It's not good, Assange is a foreign actor, he's not entitled to game our political system. It is only accidental that you happen to agree with his views, next time the situation could be reversed. Draw the line where it should be drawn: US citizens.
The Bernouts got screwed by the superdelegates, but the courts are throwing them a bone. Make democrat voters who are so inclined into supervoters.
So Ricter, the US governments whistle blower program only applies when it suits itself? I am not attacking your voting choice - I understand well the colossal asshole you are trying to prevent from winning the WH. My point is that when justice and truth is compromised, we are on a slippery slope of bad momentum to the Dark Side. http://www.whistleblowers.gov/
I hope you're not inferring that I agree with Assange simply because of my opposition to Clinton as President. I know you have been here long enough to know that I have taken issue with both sides of the isle whenever the B.S. was so painfully obvious. I have railed away against the criminal activity in corporate America. So please, lets not pretend that I am blindly partisan on this particular issue. More importantly, what Assange is providing is not simple opinion, in which case I would agree, who cares what he thinks. These are facts, evidence of corruption at the highest levels of our government. We should not, not a single one of us care where the truth comes from, especially when that truth exposes such activity which compromises so much we need to protect. This is what the press, the so-called MSM should be doing. Instead they are quick to play the opinions while providing cover and/or ignoring actual evidence. This is exactly the opposite of what they are tasked to be doing. One must ask why is that? The answer is obvious. They too are bought and paid for. They are as much part of the problem as the corrupt politicians they should be exposing rather that protecting. This election cycle they will say that the stakes so high, the threat so grave, that they must now "bend" some journalistic integrity. They must now chose a side. This would be laughable if not so tragic. They have been providing cover for Clinton corruption long before a Donald Trump ever came on the scene. Years before. Some would say decades before. What all this means is we the people are left with the Assange types to expose the criminals. We cannot depend on our "free press" to do the job which they so willfully ignore. It is what it is brother, and what it is should give us all pause when considering what we're being fed day in and day out by the media.
I acknowledge your balance. As for Assange, if he were exposing the "criminality" (I beg the meaning of the word because much of what I've seen just looks like ordinary political machinations--it's always been a dirty business, maybe the dirtiest) of the rep party, too, I'd be a lot more sympathetic. Particularly since he's openly said he's out to get Clinton.
Sure, they're all doing it is the usual excuse. However, when they are so blatant about it, so completely indifferent, they get caught. Caught like former Gov. Blago who is doing 14 years for the same game Hillary is playing. Jesse Jackson Jr. was a player too. He did 18 months. Numerous politicians have played this game over the years and many have been sent to prison. Many more were at a minimum forced to resign. Apparently Hillary's punishment is to run in a contest of who do we hate more, trust less, and are all sick to our stomachs about this choice put before us. For those that shake their heads in disbelief about the Trump nomination I must ask, is this candidate, Hillary Clinton, the best you can come up with? Really? Of everyone out there, she's it? And then you have the nerve to question the integrity, the very sanity of the Trump supporters. I'd post a big LOL if this wasn't so fucking pathetic.
August 16, 2016 Sanders turned out to be a big fake By Silvio Canto, Jr. Senator Sanders's socialist nonsense was always followed with the footnote that Sanders was genuine and a true believer – i.e., the crazy leftist uncle in the attic who actually believes that Marxism works if you give it a true chance. We've learned a couple of things about Mr. Sanders since he endorsed Mrs. Clinton: 1) He threw his supporters under the bus by supporting a candidate who represents everything he spoke about, from crony capitalism to connections to Wall Street. 2) Mr. Sanders likes expensive homes just as the rich folks do. Mr. Sanders just bought his third home, and we don't think he will be turning any of them into shelters for the homeless or accommodations for refugees from the Middle East. My guess is that he will also take advantage of all of those tax breaks he ran against during the campaign. According to NPR, Sanders is turning off a lot of his supporters: Bernie Sanders may have found a new place to take a break from the political arena after buying a vacation home last week. But some of his former supporters were questioning his socialist authenticity. Sanders recently purchased a lake-front home in North Hero, Vt., his home state. The $575,000, four-bedroom home includes 500 feet of Lake Champlain beachfront on the east side of the island, according to the Vermont newspaper Seven Days. The purchase makes this Sanders' third home, and after the news broke of his recent purchase, the Internet became a breeding ground for complaints. Socialist authenticity? In fact, this is how a lot of socialists live, from Cuba to North Korea to the American left, who love public education but send their kids to rich private schools like the Obamas, the Clintons, the Kerrys, the Gores, and so on. I am not surprised that Mr. Sanders would bash rich people in front of fickle students and then buy a huge home to relax. He is actually a lot more typical of rich socialists than his supporters realize. It's a shame that his supporters had to learn that the whole message was a fraud this way. As my late father once said after watching a Sanders rally: "At 18 you believe this trash. Then you grow up..." That's right. Bernie's home is a teachable moment for the thousands who bought into his distributionist nonsense! P.S.
