    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.

          Wow, thank you. We’ve done exactly what we should in this moment of deprivation. We looked to the past and blamed a black man while throwing up our hands saying, “nothing can be done.”

          Well done everyone. Good job. Really pulled through on this one. Thought we might be against concentration camps but how stupid am I to not forsee that the democrats did or didnt do something and now that’s all that matters.

          PM me if you’d like to know how I really feel.

            It’s important that while we are looking for solutions for the now that we also reflect on how it could have been prevented. If this is burned into our memories, maybe next time someone that represents us gains power we’ll force them to prevent something similar from happening again in the future.

              Bitch please. If trump didn’t have gitmo it would be some other place. Yes, gitmo is convenient but you stop nothing by removing it from the board.

              So fucking ignorant.

              How about this, you don’t want concentration camps, vote for the person who isn’t openly fash.

                You’re assuming that critics of Democrats didn’t vote for Democrats. The election is over. I don’t have to worry about swinging any votes by airing my grievances.

            Got it your living in a fantasy land. It would a lot more difficult to expand something that no longer exists. Enjoy your team politics and not holding anyone accountable for anything.
