I don't understand this Sup Forums. When Chelsea Manning leaked the secrets to Wikileaks, the normies were celebrating and calling her/him a hero. Now that Obama has commuted her/his sentence, they're freaking out calling Obama a lawless president, and calling Manning a traitor.
Why are normies, particularly normie conservatives, such hypocrites? Are they, much like you all, only going against Obama does for the sake of being against him?
He helped grow wikileaks, the org that published info that hurt the democrats. What kind of message is Obama trying to send?
Gabriel Garcia
chelsea?
Carter Richardson
A "fuck you" to Donald Trump?
Cameron Lopez
Apparently you get to choose a new name when you have your dick cut off.
Joshua Russell
You mean when Bradly Manning aided the enemy by breaking the oath he made to not reveal state secrets and revealed state secrets that led to a chain events culminating in Arabs getting mad at the United States so much that they attacked an Embassy and joined ISIS in droves?
Because that was his fault.
Mason Edwards
>normies >cheering manning Please go back to that other web site where the head editor actually changes your posts to be able to bin you on false pretenses.
Jonathan Cooper
Manning was the worst leaker. He leaked things that hurt us internationally but the US public didn't really have to know about because it didn't affect us. The other leakers leaked things the government was doing to America. Really sums up the Obama administration that he pardoned the traitorous tranny over snowden
Ayden Jackson
I'm super confused how a 6-figure elective gender reassignment surgery was approved for this asshat. I must have been asleep at the wheel when that was mentioned.
Adrian Jenkins
It's really simple. Obama thinks he's learnt 11 dimensional left handed chess, and he's fifteen moves behind
Bentley Carter
He decided to become a tranny
Hudson Edwards
>Manning was the worst leaker.
This. Manning just handed over 700,000 classified military document most of which he hasn't even read. The worst things in the leaks were basically a couple foreign civilians being killed by accident in a warzone. Innocent civilians occasionally die in war, tough shit. He should have been put in front of a firing squad.
Snowden actually leaked responsibly and revealed crimes by the government against the American people. He should be pardoned.
Alexander Morales
The US government IS the enemy, faggot.
Brayden Ramirez
"S"he was probably tested by some top secret meds to become a sissy faggot add it to drinking water a whole army could become faggots great method of war.
Levi Williams
The only people who are mad about this are Trump supporters who are mad because Trump is mad and they have to mindlessly regurgitate everything he says
Jason Cruz
Geez! Perhaps because different people have different opinions!
Logan Cruz
wtf now I love canada
Lucas Ortiz
Anything Obama does, the conservatives automatically hate. Obamacare was based on old Republican ideas.
Jaxson Foster
His new name is peyton manning
Mason Nelson
what this leaf said.
my gay friend considered him a hero because OMG CHILDREN DIED. it's fucking war what do you expect. ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
Brandon Lopez
>Snowden actually leaked responsibly and revealed crimes by the government against the American people.
Maybe if he didn't run away to Russia he would have had an opportunity.
Jeremiah Moore
mental health is a part of health
Caleb Bell
He didnt run to Russia. He was bouncing around different countries seeking asylum and was in Russia when his passport was canceled. The only way he can leave Russia is in handcuffs or with a pardon.
Jeremiah Peterson
I thought the Russians were good guys now?
Michael Russell
>him >his >he's >He >he >He >He >he >His >him
Utter shitlords.
Camden Jackson
This guy is literally being raped and pimped by the government to the fullest extent
Eli Cooper
Glad she's out. Fuck the state.
William Morgan
The opportunity to be shot in a robbery where nothing was taken, maybe.
Logan Scott
>he didn't run to Russia, he just went there because he was running out of places to go
Levi Gutierrez
I must say the part when eurogfags force-landed and searched diplomatic plane going from Russia hoping to catch Snowden and deliver him to their lords in america was epic.
Owen Mitchell
>the government I live in is my enemy so I should instead root for Arab madmen and foreign governments
Fuck you. I like my life, and I like this country. There are a fuckton of things I would change but that doesn't mean I want to see our interests fail and our citizens die.
Jose Ward
So I don't have to pay 800 Microsoft points to change my name now huh?
Jeremiah Rivera
>What kind of message is Obama trying to send?
That a security breach doesn't warrant 35 years in prison?
Manning is going to serve 7. That mean's Hillary's little gaff isn't nearly as bad. ;^)
Lincoln Morales
he was still a he when HE first went to jail
Thomas Rivera
nice try comrade. how many rubles are you getting for each post? Or do they still pay you with young boys?
Nicholas Robinson
His punishment was fucking outrageous...
Dominic Howard
It was a very smart move by Obama. For one thing, Manning isn't a threat. She's not some great hacker, she just sat there and copied those files onto a CD in front of everyone and then sent the files to Wikileaks. Also, she confessed and apologized and pled guilty. She was never charged with treason and the government said, in court, that the no one died as a result of the leak, so forget that. Also, she was (I think to her credit) a HUGE pain in the ass in prison, demanding and probably about to get a sex change, getting hormone treatment, wearing girly underwear, and trying to kill herself twice. The Army probably begged Obama to release her. Meanwhile, Assange has said he will agree to extradition when Manning is released. That makes Assange Trump's problem. No matter what he does, Trump is going to alienate a lot of people. If he has Assange arrested and prosecuted, he looks like an ungrateful shit. If he declines, he looks weak on NatSec. And if Assange doesn't agree to extradition, he looks like lying Amy Schumer. This is all a mess that Obama dropped in Trump's lap and said "see ya."

If manning didn't deserve his sentence he shouldn't have been convicted in the first place.
This is blatantly just Obama trying to end his presidency of a positive note despite raping everything previously.
Lame duck faggot who couldn't accomplish anything good.
Ethan Edwards
if he hadn't done it then trump would have.
now the only thing trump can do is release him immediately and (((they))) would spin it as petty.
Samuel Evans
normie conservatives never liked this tranny, only liberals did and liberals don't really care about people, so they're being silent while the neocons vent their rage
Easton Bell
Except he won't. He'll waste huge amounts of time and energy and tweets trying to get around it because his fan base doesn't want that "faggot traitor" to go free.
Connor Cooper
>only liberals cared about her >liberals don't really care about people
Sup Forumscuck logic
Benjamin James
honestly i don't have a problem with obama doing this.
yes, there had to be consequences, because opsec matters. he broke the law not as a citizen, but as a soldier. he deserved punishment. but i think 7 years is enough. he didn't do it out of spite or to hurt the USA. and i do think the penalty should be harsh, but presidential pardons are not 'setting a precedent.' they're just that, exceptions made through the mercy of the president at his sole discretion, and this is really halfway endearing on obama's part.
Leo Stewart
guess we know who you voted for.
sorry war with russia is not going to happen.
Luke Fisher
He means Russia wasn't his first choice, it was his last resort.
Evan Brooks
No, you don't. And I hope I'm wrong.
Lincoln Bailey
>Implying Pence won't take care of this.
Have you no faith in our god of thunder? Bradley Manning will be a living reminder of the horrors of leftist thinking. He and Pence will start a conversion therapy mega corp.
Noah Smith
Personally I'm fine with it because locking up the mentally ill in a military prison is inhuman. He should be in an asylum.
Julian Gutierrez
Too bad he chopped his dik off.
Grayson Nguyen
Maybe they've finished fucking with the poor bastard's head. They're letting him go knowing he'll offer the media some Chris Chan level of blather in a dress. Both his words and appearance will discredit wikileaks in the eyes of most Americans.
Jackson Bailey
*Bradley
Chase Davis
He got 35 years for a crime that typically warrants 2-3 years. It was too harsh. He did his time. Time to move on.
Grayson Butler
I hope she will do some shemale porn. And yes, Manning did right to show the american war crimes
Dominic Wood
Why do they bother reducing his rank if he is being dishonourably discharged? Is it a pension thing?
Wyatt Brooks
>see ya yeah you got it right there...now it's all in Assange's court and let's see what Trump does.
Christian Gomez

Lucas Jones
And an honor thing but let's be really, money trumps honor.
Jason Johnson
He leaked sensitive classified diplomatic cables that had no business being leaked
backstabbing manlet traitors like him deserve the death penalty.
Blake Gonzalez
>get sentenced to 35 years for high treachery of your country >become transvestite >try to killyourself 2 times >get pardoned by the fucking president himself
I wonder how many other criminal scum will try this with Obama and succeed (terrorists, murderers, pedophiles, rapists etc)
Caleb Sullivan
I highly doubt he decided to. Probably some kind of torture, rape, and/or chemical treatments.
Colton Turner
He turned into a girl, and blamed the armies mean treatment of boys who want to be girls as the motivation for leaking the secrets.
Had he leaked them because the government lies and breaks the laws it would have been different. But no he did it out of spite to hurt the government because he did not like that they did not want to treat him as a her.
I value what he leaked but as an individual he is shit and I don't really care one way or another that he is free. At least it gives the screeching degenerate acceptance assholes one less thing to screech about. Kinda like gay marage. You got your way now shut the fuck up already.
Tyler Russell
Manning’s leak arguably changed the course of history. Once secret State Department cables on Tunisia’s corrupt government helped ignite the Arab Spring movement, bringing dramatic and violent upheaval to six nations, at least three of which are still plunged in turmoil.
Tens of thousands of secret U.S. diplomatic cables that pulled back the veil on U.S. policies normally drawn up in private and, in some cases, showed covert support for authoritarian rulers favorable to U.S. interests.
Given the timing of the tranny announcement I'm not entirely convinced that it's genuine rather than a sympathy ploy and, regardless, even if it is a legit case of gender dysphoria calling him "she" or "Chelsea" is affording a level of respect someone in Manning's position does not deserve.
Mason Miller
It's Bradley and no "Her/she" trash, you fucking mongoloid shit eating fag enabler,

Because fuck Obama and the liberal snowflakes. TRUMP 2016!!!

Hey traitors, wanna get away with your crimes? Just say you're trans when you get caught!
Kevin Young
>he didn't do it out of spite or to hurt the USA
He absolutely did it out of spite and didn't give a damn about geopolitical ramifications.
Parker Wilson
How young are you? Tranny Manning had public support since day one.
I never supported him, but I can accept that he did his time.
Mason Powell
So is trump saying he will reverse this decision a joke or was he for real?
Jackson Morales
tss commuted what is it goin to work or somethin
Lucas Price
Meanwhile, in Russia...
The Russian government announced Wednesday afternoon that Edward Snowden has had his asylum in Russia extended.
“Snowden has just extended the term of the residence permit in Russia for another couple of years,” said Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry.
manning is and always has been a traitor. not a whistle blower. he leaked secrets because he thought it would get his lonely, depressed and twisted self notoriety, not because of the moral implications of the content he leaked. he was conned by foreign influence into using his position to damage the united states. he was in essence a spy. obama pardoned manning to cement his presidential legacy as that of a suicidal progressive, when he wasn't really any sort of progressive beyond not vetoing a few progressive bills.
Alexander Wilson
THANKS OBAMA
William Barnes
What he's doing is called "virtue signaling".
He didn't even fucking pardon anyone who was really important, and there was like 273 of them. My local paper tried saying it's to send the message that "America is willing to give second chances", I almost puked.
Also, I just switched my ISP and apparently the last user of my IP got a warning on /s/ for posting ugly chicks in September of 2013 under the name of mobbypython. What the fuck
Lucas Hernandez
Massive faggot commutes jail term of another massive faggot, meh who gives a fuck anymore
Oliver Lewis
feeling ashamed for your flag

that it is OK to leak secrets as long as it hurts republicans

how is that a fuck you?

How long before people start fapping to this tranny faggot? Will he make tranny porn for money?

nice

>Innocent civilians occasionally die in war, tough shit. Then how come USA is so mad at Putin?
Lincoln Cook
Bradley was clearly considering gender transition before ever stepping foot in a jail cell. Haven't you heard of how he got caught?
Basically he was confessing all this shit to an "online friend" that turned out to literally be the FBI
Jonathan Ward
I think it's awkward that they made made him into a prison bitch tranny
Mason Morgan
Him revealing it didnt cause what your saying. If anything it woke some folks up in the US, but do you think those getting bombed and gunned down needed a leaked video of it happening to get them riled up?
Your logic is retarded
Tyler Cruz
I considered him a hero even before he became a tranny. It doesn't really matter at this point. Just like Snowden and Assange, we need more whistleblowers like him. Exposing the shit the government tries to pull on us is vital in the fight against puppeteers like Soros.
Parker Hall
>do you think those getting bombed and gunned down needed a leaked video of it happening to get them riled up? This. Americans really live in a bubble if they think these kind of leak hurt their Army and soldiers. It is the policies that are hurting them and putting them in danger in the first place, and you citizens have the right to know it.
Cooper Adams
Trannies aren't people.
Wyatt Parker
You realize that the only reason he stayed in Russia was because his passport was pulled by the US before he can board his flight.
Jason Fisher
Is that why ISIS got so gay?
Ayden Wilson
He played the lgbtqiwerty card and got sympathy
Jacob Parker
Manning leaked things that were damaging to Bush so brainwashed slaves on team red have to say he's bad just like how Assange has recently leaked things damaging to Obama so brainwashed slaves on team blue have to say he's bad.
Matthew Jenkins

gotta ensure that smooth transition lol
Jayden Sanders

wew lad
nice attempt to shift the narrative but manning was directly responsible for leaks exposing massive corruption in how the US was handling martial law in Iraq, not to mention that the incidents you're trying to pass off as "basically a couple foreign civilians" were actually Russian national journalists
