(31,131 posts)In one day an organization like the traitors organization would receive and use more city county state and federal services and benefits than any 1000 random people combined for an entire year would use. The very people he robs by never paying taxes and taking all the services are the ones that are paying the taxes and keep supporting him.
We know the allegations will not bother MAGA, they will LOVE him for robbing the govt. But these braindead fascist nazi assholes dont understand he is robbing THEM!

I knew very little about this until I looked it up today, and now that I know it's in my backyard--somewhere--I'm absolutely fascinated by it.

Deep in the Everglades is Lost City, a place where mobster Al Capone reportedly produced moonshine to keep a nearby saloon jumping in the1930s.
Before that, during the Civil War, about 30 to 40 Confederate soldiers hid out there until they were killed by Seminole Indians, or so the story goes. Some even hold that the locale might be haunted or inhabited by skunk apes. Yet no one is absolutely sure what has taken place at Lost City, a 3-acre site about 8 miles south of Alligator Alley. What is known for sure is that at one time it was a large Seminole Village that was abandoned, giving rise to all kinds of folklore.
Over the past six decades, it has been inspected by state wildlife officials and archaeologists, who have found old, rotted shacks, a canoe, various Indian artifacts and a large iron kettle, used to distill sugar cane into alcohol.
Today theres not much to see at Lost City, also known as Ghost Village, as the site in far western Broward County is covered by thick vegetation. There are no signs or roads leading to it, and you wont find it on a map.
