    Yes. Under Obama, Assange was not charged, because he was considered a journalist.

    Under Trump, the pursuit of Assange was reopened.

    Manning had given material to Assange. It was thought than Assange and/or Wikileaks had helped and guided Manning. Journalist or not, there certainly could be a crime in that.

    The press doesn't get to aid and abet criminal acts. Plus, Trump isn't particularly bothered by going after the press.

    Of course always a clown response or a TDS reference to change the subject.

    You mean the bogus charges made up by a US controlled puppet? They were dropped/disappeared.

    Now the UK is trying the same playbook against the Tate Brothers.

    To be totally fair, I'd wager that more than half the Republicans who strongly dislike Trump are closer politically to moderate Democrats than they are to average Republican voters.

    As such, this "purge" might be targeting RINOS (Republican in Name Only) more than it is going after those who are not Trump loyalists.

    Sarcasm my dear - but, do we not have to admit that Trump is a bit of a "miracle worker" ?! ... While prima facie it might seem that way -- dig deeper and you will find these miracles come about as a function of Biden .. not Trump .. the miracle being that Blue has become so horrifically bad .. that a Jaded narcisistic Reality TV Star looks good by comparison. Is this not a miracle ? I remember back when Italy elected a porn star ... one doesn't have to know squat about Italian politics to know that something was messed up.

    Trump is a symptom of the problem .. not the problem .. he is the ugly zit on top of a horrible underlying condition. In totalitarianism everything becomes a doublespeak lie .. up is down .. down is up .. and everyone disoriented in-between

    You think Trump is going to clean the swamp -- Trump IS the Swamp .. but what a great front-man .. a fantastic circus director.

    Your mission - should you choose to accept it, is to figure out why Blue is even worse than Red this go around -- the swampy swamp even more stinky than the Turd Pile on religious right ? .. this coming from a staunch pro choice .. normally this resolves any question voter.

    Hint- We have a pay to play system -- and as a result we have created, our Gov't is -- an Oligopoly Bureaucracy Fusion Monster ... and as Douglas MacGregor most aptly puts it .. the Donor Class is in charge of what goes on - that in order to survive in this Swamp .. move up the ladder.. one needs have at least some factions of the Donor Class backing you .. Trump no Exception to this rule ! ... and the members backing Trump "Influencing Trump" - are not Russian... Tell me you were not one of those duped by Russia-gate .. some of the most duped being on the Red side for reasons more complicated but what is up with the blue side .. generally not looking like the dumb and dumber side .. Iraq - War on Drugs - Abortion - Christian Sharia - mass violation of rights - freedoms - individual liberty .. and very Orwell Totalitarianism complete with the mass propaganda effort - outsourcing the economy and running up the debt.

    How .. Tell me .. do you get worse that that .. and 2) don't forget to answer the question .. Russia Russia !

    I'm not sure. They've been doing this nonsense since Sarah Palin and will pick back up with Vivek.

    I think that as long as the far left in the Democratic party holds power there will be a right wing of the Republican Party, Trump or no.

    we just don't know what it will look like. The right has changed so much that one can hardly recognize it anymore. When Trump gets done with it....it will be a totally different animal.

    The far left does NOT hold power. The Democratic party keeps their far-left members like AOC and 'squad' in a corner so the moderates can govern. The Republicans label their moderates RINOs and primary them out of the party, leaving only radical extremists/MAGA.

    What is a radical left wing demand that you moderates have refused to grant?

    It’s absolutely insane what y’all are not only allowing but are actively cheering what is happening to your party.

    They gave Israel a fair amount of licence initially. And US still sells Israel weapons.

    I think the term moderate is enough to define one's political views. That is who needs to get involved in the dialogue and negotiations, moderates.

    So why are you pushing the BigLie that somone can't ever take any classified material out of a SCIF? Or that a SCIF is the only way for a senator to get such data?

    Oh, that's right. You actually have no idea how the system works. You were told to parrot a certain talking point, so you obeyed.

    Now, how does TheParty/Russia/China want you to respond to that? You'd best go check what their latest talking points are.

    There was no real choice.... those people had to go!!!!!!

    Donald J. Trump will be President again..... [God willing]..... and simply joining the Republican Party does not mean that somebody can take him off the ballot.
