Sure is weird to me to see folks who seem to be Democrats attacking Julian Assange and wanting to start conflicts with Russia, etc.
Not singling you out Bladewire. I'm speaking in general terms here.
It was the Bush administration who pressured Sweden into making Assange a wanted man in the first place. (they were pissed on how he revealed hacked emails that pointed out Bush administration lies)
At that time, Assange was praised to high heavens by the Democrat Party biased media....and HATED by the Republicans.
Back then Assange was letting sunshine in on the dark secrets of our corrupt govt. and was a hero.
Hell, he won several major journalistic awards AND was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
But once he had the audacity to shine light on the Democrats? Well, now he's a criminal and a monster and needs to be thrown in prison and SILENCED immediately.
And once upon a time (for all my lifetime)...the Democrats and the Democrat biased media was all about making friends with Russia.
No matter WHAT the Russian govt. did or didn't do.
Seems like only a few years ago that Hillary Clinton made a fool of herself with that stupid big red "reset" button that she handed to the Russian President in front of the cameras. So embarrassing (not the idea, but the stupid red plastic button)
And then in 2012 when President Obama himself was caught on an open mic telling a Russian official to tell "Vladimir" that once the 2012 election was over that he would be more "flexible" to work together with him.
This was all seen as "good" by the Democrat politicians and media.
But now that Pres. Obama's flirting with Putin has been rebuffed and Trump is flirting...OMG!!!
Now, all of a sudden...we need to start a freakin' war with Russia.
Just weird. It's like the world has turned upside down.
A "Republican" (Trump) is acting like what he really is (a Democrat)...but since he has an "R" in front of his name...the Democrats and media hate THE EXACT THINGS THEY RECENTLY STOOD FOR.
And I use the term "stood for" very, very loosely. It's obvious that neither Republicans or Democrat politicians have ANYTHING they really stand for.
They just go the opposite of whatever the other party says or does.
Really fucked up.
