Assange was a piece of poo poo who actively perverted Wikileaks into its current role as a front for the Russian government. He pushed out the other original members of Wikileaks and forced them to sign NDA's so they wouldn't talk about his fuckery. He openly criticized the people who leaked the Panama Papers. He helped support the rising tide of fascism across the world. And yeah, he almost certainly raped and sexually assaulted two women in Sweden.

But hey, he released some bad poo poo about the Iraq war twelve years ago (and didn't edit out the names of Iraqi citizens), so therefore he's a true crusader for justice and transparency.

You can think Assange is a piece of poo poo who should face up to what he did with the women and also that he should not be in trouble for reporting on the USA's war crimes.

Is he though? I have no idea what the administration's angle is on this but I highly doubt that it's the stated one, especially given how weak the indictment is (according to the lawyers I follow on twitter anyway). I believe Obama's DoJ had the same information and never tried to move on it.

Like I'm legit curious what the brain genoiuses at the WH are trying to do here. People are like "they're trying to create a precedent to act on" but they've never been shy about acting without one in the past.

the united states is not the primary actor here, the government of ecuador is - they finally evicted assange for wearing out their patience and talking poo poo about the president of ecuador, and that was that. without ecuador shielding assange with diplomatic immunity the rest of the machinery was set in motion. this sealed indictment is over a year old and the bobbies have been checking with ecuador to see if they're willing to turn over assange for bail jumping ever since he started squatting in their bathroom

yeah assange has not uh made the best strategic decisions regarding staying out of american jail

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2019/04/11/how-ecuador-soured-assange

quote:

Late 2018: Tougher rules for Assange inside the embassy

The embassy issues new house rules for Assange, including that he take care of his cat’s “well-being, food and hygiene” — or risk losing the right to have the cat. He is also told that he has to ask permission in advance for outside visitors to come in and should be responsible for his own food and laundry.

Early 2019: WikiLeaks dispute with President Moreno escalates

Fearing a possible expulsion, Assange’s lawyers try to prevent such a move. The organization blames politics for any possible revocation of Assange’s asylum and claims that Ecuador spied on Assange and his lawyers.

“If President Moreno wants to illegally terminate a refu­gee publisher’s asylum to cover up an offshore corruption scandal, history will not be kind."

One week before Assange is arrested, Moreno tells Ecuadoran radio that Assange “has violated the agreement we reached with him and his legal counsel too many times.” But Ecuador’s foreign minister, José Valencia, tweets that WikiLeaks’s claims of an imminent arrest are no more than “unfounded rumors.”

If a Republican does not give me $50 for a verbal statement that I will not support human trafficking, that Republican is a terrorist working for the enemy. That person doesn't care even $50 worth for his cause, and if $50 is all it took to receive a non-binding agreement then he's practically aiding and abetting the traffickers by not giving it to me.

Are we totally certain that his books were intended to be parodies? Are we sure BEE didn't write them thinking he was writing brilliant straightforward literature? I mean, Melville apparently didn't know that Moby Dick was an allegory until someone pointed it out to him.

The reason the US is so white now is because of immigration. (eta: largely of people who weren't considered properly white at the time)

They claim they want the different races to stay in their own ancestral lands and not intermix for the sake of "human biodiversity." No, this doesn't mean white people in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand should cede their countries to indigenous people and move to Europe, that would be silly!
