The app for independent voices

Keynes vs. Churchill… I’d like to weigh in on the debate with a different opinion: The Elba Option. This is unlikely to happen because it would require some buy-in from House Republicans to become law, but hear me out: I think it’s fairly likely that Donald Trump, at the end of all of these prosecutions, will find himself inside a prison cell at some point. (For how long, or why, is anyone’s guess.)

Palmyra Atoll is 1,000 miles south of Hawaii. A bill to authorize the Secret Service to build and maintain a comfortable minimum security detention facility there but only for individuals who are provided Secret Service protection by law. It solves a few problems, like “what about his detail?” “won’t people just turn whatever prison he’s held inside into a MAGA holy site?” “what about protests and violence outside?”

Reachable only by Boat Parade. It’s perfect. Maybe the USS John S. McCain can sail by from time to time.

What do you think?
