Words to describe those who follow Trump are opportunists and sycophants! Those are the ones that I can print. I have some choice words in German too. At the same time, I cannot help wondering why this obviously criminal ex-president is not thrown in jail and locked away where he belongs. I have long been thinking about the appropriate location for a penal colony for Trump and all of his sycophantic gangster Republican homies.

I used to think of Gitmo in the early years of the past regime. Now, it is way too small for all the traitors to America. We need to look to the Siberian suggestions below.

I have had the same dream for five years. Mine occurs for all to be deported to Siberia.

Yes. I was thinking the uninhabited Russian Arctic Island of New Siberia.

An island might be better than the desert. They can learn to fish and work like other people do.

Zemalya Bunge, is an uninhabited New Siberian Island that is a barren sandy plain. That would be my choice. It has no vegetation and some think it might be sea floor that was caused to rise above sea level.

Thanks for the reference. I'd never heard of it. In regard to using it as a penal colony, there is a problem-could easily be flooded-given sea rise. I found this article about it: https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/147359/sandy-plains-in-the-arctic

Since none of the people I am talking about profess to believe in global warming this should not be a problem for them because it is not real.

Oh. Good. I've been to Siberia. It is a wonderful place. My inlaws live in Khakasia and my niece goes to university in Krasnoyarsk. Lenin was sent to Siberia by the Czar and look where it got hom

Have you heard of Nauru? or Christmas Island?

Expand full comment

Yes. Those are populated islands.

They have been used for years by the Australian government as detention centres for any refugees or asylum-seekers trying to reach Australia by boat. Bad story. I was being ironic. But they are fully equipped with huts, basic communal facilities, guards, and high barbed wire fences.

No twitter?

Sounds like a PERFECT penal colony for our seditious ex-pats!! Perfect for America and the rest of the world. What a delicious dream to manifest.

And I forgot to mention that it's up near the equator - it's always hot, with monsoonal rains...

Oh, Anne-Louise, the penal island "getaway...from us" is sounding better each time you include another description. Sweet Justice! (Tinged slightly with a wee bit of revenge).

Um..one last question—is there a golf course? Or just a nice, giant, hot sand pit?

No golf course - Nauru consists of towering cliffs of phosphate (guano) rising from the ocean, and if they cleared enough of the Christmas Island jungle it would promptly be taken over by the swarms of giant red crabs which are the local fauna. I think everything's there for them, even without that sand pit.

What a dream of a penal colony/island! When the seas eventually rise, our convicts can, at least, cling to cliffs of guano (like trump towers) to survive— and did you say swarms of RED crabs? Too perfect.

Thank you for such an entertaining lift to my spirit! Have you been there?
