Hate the guy all you want but he did something right
>President Obama on Tuesday largely commuted the remaining prison sentence of Chelsea Manning, the army intelligence analyst convicted of an enormous 2010 leak that revealed American military and diplomatic activities across the world, disrupted the administration, and made WikiLeaks, the recipient of those disclosures, famous.
The decision by Mr. Obama rescued Ms. Manning, who twice tried to commit suicide last year, from an uncertain future as a transgender woman incarcerated at the male military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. She has been jailed for nearly seven years, and her 35-year sentence was by far the longest punishment ever imposed in the United States for a leak conviction.
Now, under the terms of Mr. Obama’s commutation announced by the White House on Tuesday, Ms. Manning is set to be freed in five months, on May 17 of this year, rather than in 2045.
That's about as much politically illiterate people are out there. I'm talking about people who actually pay attention to politics, not TV shows he visits.
Isaac Murphy
Didn't Assange offer to give himself up if Manning was freed? If true, I don't think Obama did this out of forgiveness...
Owen Collins
>I'm talking about people who actually pay attention to politics That's quite the goalpost shift, but whatever. I'm sure you have a source for your claim, right?
Lincoln Gonzalez
>Start to approve of Obongo's decision >Realize he only did it b/c it's a tranny JUST
Elijah Watson
Yes he did
Nicholas Ramirez
This fucking exactly.
Daniel Lopez
This is accurate. Snowden humiliated Obama worse than anyone else before Trump himself, and it was Snowden that exposed the entire spying apparatus and led to large parts of it being scaled back or declared unconstitutional. Obama wants to strangle Snowden, not pardon him lol
Wyatt Cooper
LMAO obama has a higher approval rating than trump right now
David Rogers
Can Trump undo this?
Would be a no-cost favor to hopefully get the neocons to back off a bit
Juan Stewart
He will still top himself, they always do.
Andrew Robinson
assange agreed to extradition to the US if obama commuted manning's sentence. assange is actually dead and this is how they will cover it up for eternity because no one will ever have a reason to see assange. if the public believes he's in fbi/cia hands, they don't ever have to show "him".
idk if you guys saw the interviews, but there were some yuge anomalies, such as a 4D fucking collar
Aiden Diaz
>trump gets into office >immediate pardon
how BTFO would obama be?
Noah Scott
Trump said that Snowden should die though.
Connor Martin
He did nothing good for anyone while all Snowden has been proven to do was embarrass and reveal the enemies of America.
That's the opinion of the common people, I thought we were talking about those that actually read and study politics?
Noah Carter
Talk about goal post :^)
Two can play this game
Owen Rivera
Because Snowden was in all likelihood working for the Russians. You don't just waltz into a Russian embassy as an American intelligence personnel and immediately get a ticket to Moscow. No, this only happens after weeks if not months of vetting.
Nicholas Gonzalez
Manning is a traitor who deserves death. Fucking faggot.
Eli Brown
Not at all, you were the one that brought this up. Regardless, your original claim was that Obama is the most hated US president in history, the same source (Gallup) shows otherwise.
Lincoln Rogers
Oh well. He could of had several decades of life left by doing his time as originally intended, but it looks like he'll have an "accident" in a few months instead
Okay, maybe not hated, there is the cult after all, but worst for sure.
Or we wont agree even on that ? Just the debt alone...jeez
Jacob Bell
what the actual shit
Luis Anderson
>maybe not hated Well at least you're willing to admit when you were wrong.
Luis Lopez
>torture a guy until he becomes a tranny for years >release him on the last day of office >the right thing
Gabriel Morgan
Wew, are they using the same shit that projects miku to project assagne ?
I mean .. always in dark room.
Leo Torres
Now they will do the exchange with assange as a way of covering up the fact that they snatched him up back in October.
Anthony Jackson
I know when to give up and admit defeat.
I'm not from Doublin Down
Brody Johnson
Yes exactly. The moment I saw manning on obamas short list to commute, then Wikileaks tweet about the exchange, I thought uh oh coverup
Josiah Rodriguez
Well except I don't think they killed him. Although he probably as good as dead. I think they just moved him underground to some torture chamber
Brody Wood
wow a queer anti-American traitor got pardoned
wtf I love Obongo now
Carson Cruz
exactly. its fucking sci-fi shit they're actually using irl to trick the entire world. feels like a weird dream man
Parker Murphy
doesn't matter either way but i honestly think he would've cyanided himself to keep from being tortured
Camden Kelly
want actual vidshow
Jaxon Martin
...
Gavin Smith
>Hate the guy all you want but he did something right
When the president tries this hard to save his legacy. He will go down in history as a worse embarrassment than Carter. Watch trump reverse the commute on Chelsea Manning on Saturday.
Tyler Roberts
Obama is desperate for PR and a legacy
Isaiah Miller
Obongo gets one thing right after two terms at least.
Looks as fucked up in the youtube video as it does in the image capture.
Jace Harris
Obama is beloved by all americans, only white supremacists dont like him
Jason Wright
>Looks as fucked up in the youtube video as it does in the image capture. Because it's from the fucking youtube video and you cannot into youtube compression.
Jacob Jones
been up for 2,5 months, they're not going to take it down
