, make them re-apply in person, no substitutes allowed, at one, and only one, DMV in each state. Keep the list of the DMVs secret. They just have to go to every single one in their states until they get to the right one. And they have to do it by 9 AM Monday. They have one, and only one, shot at getting it right. If they go to the wrong DMV, they lose their tax cuts forever.

There is no problem with private jets. Then could land at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport. It was used for training commercial pilots. Only 36 miles from Miami. That is where Alligator Auschwitz is located.

They would have to file an official flight plan that is approved by congress. That would take years in some cases.

They need to be out there wearing the MAGA hats, no sun block, no bug repellant, guarding against the alligators and the pythons. No guns allowed. Or, as an alternative, picking veggies in the Florida heat. picking up trash along Florida highways (there is a lot of trash).

The only problem with that strategy is that many or even most of the current inmates are good and kind people. They probably wouldn’t be willing to treat those who imprisoned them with the same level of evil they have received. Many of them are actual Christians who believe things like “visiting the imprisoned” and “feeding the hungry”. Of course if they did that maybe some hearts would be changed… whoops!

The Orange King left Morristown, NJ last night via a smaller Air force one. This requires the shutdown of highways and roads for an hour around the airport as, not one, not two, but three military helicopters come up from his golf resort in Bedminster. The first, i have to assume, is used for target practice below. The other two are next to each other if they get the call from the first
