The WikiLeaks founder has been held in a prison outside London for the last five years and fought extradition to the U.S. He is expected to return to Australia.
Merrick Garland and his DOJ are absolutely not taking marching orders from the Whitehouse. Garland also doesn’t give two shits about politics. Dude’s rigidly ethical

Unenforceable wish: no limit on downvotes, but people should have to EXPLAIN them. I often learn more from opposing opinions than from statements of agreement. If I say something unpopular, I want to know WHY it’s so widely disliked. Maybe I’m unaware of something important.

Forced troll feeding. Brilliant idea…
lol good point. I’m a goddam genius!
Ironically, your reply is what I’m talking about. Tell me why I’m wrong! Point out what I missed!
Just saw your edit…
…but I did explain…
…so I’m confused…
It’s ironic because thoughtful criticism is helpful. The “tell me why I’m wrong” bit is a remark meant for others, not you.
