Gitmo Prisoners ‘Thought It Was the End of the World’ on Election Night, Asked for Tranquilizers

BY: Chandler Gill December 1, 2016 10:53 am

Prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay military prison in Cuba “thought it was the end of the world” the night of the presidential election and asked their guards for tranquilizers and sleeping pills, CBS correspondent Margaret Brennan reported Thursday.

David Remes, the lawyer of one of the prisoners at Guantanamo, recounted to Brennan what his client told him about election night.

“He said that many detainees thought that it was the end of the world and felt terrible and that many detainees asked for tranquilizers, sleeping pills because they were so distraught,” Remes said.

Remes said he is afraid that once Donald Trump officially becomes president, the doors will “slam shut” and remaining detainees will not be able to be released.

It should be the end of the world for all of those detainees for having been involved in trying to kill our soldiers. Now.

If anyone needs more proof that the current squatter in the White House is an Islamic sympathizer, and that Hitlery would have continued to aid and abet our enemy, this is it.

I’m thinking Obama will pardon the remaining Gitmo prisoners and allow them into the US as a final act of revenge against the country he hates.

The best thing that could happen to a Gitmo prisoner is not to be released. If they are released they will end up blown to bits.

Anybody else wondering why they even knew there was an election occurring? Do they have flat screens and satellite CNN in their cages?

Another yuge, post-election, endorsement! As an aside, why are these agents of Satan still drawing breath?

Twenty or Thirty apiece would have solved the whole issue of recidivism.

I’d be glad to dispense numerous 9mm “tranquilizers.”

Yes! You beat me to it. My first thought as well. Do they also have free internet access?

Really? How does a story like this get conveyed to the media? The jihads really are this pussy that they request meds for sleeping anxiety?

I call BS.

President Trump will not.

HUH? What are they worried about?

Trump’s victory just makes it more likely that the “Commander in Chief” O’bastid will shut down Gitmo and send them all home before January 20.

And then CIC Trump's generals can find them on the battlefield, and blow them to hell.

(which should have happened in the first place)
