He’s not Russian, but he’s a Russian asset. They like using foreigners to do their dirty work when possible.

This is a very complicated story. On one hand, what he originally should be applauded, revealing many disgusting, terrible secrets about what the United States government has done over the years. All the illegal shit they’ve done to justify the Iraq War and the like.

Did you just spam reply all of my comments, or what?

I know this is Splinter heresy, but the actions in question are more than chargeable under the Espionage Act. This isn’t about protected speech, and Assange isn’t a journalist.

People who have been instrumental in landmark First Amendment cases have included Nazis, the Klan, pornographers, a guy who burned a cross on a black family’s lawn, Larry Flynt, anarchists, and a kid who gave an profane, sexually graphic campaign speech at his high school auditorium.

Assange is not a journalist, he’s a professional shit-stirrer. If anyone believes a random foreigner can simply plot to obtain and publish classified information they lack critical thinking skills. Otherwise our next epsionage case will be;

Impeaching trump is a step in the right direction to fixing the country. Anyone with half a brain can see that.

Impeachment comes from the House, not the Senate.

Your entire comment gets to the point of my post, which is Pelosi’s poor leadership on this issue.  I think what they are doing now is fine. But Pelosi keeps insisting that they shouldn’t be pursuing impeachment. She keeps coming up with excuses not to impeach, and she is at least giving the impression that…

How about we forget poll numbers and elections for just one single second in this country and think about basic justice. Donald Trump is an out and out criminal who is currently unleashing an agenda that could destroy the earth. How about we at least *try* to hold him accountable on any of the crimes he’s currently…

“I don’t necessarily agree with IMPEACH NOW!!!, solely because however long the process would take, we shouldn’t have it wrapped up much before the general election (if at all).”

She should probably get a press secretary out there in front of the press every day to review what is going on in government currently. All in all, I think we need more of this.

Usually, whenever someone’s supporters insist that this is all just one step in a complicated strategy of 11th dimensional chess, it means they’re full of shit and can’t actually defend their position.

He’s already squawking about victory and persecution on a daily basis, but we’re supposed to be afraid that impeachment and a senate exoneration would... change what exactly

You don’t even have to mention impeachment!

“Clinton’s impeachment proceedings lasted maybe 3 months“ 

So, I guess you can only impeach if they literally just took office?

They don’t have anything on Pelosi. She, and most of her fellow democrats, simply lack the courage to act. They’re spineless. They’ve been spineless for decades. This is acting according to type...it’s not remotely new.
