I mean, Biden did at least manage to get it down to just 15 inmates. Which isn't perfect, but it's pretty fucking good.
And I'm pretty fucking tired of people voting in Republicans who fuck things over royally, vote in Democrats to fix things, then vote Democrats out because they didn't fix things fast enough. It takes a hell of a lot more time and effort to build and repair things than it does to blow them up in the first place. What's that saying: Republicans get to be lawless while Democrats have to be flawless. Eff that shit.
And I'm tired of not being allowed to criticize democrats just because republicans are worse. I still voted for them. I should be allowed to criticize and pressure them to do better. Politicians wont do better unless you're constantly on their ass.
I didn't know Biden got it down to just 15. That was a big improvement
Exactly. 15 people in Gitmo is still a moral stain on the nation, but at least some semblance of progress was made. Not fast enough, still terrible, etc.
Trump is vowing to make that - just numerically - 2,000 times worse than the current numbers. And that's just looking at raw numbers, not even getting into the ethics of the people themselves (do we really think they'll be even half as rigorous as the shit level of rigor for former/current prisoners if they're trying to capture thirty thousand people?).
