I would offer that several of the members of the trump orbit as well as a goodly portion of the rabid rube following in fact are in a vegetative state. Consider: Two years of stories of “Russian hacking and trump collusion/obstruction” ought to have taught the trumpers that it might be a good idea to try something different. But what happens? Rudy seeks dirt on Biden by colluding with Ukraine. All that is new here is the country used, the method is the same.

I have no interest in Chelsea Manning’s opinions.

It’s like someone said hey let’s find a satirical figure who can make the progressive left look as bad as possible
seriously… why not have someone from the committee to protect journalists on… you know, an organization that has been around for a couple of decades defending the rights of reporters. or, maybe the aclu… or human rights watch…
oh, right… because that would introduce an actual real conversation about the threat this maladministration poses to this country.
only one of many reasons I quit watching cnn…

WikiLeaks is a front for Russian GRU.
Manning was held in contempt for not testifying re: WikiLeaks.
Now she’s spreading propaganda on any MSM platform which will have her on.
Instead of focusing on the symptom (Manning) we should be asking WTF MSM is giving platform to someone who’s repping a front for Russian GRU like that’s normal.
She might wanna file a FARA disclosure since FARA violations are another thing the DoJ is now very interested in pursuing.

When you realize these people only pretend to have policy goals, their behavior makes a lot more sense. They’re actually out to stir up shit, to tweak noses and giggle, not to make things better for anyone – but themselves, that is. Greenwald has done quite well for himself always being on the losing side of every campaign, every issue (and in two countries at that). Manning has become a professional celebrity without really even being a celebrity – I have no idea what she even does besides an occasional news appearance, a ridiculous senate campaign, and pointlessly being sent to jail (although it did get her publicity, and perhaps that was the point all along).

The media have identified this person incorrectly. It is Bradley Manning. He has Male sex organs and trying to wish them away because he has fantasies that make him think he is a woman does not make it so.

Well, to make up for that, we have someone who is interested in another part of Manning altogether:
Looks like Assange’s life just got a bit more complicated.

S/he can call her/himself William Shakespeare or Sara Vaughn for all I care. I’m still not interested in her/his opinions. Now her/his right to identify with a particular sex/gender, that’s another matter.
