USA, human rights only for those which have enough money to pay for it.
If you're not rich are you even human?
Sure doesn't feel like it
You are not in too much countries, there poor people are only annoying subjects.
indeed
I would love to see someone give 10000s of US flag blankets to homeless people everywhere
I would love to see that a country give homes to the homeless, like Norway does. A fixed address is the basis of everything else for a possible social recovery. Handing out supplies and food from Caritas cannot ever get people off the streets. It is a shame and a failure for any state that wants to call itself first world, to have so many people sleeping on the streets, while they spend billions on military projects and only worry about percentages in the stock market.
All of a sudden, flag laws would be a very hot topic.
You can mess up the colors, cut it into a skull logo stolen from a comic book, but don't dare use it as a blanket, that's just wrong.

Yeah we fucked that up. give us a couple of years and we'll even that payfield out until only the 1% have human rights.
All right wise guy. Where do you suggest we run our torture camps??
Wall Street?

Technically because it's on Cuban soil, we can blame Cuba for it.
Technically, we should blame Congress for it.
Obama issued an Executive Order to close Guantanamo Bay in 2009. Congress prevented its closure as a “matter of national security.”
Obama could have used executive action to shut it down anyways, diverting resources and personnel to pack up and get out.
He just accepted the excuse so he could keep doing what he wanted to: funneling money from the working class to finance.
He did. Congress blocked it. Our checks and balances at work…🙄
Obama's EOs were a slow walk bureaucratic attempt, basically how you try to avoid actually doing something by making it easy to stymy. Same as Biden's broken promise on cancelling student debt. One stymied by the obvious avenues to do so, they can just sit back and let partisans repeat the excuses. They did not make real attempts to force the issue.
Here's a liberal-friendly summary that largely just repeats the words of federal and party bureaucrats: https://web.archive.org/web/20240902004637/https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/08/01/why-obama-has-failed-to-close-guantanamo
Also didn't he remove Cuba from the "list of sponsors of terrorism" for a while?
Big brain move by the us
Look at what you made me do vibes
Well I'm pretty sure the LLC that owns the prison is under a Cuban person's name
But its a LLC, so they have no liability!
Conclusion: The prisoners did this to themselves. 🤓
