Oh, and this!

It holds only five thousand at a very high cost to taxpayers. I'd prefer they stop coming here illegally.

[goaded]

"They're putting illegals up in five star New York hotels!" (they weren't). "Let's build a place that costs hundreds of dollars a day per inmate!".

"The remote facility, composed of large tents, and other planned facilities will cost the state around $450 million a year to run, but Florida can request some reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency".

This is so funny they were talking about this on the news. I thought they’re talking about the Everglades actual alligators

[Dongie]

Yeah, I just ran across it on YouTube.

[Iron_Man]

interesting

[Dongie]

It is but holds only 5 k at 450 million a year.

[Iron_Man]

They are still talking about it again this time I focused on it it’s a jail for a illegal immigrant right in the middle of the Everglades, surrounded by alligators in the swamp but the land part portable detention centers, holding place until they can get them deported back to their own country

[Dongie]

Yes, that's it.

[Dongie]

Are you near South Florida? That's where the Everglades are right?

[Iron_Man]

I’m about 30 minutes away from there driving I’ve been to the Everglades many times

[Iron_Man]

Depending on traffic

[Iron_Man]

They actually let them run free and they get on the boardwalk walk way stray alligators

[Iron_Man]

It’s fun. They have airboat rides too around there. It’s b st to go around November December because there’s too many mosquitoes in the summer time.

[Iron_Man]

Best

[Dongie]

That sounds dangerous. I guess nobody's been hurt or they would close it up. I hear there are a lot of pythons around the Everglades that have been turned loose from people getting afraid of them when they got big.

[Iron_Man]

i’ve heard that too, but I’ve never seen one a python. Most of the alligators on the boardwalk are not real huge medium size alligators tame I believe people feed them they seem laid-back passive

[Iron_Man]

My brother, actually was touching an alligator on the tail it hissed

[Dongie]

Hah, like Steve Irwin. Crocodile Hunter!

[Iron_Man]

Yeah but he didn’t grab it like that. he Just touched it on the back of the tail and it hissed but it was impressive because he’s not used to being around alligators that close and you never know what they’re gonna do

[Iron_Man]

they could turn around fast and run at you, but the alligator 🐊 just hissed

[Dongie]

Yes, they can move faster than you expect. Especially in water.

[Iron_Man]

Yes, but this was on the land

[Dongie]

Yeah, the boardwalk.

[Iron_Man]

Actually, close to it very close on the land to the boardwalk

[Dongie]

Ok. 🙂

[Iron_Man]

Yes, sir

[Dongie]

You Iron Man, I just thought about when I first barged in on g@g. I assumed you and Pepper Potts were married. I bet she is pretty. Nice lean body and long legs.
Hah! I'd never been on a site like this.

[Iron_Man]

Who is that link me please

[Dongie]

@TheRealPepperPotts
She is sweet as pie that's why I don't follow her. She's too much a lady for my brash ways. She lost her husband a few years ago at about 30 years old. It's tragic

[Iron_Man]

I’m sorry to hear that

[Iron_Man]

I talked to her before a little tiny bit. I think she’s Christian.

[Iron_Man]

she hasn’t posted in two months according to what I’ve seen

[Iron_Man]

what makes you think that she was married to me

[Dongie]

The names! 😅

[Iron_Man]

Thanks for the award, my friend

[Dongie]

You got it!

[sage2021]

One of my biggest pet peeves has always been that things must be FAIR! What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Unfortunately so many things anymore just aren't fair - like in the flag burning video. That really gets under my skin!
We live in a very unfair world anymore! Who's in charge of changing the rules?

[sage2021]

Thanks for the MHO 🙂

It opens July 1st here in Florida
I think it’s pretty cool actually

Alligator Alcatraz is about 50 miles from where I live. It is on the Collier- Dade County Line in Florida in the Big Cypress National Preserve in the Everglades. It is an old Airport where there was going to be a Regional Airport built there in the early 1070s. The goverment stopped it for environmental reasons and bought all the land and made a National Preserve. Exxon did have a good size oil field next to it in the 1980s. The oil field still might be producing. If the illegals escape they aren't going too far especially now being it is the wet season. I - 75 is far north of it and US 41 highway is a good way south of it.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yes, I have. I think most of the dems should be rounded up and sent there.

[Dongie]

Isn't that what it's for? 🫩

[FunkyMonkee]

I thought they were leaning more towards illegals.

[Dongie]

They are. Just foolin'' about! Said Ringo.

[FunkyMonkee]

Either way, ya can't go wrong.

[Dongie]

True that!

[FreyaRed]

I think feeding alligators with illegals is animal abuse.

[Dongie]

Good one! 🫩

[exitseven]

Florida should be the model for the whole country.

[beefcakebradybatson]

PLEASE send DeFascist and Agent Orange there !!!

[NathanDavis]

don't make me watch videos Dongie!!

[Dongie]

Awe, it's a couple minutes. ✌️
