Hey, it’s election year. They will do as they say.
So we can rest assured there will be no votes on Closing Guantanamo or confirmation of any Supreme Court nominee until at least November 9.

So obama uses the U.S. treasury to bribe some 3rd world country into taking these dregs who are the worst of the worst, puts them in planes chartered with military funds, and ships them all out

He may not shut down GITMO but he can empty it out and put these sociopaths back into jihad against us

What’s Ryan gonna do? What’s Congress gonna do?

Can we can court martial that deserter and lose more soldiers to the very people Obama released?

Because that tends to be what happens when Dumbo ears lets um loose.

Ryan, Congress and the American people had better prepare for a scenario something like: Obama gives a speech that Congress has given him no choice but to close Gitmo under his own (non)authority. He announces that he has transferred or released all prisoners to willing countries, say Iran. He orders the US military to pack up and leave. He terminates the lease with Cuba and invites the Castros to take over. Fait accompli. Who will stop him?

He’s visiting Cuba soon
Watch for the timing of a big move and announcement that makes buffoons out of congress which is not terribly difficult to do

Meanwhile, Ryan aides are quietly distributing personalized tubes of K-Y Jelly to members of the House Republican caucus.

What torture at Guantanamo? Just because the Left called the interrogations of terrorists “torture” doesn’t mean that torture happened.

Good luck.

The Cubans will have the deed and all the prisoners will be gone before you can say “impeachment”. Which we all know you WON’T do. Including Obama.
