risible

Leaks which have had virtually no effect on the election. The problem is that it's illegal and there's malicious intent.


Which explains the widespread mistrust of Mrs Clinton.

Less "Kill the messenger" than "Shut the fuck up messenger". Unless Ecuador has killed him of course.

Also, Assange isn't really the messenger so much as the spokesman for the message delivery company. Maybe I'm straining this metaphor a bit. Point is, Clinton could personally fly to London and beat Assange to death with a cricket bat(when in Rome) and Wikileaks would still be able to leak her emails.

Assange would have the webcam turned on so he can upload Clinton beating him to death with a cricket bat.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.

First, no, they probably won't. When the order is given, the people down the line turning the keys have been selected for that job due to their ability to obey that command without hesitation.

Second, are you seriously implying that it's acceptable to have a President about whom we have to ask that question?

Well since we would have to ask the question about either candidate I guess it will have to be acceptable.

Appeal to an "Authority" that is a total joke. It is ridiculous. He is a fugitive. Nothing more. Being a spokesman for Wikileaks does not make him above the law. If you are accused of a crime you go to court.

Plus no one is deataining him. He can leave anytime he wants. And go to court like every one else. Contrary to his Trump sized ego, being the most great and glorious Assange does not make him above the law.

He's a dickhead and he's probably working for the Russian, but if the leaks are real, and it looks like they are, all you liberals calling for his death/arrest seriously need to have a long hard look at yourselves.

Nope, which is why they're not voting for Trump and his outstanding fraud cases.

Did I say that? Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I'm talking about those who are criticising him for leaking info about Hillary. Plenty on the liberal left were happy with overlooking or downplaying the rape allegations when he was "sticking it to the man". How things have changed in the last few years. I haven't got all the facts with the rape case, but it's a horrible crime which he should be punished for if he committed it. No decent person's going to deny that.

Trump is scum. Neither of them represent the people's interests, their policies will do or have already caused tragedy and destruction across the world. I just don't feel the need to suspend logic and self dignity for some "lesser of two evils" argument.

It's funny how Assange was a hero to the left when he leaked shit about the Iraq War, but as soon as he leaked Clinton's crimes, the Left hates him and thinks he needs to be locked up.

Right, totally because of the emails and not because, you know, he's trying to avoid extradition to face trial for rape.

I've wanted that creepy fucker in court since day one. His hiding out in an Ecuadorian embassy is laughable, and from the looks of it they've grown tired of him in there. Have your day in court and face the music. If Chelsea Manning was brave enough to go to jail for her revelations and Snowden courageous enough to risk it, then I'm pretty damn sure Assange should have the balls to face trial in Sweden, where they give the neo-Nazi terrorists X-boxes in jail.
