BIDEN PLANS TO CLOSE GUANTANAMO PRISON

The Biden administration said Friday that one of its goals is to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, which currently holds 40 inmates.
In 2019, NPR reported the U.S. spent more than $6 billion to operate the facility for the past 19 years. Even with 40 inmates, the prison costs American taxpayers $380 million a year. The report said the price tag includes charter flights to the island and $60 million in legal fees each year despite only one conviction.
Jen Psaki, White House press secretary, said,
“In order to see the process through completely and thoroughly, there are a number of key policy rules that need to be filled within the interagency, including sub-Cabinet policy roles at the Defense, State, and Justice Departments, because there are players who need to be part of this policy about the steps forward.” 
The facility has been used to house terror suspects, including those accused of playing a role in the 9/11 attacks. The prison held as many as 779 inmates in previous years. 
TRENDPOST: We note this article not only for the meaninglessness of the statement but how politicians will say what they wish to gain support and paint a flowery vision to their darker side.
While for most people it is ancient history, on his second day in office after winning the 2008 Presidential Reality Show,® Barack Obama signed an Executive Order with the promise to the American people that he would close the Guantanamo prison within a year.
It should be noted that Obama had a Democratic majority in Congress for the first two years of his presidency. Highlighting the hypocrisy of this heavily-covered media show was a photo of Vice President Biden standing next to him, hands clapping. The caption under the AP photo read: “Barack Obama caps his pen after signing an executive order closing the Guantanamo Bay prison, while Vice President Joe Biden and retired military officers applaud.” 
Showing the true meaning of his spirit, who he is, and what matters most, years after Barack Obama left office, the New Yorker reported that he was asked by a seventh-grader what he would do if he could go back to the beginning of his presidency.
“I think I would have closed Guantanamo on the first day,” he said. But he said the “path of least resistance was to just leave it open.”
Yes, the path of least resistance, the cowardly path for pathological lying politicians… who run and ruin nations across the globe.
