Maybe once upon a time it was? Now it's just Assange and his cronies flipping out and screaming about the corrupt US government trying to silence them. Because the sex assault charges that Assange is running from are really a Trojan horse to put him on trial for secret leaking, you see.

They also dumped a ton of Turkish emails sent to the government during the coup without reading any of them, since none of them can read Turkish. It's just tons of personal information of average Turkish citizens.

Wikileaks may have been good once. They're incompetent dullards now.

A shitshow. That's all this was, a shitshow.

To be honest, I don't know how anyone takes this man seriously. He actually is a comic book villain, working with Russia, siding with North Korea against our allies, and willing to set the world on fire because of the fact that he got proven wrong about a dude's birth certificate.

I can't make this poo poo up. Manafort has deep ties to Russian Politics, advocating on behalf of Viktor Yanukovich. Newt Gingrich called one of our most reliable NATO allies 'a suburb of St. Petersberg'. Trump himself said that Korea would be unified if we weren't there, and has poo poo all over NATO and the security it provides not only to our partners but to world stability as a whole, including the price paid in blood by our NATO partners in Afghanistan and Africa.

That's even before the shitshow that was the convention. Plagarized speeches, meandering talking points, zero clarity on his plans moving forward, a literal televised court calling for the imprisonment of political rivals, and the worst, most dull and boring poo poo inbetween. It was the political theater equivalent of a trainwreck, with all the cars holding manure.

And his final speech was the primary run condensed into 75 min of rambling, meaningless buzzwords. Not a single moment of clarity, of realization. Just consistent banging on the monolith, calling for the blood of his enemies.

The scope of it would be awe-inspiring if it wasn't so nauseous. A petty feud writ large, outlined in tiny handprints and the failed birther movement, that threatens to burn the world.

gently caress 2016.

So the US pays a bit more than other countries, but in return it gets leverage to coordinate economic policy. So a US citizen can get a Visa and do business pretty much anywhere in the world, and can set up favorable trade deals. And if the US doesn't want to do business with you, it can coordinate sanctions against you, like what happened with Russia after Ukraine.

Oh. Ooohh. Oooooohhhhhh.
