Seriously.


Trump has done nothing but praise Assange and Russia since the campaign.


He sure loved those private DNC Emails because he waved them around every chance he got and talked about them at every rally!

Do you blame him? It's sad that so many get more upset that the DNC corruption was exposed as opposed to the DNC corruption.

In the end far too many understood that Hillary was completely corrupt. Trump wins even without the emails. There was a better choice.

"Anybody But Clinton" was the better choice.

I personally think Trump will be amazing.

Selective outrage is certainly a strange thing.
Manning has spent time in jail and was not pardoned...there is a difference between a pardon and a commuted sentence.

I think its sad that people pick and choose when its okay to release private/classified documents and when its not okay. Either its wrong to do so or its not.

It's overwhelmingly right. Rarely is it wrong to expose illegal, corrupt or unconstitutional actions on the governments part, but that didn't address my point.

Right or wrong it exposed corruption within the party.

Well it has been well documented Manning is emotionally and mentally unstable. Supposedly the source of this all ties in with trans issues. Thus in theory gender reassignment treatments and surgery should alleviate or at least lessen some of the problems. *Theory* is the operative word here; in a good number of instances historically trans are no more happy post operation than before. Much probably will depend upon what kind of support Manning receives (friends, family, others) after being released in a few months.


Unlike Bruce Jenner, Manning isn't wealthy, nor famous in any other right than for crime committed. In addition to the dishonorable discharge, being a trans, Manning will also have to live on the outside in a world where many do not like him because of crime committed. That is something which will not be lived down easily. Once the noise over release dies down, what happens next?


Don't see Vanity Fair spreads, MAC cosmetics contracts, Glamour "woman of the year" awards and all the other stuff Bruce Jenner was given after coming out as trans, so Manning is going to be pretty much like every other "poor" trans. Those treatments from electrolysis to hormones, then the various surgeries and medical/psychiatric care aren't cheap.

If they set him free does that mean his sex change surgery is his own responsibility?
