Was a doggy bag/to go box not an option for some reason?

Conspiring is a pretty broad term. If you bothered to read the Intercept piece about this it actually lays out the fact that typically speaking a lot of journalists that report on leaked information cultivate relationships with sources to obtain info which would almost certainly fall under an overly broad legal…

In this case specifically, it holds true. If Assange is successfully prosecuted under this, it can potentially put a lot of journalists at jeopardy. The key here is that they are arguing that he can and should be prosecuted because he simply released the information. Which would make literally any journalist that…

Cause nothing screams intelligence like spouting wild conspiracy theories without proof. 

Glad to see this thread is full of people giving this article a good faith read and interacting with it on its merits, rather than just skimming it and jumping to conclusions. *rolls eyes*.

You should be. You very well understand that if the DOJ is successful in obtaining a conviction against him on these charges then it really does jeopardize journalism as a whole.

‘Throw the gauntlet back at us’

Also makes me wonder what they do with the portion of the homeless population that is native to the islands and may not necessarily have family/friends on the mainland that they can go to.

To paraphrase Shane Torres, this is how a home schooled kid would act, sort of like an alien that kinda knows how humans act but not precisely: “Oh... that ones eating cereal with a fork...”

Florida- Our state motto is ‘Let he who is without sin...’

I read that article and I hope they really do seriously vet people that do this to make sure they have significant support once they are flown out of the state. I still think it might be a better solution to just try to find permanent housing for them. While probably more expensive than a plane ticket, its certainly…

Goddamnit, I didn’t see that you posted this first...

Florida has a fever or something.

That needs to be a new ad campaign for Florida: Public nudity and rage-eating carbs- Visit Florida.

“You ever seen what a deli slicer does to a human testicle?... Well if you don’t want to, GET ON THE PLANE!”

Almost certainly. That being said, the visual image painted is still kind of amusing in its own way. 

Sir, this is an Arbys...
