Assange under siege as leaks rock Clinton campaign

Post Reply New Topic

It's a vast media conspiracy. To report the words of a candidate whose public statements make him look as absurd as Vermin Supreme. And at least then we each get a pony, rather than inevitable humiliating impeachment proceedings once the bloviation starts to negatively impact our international standing.

As for Assange, some run-of-the-mill liberals want his head. While I think he has a set of personal interests and an understandable long-standing vendetta against Clinton, overall I'd say he's still doing a public service in releasing this.

This leak is largely business as usual politics. Some of which, like the Goldman Sachs talk, is "business as usual" corruption that's condemned and a good argument for public financing of elections. Some of which is hilarious and kind of fascinating, like Podesta's talk with Blink-182's lead singer on Area 51. Most of which is boring political minutiae. Based on how Trump has run his businesses and conducted his campaign, I have no reason to believe he'd be better than an already rotten status quo.

At first this seems like a really weird non sequitur, I actually didn't know what it meant until a couple of days ago

It seems to give away the person who uses it as either an aficionado of a very weird kind of humiliation porn or a someone who immerses themselves in a weird online right wing culture full of people who are aficionados of that weird kind of humiliation porn.

"Cuckservatives (via Salon)"

"Cuckservatives" (via SPLC)

We get ponies!



Yay!

This. "You disagree with me? YOU LIKE WATCHING YOUR GIRLFRIEND SLEEP WITH OTHER PEOPLE!" It's the most stupid thing and I'd kind of like a Firefox add-on to replace it with "smurf."

Smurf'd smurfservatives getting smurfed by smurfin' immigrants.



A vote for him is a vote totally wasted. But seriously. He looks more and more like a major-party candidate by the day.

Wikileaks released 2000 more emails today...

more and more corruption being exposed

the cyber attack against Wikileaks cannot stop them from publishing the truth

Like most online memes, it's made its way into the mainstream. It's usage is neither necessarily right-wing nor sexual. It's a translation of the fetish onto other aspects of the individual it's applied to, suggests they're acting against their best interests.

Example usage: "Who told you cuck was racist? Don't be such a cuck."

Wikileaks leaked Hillary's VP short list

she had it divided into 'rough food groups' by race/sex

Bernie all the way at the very bottom

interesting stuff

Pretty disgusting, these people are trying to cover up their crimes right in front of our eyes

Free Assange, Free Manning, Free Snowden!

So far the only really damming things leaked so far is the Hillary open borders comment, and the anti catholicism of her top campaign officials. The rest is mostly typical political strategizing and analyzing. I do suspect the most damming stuff is yet to come, right before the election.

No, it hasn't. Good grief.

There has been violations of the law but for sure the worst is yet to come

they wouldn't be trying so hardly now to shut Wikileaks down if they weren't afraid of what they had

I'm glad Wikileaks is posting stuff, but I wish they had published the DNC emails when it could've actually affected the outcome of the primary. Instead they hung onto that until after Clinton won the primary, almost as if to ensure it would hurt the democratic nominee, and not accidentally benefit Sanders.

Still, they're saying they're gonna post new stuff on both candidates soon so... curious to see what it'll be.

No, just what the far-right call supposedly those on the same right-wing spectrum but slightly saner. It's possibly sexual projection, i.e. they're self-admitting although in all likelihood they never even had a partner. At any rate, a dumb ad-hominem.

Hillary campaign doesn't report sexual harassment, forwards email to alleged harasser

Hillary campaign trying to frame Julian Assange as a pedophile and Russian spy

despicable

That comes across as "La la la I'm not listening because I don't want to accept the possibility of a different perspective being closer to reality than the one I prefer.".

Yes, it has. It's being used well outside the alleged confines of "white supremacy" or "white nationalism".

Even the Salon article alluded to this fact, despite its ridiculous narrative of racism and "white male privilege".

"Rush Limbaugh helped spread the term to the mainstream when he praised Trump like this: “If Trump were your average, ordinary, cuckolded Republican, he would have apologized by now, and he would have begged for forgiveness, and he would have gone away.”



I explained to you how it's being used, not what I choose it to mean. You are, of course, perfectly free to elect to do the opposite.
