Picture New York harbor’s historic immigrant portal of Ellis Island repurposed as a penal colony.
Given where certain criminal investigations seem to be heading in the Southern District of New York, Herr Twitter himself may soon be charged with a felony, or two.And because more Trump cronies and fellow travelers may also be indicted in the next year or so, Congress needs to fund this special custodial facility pronto.
This special lockup—Camp Trump—would, in effect, shield run-of-the-mill convicts from undue exposure to the Trump crowd’s exponentially viral strains of greed, deep-rooted mendacity, carnal impulses, swindling, cheating, manipulating, and thievery endemic to Captain Clorox’s corrupt circle of Cabinet members, conmen, grifters, criminals, admirers, toadies, assistants, advisors, cronies, enablers, pirates, attorneys, and hangers-on, as well as Himself.
Charter residents would include convicted felons Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Michael Cohen, and Roger Stone, possibly the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre and Breitbart’s Steve Bannon.
Although she’s violated the Hatch Act often, Kellyanne “Alternative Facts” Conway likely won’t be a candidate for Camp Trump (she’s suddenly bailed). Later arrivals could include inept fixer Rudy Giuliani, uncommonly stupid Don Junior, mephistophelitic aide-de-camp Steven Miller, and son-in-law Jared Kushner.

Hi Gren, Don’t hold back. How do you really feel?
Karen O'Connor says
Point taken but what a choice! This is a man who despises immigrants. How about Hart Island in NYC instead? Look it up. Much more appropriate for the morally bankrupt.
Gren Whitman says
Thank you, Karen!
Ha, ha! I did look it up!
Here’s what Wikipedia sez:
“Hart Island’s first public use was as a training ground for the United States Colored Troops in 1864. Since then, it has been the location of a Union Civil War prison camp, a psychiatric institution, a tuberculosis sanatorium, a potter’s field with mass burials, a homeless shelter, a boys’ reformatory, a jail, and a drug rehabilitation center.”
So a small penal colony for Trumpsters, including Herr Covfefe himself, would fit right in with the island’s history.
Considering Himself’s sociopathic aversion to immigrants, Ellis Island might possibly serve to re-educate him. He might be permitted to visit its museum, always an instructional experience on the road to recovery.
On second thought … nah! He’s un-re-educatable.
