Redstreak 6,653 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 President Obama largely commuted the 35-year prison sentence of Chelsea Manning, an Army private convicted in 2013 of taking secret diplomatic and military documents and disclosing them to WikiLeaks. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/obama-largely-commutes-sentence-of-chelsea-manning-us-soldier-convicted-for-leaking-classified-information/2017/01/17/f3205a1a-dcf8-11e6-ad42-f3375f271c9c_story.html?utm_term=.3c759e079a20 Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosey 3,017 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Breitbart definitely pulls no punches: "[Obama] has deliberately distracted Americans from his claim of nefarious Russian Wikileaks hacking [. . .] by commuting the sentence of a transgender criminal [. . .] The criminal, Chelsea Manning, used to live as a male named Bradley. I searched "Manning" on Breitbart and the following headlines came up: Obama Frees Chelsea Manning and 273 More CriminalsDem Sen Manchin: Manning Commutation ‘Dead Wrong,’ Gives ‘Green Light’ to HackingMenendez: ‘Not Sure’ What Message Is Sent Commuting Manning While Raising Concern About WikiLeaks and ElectionCNN’s Zeleny: ‘Hard to Imagine’ Obama Would Have Commuted Manning If Manning Wasn’t TransitioningObama Frees Transgender Leaker, Tightens Political Alliance with Gay Donors In none of the articles do they use Manning's preferred pronouns, instead going to great lengths to avoid using pronouns at all (Manning this, Manning that). Breitbart is a great source of news in many ways, but it does have its flaws... "I am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country."—US President Donald J.
