Chelsea Manning Jailed For Refusing To Testify On WikiLeaks (apnews.com)
The Associated Press is reporting that Chelsea Manning, the transgender former Army private who was convicted of passing sensitive government documents to WikiLeaks, "has been sentenced to jail for refusing to testify to a grand jury investigating Wikileaks." From the report: U.S. District Judge Claude Hilton ordered Manning to jail for contempt of court on Friday after a brief hearing in which Manning confirmed she has no intention of testifying. She told the judge she "will accept whatever you bring upon me." Manning has said she objects to the secrecy of the grand jury process, and that she already revealed everything she knows at her court martial. The judge said she will remain jailed until she testifies or until the grand jury concludes its work. Manning's lawyers had asked that she be sent to home confinement instead of the jail, because of medical complications she faces. The judge said U.S. marshals can handle her medical care. Prosecutor Tracy McCormick said the jail and the marshals have assured the government that her medical needs can be met.
Yeah, we need to make sure nobody else tries to embarass the US Government by showing they're guilty of genocide & war crimes.

You have to remember, there was a time before Wikileaks was just a partisan tool of Russia. It actually exposed real crimes instead of just trying to embarrass a certain party in order to install a puppet president.
Like everything and everyone associated with Trump, Julian Assange and Wikileaks has lost a lot of credibility. His degeneracy spreads. If you don't believe me, ask yourself if there is a single person or institution associated with Trump that has gained in stature and respect.
Oh, and Chelsea Manning is a goddamn hero. No bone spurs on Chelsea. She did what she believes and has been willing to stand up and pay the consequences. It's exactly how people with honor and character behave.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Chelsea Manning is a traitor to this great nation: she exposed the hypocrisy of this nation.
Chelsea Manning is a hero to the world: she let the world learn the hypocrisy of an empire.
Ok, so how do you feel about a coward who lied 5 times
I dunno. I know how I feel about you though based on that one statement, that you represented for yourself.
You're a douchebag idiot who can't help himself/herself/catself from inserting something completely irrelevant in an effort to try to score brownie points.
Drumpf the traitor
yeah, and that confirms my suspicions. You think you're so clever when all you are is a parrot spewing whatever someone else says that fits your world view.

Let us just go with the safe pronoun: s/h/it

Bernie Sanders doesn't work for anyone but himself. He dresses it up in populist left wing idiocy, but his three houses show he is a full and complete hypocrite. He should donate two of them to people without homes. He is the 1% he hates. He hates himself, having never worked a day in his life. Definition:Parasite
Warren is a lying fake Native American, and was caught as such. She claimed native heritage and when caught with less native blood than the average American she claims she never did. Actual Documentation shows otherwise. Definition:Fauxahauntas.
AOC is an illiterate mess and a huge blight. When the founder of Greenpeace calls her on the carpet for "Green New Deal", you know she is bat shit looney. Yes, please keep shilling to AOC and her killing 25,000 well paid jobs that she doesn't feel are appropriate for New Yorkers. That is the definition of elitist snob. She obviously knows better being a fucking bartender what kind of jobs people actually want.
Aint nobody heard of Ro Khanna. How about you point to the other fresh face of the Democrat Party, Omar, the biggot Jew hater Muslim, who the Democrats can't actually call on the carpet because that would make them .... "Islamophobes" and part of the "Zionist conspiracy". Fucking racist assholes, the lot of them.

Do do you know that would be much more impressive if the justice system gave two shits about the war crimes revealed by Manning?
Bigoted transophobe.
Not a she. Just saying.
Yes, a "she". It is a courtesy, like when people call you "sir" even though you are not of noble birth.
If she wants to join the soccer team, or get a female-only scholarship, then you complain about her not being a real woman.
But if somebody wants to be addressed as a woman, its not that hard. For better or worse, it is a social norm.
It's called "gender reassignment surgery" and it is carried out thousands of times a year. Only delusional lunatics such as yourself do not believe somethjing that happens thousands of times a year is impossible and can never happen.
I don't believe that anyone is denying these surgeries happen. You can call it anything you like but in the end it's still castration. I hear of people trying to bring awareness for female genital mutilation, another thing that happens thousands of time every year. That's being generous, it probably happens far more often than that. We consider this barbaric, unnecessary, brutal, criminal, and more, as we should. When this happens to men and we wrap this up in the euphemism of "gender reassignment surgery" then we celebrate it.
There is an attack on masculinity, and men are choosing to hand in their "man card" and get "reassigned". For every woman that decides to get "reassigned" there are 9 men that do the same, so this is largely a matter of men allowing themselves to be castrated. We've gone beyond just castrating men psychologically by declaring young boys as damaged girls, or treating any man as a potential rapist instead of a potential husband. That wasn't enough, now we celebrate the medical castration of men. We wrap it up in happy mouth noises and consider ourselves to be "helpful" in removing a man's ability to reproduce.
This is a sick society that celebrates the castration of healthy men. This will not end well.
