"There's no reason to build this in Guantánamo unless you want to do things you don't think you could get away with on the U.S. mainland. It's easy to put tents in Florida. But they're putting them in Cuba. Ask yourself why."

Fears are growing that the offshore U.S. detention facilities at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, are an ominous sign of what President Donald Trump has in store as he further disregards the rule of law and normalizes actions that previously would have been unthinkable or faces immediate, bipartisan opposition in Congress.

It’s going to be hard to assert your 2A rights once you’ve been arrested and locked in a torture camp.

Time is running out for Americans to stand up if they ever were going to.

they won't.

the liberals in America are always worried of doing wrong, Dems cry decorum and voters cry all sorts of things that make them not vote. I understand the entire problem with Palestine and sending Israel weapons but voting to "punish" the Democrats or not voting at all punishes us first.

we're absolutely fucked it has to happen and we have to learn the hard way
