Yes, the forced expulsion and relocation of thousands of Native Americans against their will, leading to the deaths of many hundreds if not thousands along the way, is just like closing an infamous detention facility and relocating 91 middle eastern men.

Using that impeccable logic, being a suspected arsonist is exactly the same as wearing a clown suit, sexually abusing and murdering young men, and then burying them in your back yard.

Interesting that Issa fails to mention that none of the remaining Gitmo prisoners WILL NEVER BE TRIED BY A COURT and have been held unlawfully for over a decade with no chance of getting out of jail. So screw the Constitution only when Issa says so?

Issa’s on fire! Or, maybe he just likes to set fires.


Man’s an idiot.

Do you even know what the trail of tears entailed? What actually happened?

Come orange county, you can’t do better than this lying used car salesmen?

This doesn’t even begin to make any sense for a number of reasons, but when did a court deny the president the ability to close Gitmo? Wasn’t that Congresses doing?

How many flag officers do you think Issa actually knows or has talked to? What’s that? None? Thought so.

“I can see flag officers resigning rather than obeying a clearly unlawful order.”


So, these flag officers would arrive at a decision of the legality of the order independent of a separate ruling by the Judiciary? Lacking judicial review they'd refuse an order by the Commander-in-Chief, their highest authority in the line of command? I wonder what the reaction would have been if the Joint Chiefs of Staff had told Bush Desert Storm was canceled and he could go to hell? ***THEY*** had determined his orders to conduct the operation were illegal and it wasn't happening?

I love how both the Fox “journalist” and the congressman/grifter convert into presumed fact the unsubstantiated claim that Obama’s planning to close the base entirely. She asks the baseless question, and he goes merrily along pretending that it’s actually a proposal of the president.

And folks like it or not…that shit is going down in America. Issa is perhaps more full of hate then shit…and you can’t keep going on as a nation with that crap in the machinery that runs it. This country is heading in the direction of Italy or Argentina…accepting dysfunctional government as a norm.

Indeed, my first reaction to the headline was, “They should just let Issa burn Guantanamo down. I wonder if they’ve got property insurance on the place?”

If a GOTPtard farts inside the Fox bubble will anyone under 60 years old and outside TPM actually notice?

Yes, and if you don’t like it there are some guys over here that will punch you and carry you out on a stretcher for your impertinence.

Thanks again, midterm non-voters. Shame that most people can’t be bothered to vote more than once every four years.
