By Apollo Go To PostI'm against the death penalty 99.9% of the time. This time tho? Shoot Manning in the fucking head and put her out of misery.
Casual googling suggests that the last person to have been executed by court martial was this guy:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_A._Bennett
who raped and then attempted to drown an 11 year old girl. Presumably, since 1961, we've had more men and women in uniform who have committed similarly heinous crimes but have not been executed. It'd be bananas if you think Chelsea Manning's crime is commensurate with this guy's.

SHE CANNOT BE CONFIRMED
By Enron Go To PostI think now we are getting a glimpse of the contempt that Obama harbors for our Armed Forces that he couldn't let out while functioning as commander-in-chief.
He makes me sick.
Man stfu real contempt would be to put them in a ground war so they could die and as a result become a PR stunt to help his polling numbers.

that was cool. definitely still not having people die out there for no damn reason. nope. dude got libya hot and ready for us too. that's gonna be fun in a few years. "no comment"ed right the fuck out on yemen too despite ships catching actual heat. operation saber rattler in germany is real cute after taking a massive portion out of NATO just a few years ago.
breh lets not lol
But we all know Chelsea's leaks were disproportionate by comparison to what other leakers have done.
What's done is done, but the timing for this sort of thing given recent events is really strange, and I don't know that the message here serves anyone favorably.

Manning was tortured for seven years, she's served her time and was going to die if she stayed in prison.

I'm reaching the point where I'm almost certain Gabbard is a Hindu Nationalist.

sorry, should have only linked to. It was posted on the news website so a part of me just assumed it was ok to link
Man... okay.
Since this site has been up, there have been numerous violent videos posted (none nearly as bad as that, don't do it again). And its not just a localized thing either. Major media outlets are moving the line back further and further when it comes to laying it all out there. However, with -zero- context, its a complete no-go. At that point you're just posting for shock value.
Like a lot of things, its case by case. The reporter and camera man killed on-air, videos from the recent bay area fire, the France attacks, etc. For the sake of all viewing and posting though, post a link with a description, appropriate context, and most of all consider if it's actually worth it.

Found a group to protest with tomorrow at Auditorium Shores downtown Austin. Also going to attend the Woman's March on Sat.
I'ma have a Black Lives Matter sign and some type of anti Trump poster not sure what it will say.
Suggestions?

Yeah, ok. Thanks for the Gaby-level response.
Edit: Did someone actually link to a fucking school shooting video?

We know there's zero political upside in bagging Trump for lack of style or whatever, but this inauguration is going to be pretty astonishingly tacky.
And it's a lock that he's going to claim it was in some respect the biggest ever. Watch him RT a photo of Obama's crowd.

While I'm sure a not all Arabs feels this way I'm encountering a lot more who feel trump is a great thing as the USA will stop meddling in middle eastern affairs, maybe a simplistic view but I can see there point.

Pence and the defense lobby won't sit back and allow billions of dollars to disappear. There's a war economy at stake and somethings got to go.
Also, I doubt Trump wants the title of bloodiest President to remain with Obama. "I'll show that black motherfucker...etc".

Without sounding uneducated, I didnt know this. How has he got that title
Inaugural chair Barrack says "if it were up to Donald Trump, he'd be jogging the whole 1.5-miles" of parade route
Man, the cover-up when Trump has health issues is going to be sensational. I mean, he already has diminished capacities in so many respects. But organ failure is comin.

It's easy to knock off high ranking Al Qaeda operatives when you're blowing everything up where they've been seen. Lockheed, Boeing and Northrop etc. were big fans of Obama.

The odds of major conflict went up hugely with Trump's election.

This kinda was kind of my go too point, which was immediately rebutted with fine leave us to get on with our own shit, right or wrong good or bad etc.

Only difference is that under Trump our meddling is likely to be in cooperation with Russia.

Bingo. Also no longer taking in refugees. Probably the further demonization of Muslims in America as well. I'm curious if he capable of getting into conflicts with both the middle east and in the pacific.
The Girl Scouts are marching for Trump's inauguration. A club for young girls will march for a president who's been recorded saying "I'll be dating her in 10 years" to like an 8 year old.
Proper bizarre feeling to have the US and the UK at such tipping points simultaneously
Constant and desperate damage limitation will almost certainly be the name of the game for the foreseeable future

D.C. Police and body cam usage for the protests.
D.C. police officers working Friday’s inauguration and Saturday’s Women’s March on Washington will have their body cameras turned off but must switch them on if they witness criminal behavior or interact with the public, according to already established department directives.
In anticipation of demonstrations, several Washington law groups on Thursday said they will offer free legal assistance to demonstrators arrested during the events. Organizations including the National Lawyers Guild, the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, D.C. Law Students in Court, and Law for Black Lives, D.C., plan to have lawyers, paralegals and other staff members on call and have established a hotline.
America fucked up royally,

No more talk to hide behind anymore, all action
At this point all I really have is the schadenfreude from reading articles about Trump voters losing their healthcare to keep me going. I suppose trump voters losing SS or Medicare benefits will also help.

I'll probably still get a box of Samoas, but they won't taste as good this year.
