Obama Commutes Chelsea Manning's Sentence

Finally, some GREAT NEWS in politics, Bradley Manning, whistleblower sentenced to 30 years in prison even after it was revealed she was being tortured by the US, will be released by President Obama by commuting her sentence. It is long overdue, but bravo Obama for finally righting this disaster and horribly wrongdoing of a rigged, unfair military tribunal.

I am so happy for her. Now, to what extent he pardoned her because Wikileaks Julian Assange offered to turn himself in if her sentence was commuted, no one will ever know. Will Assange turn himself in? No, because Assange is dead. Nobody has seen him since his internet was cut off on Oct 16, 2016. They have put out fake videos and interviews that are shoddy jobs, at best. It's amazing how many people have ignored the fact that he has not waved to fans from the window of the embassy like he used to do daily, but why is his internet still cut even though the election is over? Hmmm. All of Wikileaks staff were purged with any data questioning Assange's murder from his release of "dead man's switch" on the 16th, in a panic. They were replaced with obvious frauds that made the offer, about turning himself over to the US if Manning is pardoned so they can act like he is not at the embassy because he is in US custody somewhere, but guarantee nobody will ever see him again cause he is gone already.

Hillary, we see your fingerprints all over this one, along with... Obama, unfortunately.

State Republicans Are Preemptively Blocking Liberal Policies

WTF! What is fucking going on with these authoritarian fricken Republicans and this crazy new policy saying they will preemptively block anything good and keep all these bad ideas and ugliness because they said so, and fuck everybody else.

Legislation

DO NOT SUPPORT OR PASS THESE BILLS!

These are the bills that are currently working their way through congress. Make a note of the senators involved and do what you can to hold them responsible for the legislation they represent.

They need to know the people will not tolerate representatives who live in the DC bubble and refuse to listen to their own constituents, refuse meetings with local groups in their districts, and refuse to introduce legislation that does not always benefit their rich donors.

The senators that sponsor this legislation should be removed and replaced from office or it will be at our countries peril and the residents that care about assuring a prosperous future for all.
