I think she’s paid her debt and hopefully she’ll be free from the torture of her imprisonment.

It’s the new one: The Presidential Medal for Meddling

The UN had ruled that she was being tortured. Her sentence was fucking excessive and it was slowly killing her. The fact you say it was not means you have not read any of the details or you do not care.

She pled guilty, cooperated with the investigation, and as Noble Renard noted the sentence was indeed excessive compared to previous cases.

*countdown to when Assange will be found dead of “natural causes.”*

Her sentence was the longest sentence for any leaker, ever. Yes, the leak was huge, but as the NY Times points out, none of the material was classified as Top Secret.

I applaud the Obama administration for this move. She has suffered enough, that’s become extremely apparent. I doubt she would have survived another year or two, let alone the remaining thirty years of her sentence.

A very sincere Thanks, Obama. She would not have survived the Trump administration.

I think his cause of death will shed some light on a few issues though. I would totally agree with you but when you come out and deny allegations, then come out and deny sickness and finally come out and declare you are healed.....only to die very soon after, it all looks very suspicious.

No, because nothing that Hinkie did was actually that special. The strategy of tanking for draft picks is trivial. Hinkie wasn’t bad because he went in that direction, he was horrible because he cloaked it in Silicon Valley-speak and pretended like what he hit upon was some kind of revolutionary strategy, rather than…

That’s how the rich solve problems.

The wealthiest American control 99% of this country’s assets.

Bill Simmons retired from basketball a few years ago, but Jacoby and House have been trying to get him back on the court. LA’s middle-aged white guy pickup basketball scene just hasn’t been the same without him.

How far out do we go where sportswriters are allowed to praise Sam Hinkie? Like the Sixers won’t be really comparative this year but if they are in a year or two, do we still get revisionist pieces about how “The System” worked (despite producing years of putrid basketball)?

It’s really a shame the Sixers didn’t keep Evan Turner, Spencer Hawes and Andre Iguodala and keep making runs at the 7 seed, though.

Truly besides the point, but ‘Bishop’? I guess when you basically build your own church you can call yourself whatever you want.

No he watched trump practice shining vlads shoes trump isn’t worthy for the real deal yet.

So Allen just watched Trump shine Vladimir Putin’s shoes?

Wow, that’s powerful, so, so powerful. The strength, brilliance and perspective of those young men can only be described with that one word: powerful. I have literally nothing to add to what they say, except to say that they inspire me for the future, regardless of all this bad shit going on in this world.

Man, that dude was fucked up to high hell. And all of these “good Christians” applauding this bullshit.
