    You had 2 Democratic presidents since it opened. It’s a legitimate criticism. Trump is using existing infrastructure that could’ve been dismantled.

    Same with the patriot act and surveillance state: the thing that we warned everyone about is going to happen: the President has a ridiculous amount of power that is going to be abused (even more) now. But the bipartisan consensus was that terrorism was worth giving up your rights and privacy for.

              Just telling it like it is. You had the opportunity to close gitmo if you did more and you let it pass through your hands. It’s like you personally put the concentration camp there.

                I have no idea what you’re trying to argue with me about, but sure. Whatever you say. All I was saying was that I have thought about Gitmo plenty of times in the last 20 years. Especially all the times that you apparently never noticed that politicians claimed they were going to close it and then went back on their word.

                  Maybe if you pressured the dems harder then the dems could have beat the supreme court and military industrial complex would have backed down. Congress might have voted to make it law. Etc. Etc.

                  All because you didn’t do enough. Shame on you.

                    Okay, you go have fun with this sarcastic bullshit about nothing I ever said as if I said it. I’m sure you’ve made a ton of friends that way.
