Chelsea is up for the prize!

[pat grimshaw]

Well now we'll see Chelsea make a splash into international media stardom in a highly-artificial and highly emotional Sixty Minutes TV special.

And hopefully the elder "activist" will be invited to advise the neophyte into a reality TV show with fashion hints and "inspirational" stories for the young and confused.

Chelsea wasn't charged with treason----she stole and released info because of what she saw in Iraq---she thought she was doing a service to the country but has expressed remorse----she served 7 years. Trump may yet be charged with treason once he pulls putins dick out of his mouth.

Chelsea wasn't charged with treason...

I tell you that Chelsea will be charged with stupidity. And I do hope that the other attention-seeker —Julian Assange— will get his crazy house in order.

Chelsea wasn't charged with treason----she stole ..

Chelsea is a thief and no-good role model for the young and confused.

 

[Telstra]

oh my god,
why are you obsess with her?

Let her out of jail ... the end.

 

[pat grimshaw]

...obsess...

No more obsessed than the thousand or so threads that you have initiated.

At least Clinton only commuted sentences for his mates, not Chelsea who chose to betray their employer and country and endangered the lives of others.

She looks like she should sing with ABBA. She's cute.

Here's something to get everyone going....you can call him Chelsea because that is what he wants to be called. That is okay.

But you cannot (nor can he) change his chromosomal makeup. He's a he.

He leaked national security secrets. Period. People who think that this isn't a big deal, should volunteer for services in which these secrets make a difference...assuming you are American.

Unless you'be been tested you don't know your chromosomal makeup either. I'm pretty certain you haven't been tested, I suspect you'd consider the very concept of unassumed chromosomes an insult to your manliness.

More than chromosomal makeup involves the definition of sex; further, the qualifiers of sex have shifted over the centuries, often radically and based heavily on societal norms of the time. That includes now. Not that you're unable to look up any of that shit your own bloody self.

Using pronouns that you're familiar with is no mental tax but the refusal certainly shows a basic lack of common courtesy.

I agree. She went overboard with giving up documents including some she shouldn't have. But almost any any crook in the world of politics and business, she's done REAL time (seven years) and hasn't been treated all that well, either. She's always a target not just for what she was alleged to have done but by being a trans female... she probably wouldn't have lived out that many more years in prison.

And the truth is, Iraq was a racket and those who got us into a morass of lies, destruction and corruption have NEVER had to pay with one bloody thing. Chelsea may have well had at the beginning delusions of heroism but hardly was motivated by malice.

This morning when I heard the news that Obama has commuted Chelsea's sentence and that she will be freed in May, I was almost overwhelmed by emotion.

I wish I could see her in person and give her a big hug.

 

[pat grimshaw]

Bullshit.

The government has never been able to show a single loss of life as a result of the leaks by Chelsea. ...

Do you think the US Army has a responsibility to explain itself you?

The US Army is the world's policeman. It has a billion dollar budget and it's set up to be an efficient international killing machine.

It isn't set up to be a crybaby lapdog.

Stolen from facebook, admittedly with a bit of cut n'paste.

"The Today Show is reporting that Chelsea Manning, who has served 7 years of a 35 year sentence, is on President Obama’s “short list” to be considered for commutation.
Here’s the number: 202-353-1555 (a voicemail will pick up)
Here’s a sample script for what to say:
“Hi, I saw on the Today Show that President Obama is considering commuting Chelsea Manning’s sentence. I am calling to strongly encourage him to do so. Chelsea Manning has suffered enough. She deserves to be released. Thank you.”

Did you vote in this telephone poll?

I would really like to see Obama pardon Edward Snowden. He's a hero in my opinion.

He hasn't been convicted of anything. Hard to pardon someone who is technically not found guilty of anything.

Don't have one. I also don't need one when pointing basics than anyone can look up for themselves.

You don't need to have the ability to read the chromosomal dividing pairs in order to research the current events and the past history of how sex and the various dsd's are decided. Chromosome examination is an incredibly recent advancement. The first decider (and generally last decider) is someone looking at your crotch. Whatever nurse or doctor had to do that for you was no geneticist either.

If you think it's all chromosomal reading (or even that a generic sex designation is halfway based on 'Science!', which is never, ever partial to social and cultural mores & expectation, no) then I've a presidency I'd like to sell you. I'd be willing to exchange it for some hard currency. I'm sure it'll look lovely next to your bridge.

Does she still have her dick or did taxpayers pay to have it lopped off in prison?

Sex-Change Regret has been a syndrome in Britain for years because the young and confused can get the taxpayers to pay for their whims.

Bradley wasn't happy with being Bradley so Bradley changed to Breanna 5 years ago.

And after that, Breanna wasn't happy with being Breanna so they changed to Chelsea.

Where did you get yours, Mr. big talker?
