11 Men Freed After 20+ Years of "Extreme Deprivation." Will Biden Close Guantánamo for Good?

[@hunger4jsutice]

This is the reason I stopped practicing law. If innocent people can be held for decades, if torture has no consequence, there was no point in pretending justice exists.

[@bjj6910]

I am sorry you stopped practicing law. (I am not US citizen but have my place in Denmark, they are just as currupt and ego minded as your politicians, unfortunately) I have my joy in praying and practicing law on my own street :) So I stopped watching the never ending parade of politicans who are there because it pays well and they are all very rich on the cost of all others. I read the bible a lot and it makes me happy to hear about God every chance I get. I love God. I am so surprised to learn that the US put out bounties to get anybody as a prisoners ? What! And this is news 23 years later!? Where is the loyalty to us all.

Injustice system (sick of it all) 😮

[@bjj6910]

Hunger 4 justice: I have a question for you, being into US law, maybe you can explain what you think about the presidential rallys where Trump's team started to buy off voters, simply give out 1 mio every day the last 30 days, when there is a law against it, I know the law because I asked AI about it and was told the specific law against bribery during elections. You are not allowed to make anybody vote for you by giving money or even saying that you will give them something for their vote. I was so anticipating the cnn and nbc or abc news to address this, and that the justice system to simply call time out against Trump. Nothing happened. I was looking after some righteous journalist (Jon S.) to come out and call it unlawfull. Not a tweet not a word. I ask, why? Are they afraid of telling the truth, or am I missing something?
