The 1979 film starring Clint Eastwood about the daring 1962 escape attempt aired on the local PBS channel just six hours before the president made his demand that the prison be reopened

    Alcatraz was a ridiculously expensive prison. That is why it closed down. Meanwhile as a museum it is actually generating millions of dollars every year in revenue.

    The good thing about this is that everyone who saw the rock movie knows the timing for the boiler room doors so they can easily escape

      It’s a Clint Eastwood movie, not a documentary.

    Consider how stupid Donald Trump is, then consider how stupid one would have to be to vote for him, then consider that those people are all around you, all the time.

    And yet Americans elected this man for a second term, by popular vote this time. He’s not the only genius there.

      by popular vote

      Every accusation is a projection.

      2020 election denial is now a high school standard in Oklahoma btw.

        As in “Trump’s been president since 2016” or as in “2020 elections were robbed in favor of candidate Biden”?

          The later. Also there’s some COVID lab leak conspiracy shit.

          These weren’t the standards that were presented to the public or teachers to review - they were swapped out at the last second from reasonable versions:

    He better not be watching PBS. Not only did he not donate, like viewers like me, he is cutting their federal funding!

    When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals

    I don’t know, SOAD radicalized me when I was a teenager and I would say that this is bullshit from a criminological point of view.
