Louisiana Voice

I guess it was inevitable. Donald Trump loves to refer to himself as “47,” sometimes as both “45/47” in homage to his being the 45th and 47th president. It’s purely an ego thing – kind of like that military parade in his honor on July 4 that drew some 8,000 spectators (we get far more than that at the Denham Springs Mardi Gras parade each year).

So, when Jeff Landry decides to open up a new ICE facility at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, he naturally decided to name it “Camp 57.” Want to guess who the 57th governor of Louisiana is? You got it: Jeff Landry. The dude named it after himself. “Take that, Rhonda Santis, and your ‘Alligator Alcatraz!’ You got your white shrimp boots; I wore military fatigues at Wednesday’s presser. Didn’t I look intimidatingly soldierly?”

Like I said in an earlier post, Landry has never had an original idea in his life.

Frankly, if he’s dead-set on naming it after himself, I think a better name would’ve been “Camp Mini-Me.”
