Trump doesn’t care about justice, or truth, or humanity (unless it’s spelled Hannity). It would be more effective to appeal to his better side. IOW, “The Libs think that Assange got you elected and want his head. Wouldn’t it be glorious to let him go? You would own the libs like never before!”
Remember, we’re dealing with a narcissistic egomaniac.
Gosh stardust, do you really think Trump is that smart?
FREE JULIAN ASSANGE
please.
Hi Shantiananda:
LOL! That was funny.
However, I think that Trump’s mind stopped developing around that teen age. You can see that with plenty of people in America, like the Proud Boys, and that weird lady lawyer of Trumps—that he canned once before and now has her back! Having been a troublesome teen to my parents----mostly because I didn’t yet understand the world. Yes, I did get into amazing trouble sometimes----but Trump still has his teen brain and most of us have moved on! : )
God I hope Trump does this, that he frees Assange and Snowden from the bipartisan injustices they have suffered. Our greatest heroes and patriots should not suffer while America stands by and watches without remorse. If Trump does this, it would be better than anything Obama ever did in his 8 years.
OOOH. Can we send a little mite to Jonnydon’s ear because the message just might do the trick!
The only thing I have reservations about when it comes to pardoning Assange, Snowden, Winner, Manning, Kiriakou, and other whistleblowers persecuted over the last 20 years, is it implies they did something wrong. Also, Biden could pardon them his first day in the office so why aren’t you trying to “move Joebama left” to do so? Is it because you rubes who voted for him have finally figured out who and what Biden really is and you’re a wee bit embarrassed? Joe calling Assange a “high tech terrorist” on national TV might have been the very unsubtle hint you chose to overlook in November.
well I think that is a good spin also and it might work???
After the four years of carnage Drumpf has put this nation through, pardoning Assange and Snowden would amount to possibly the only heroic act of his entire existence.
I hope he does, however hope is just another four letter word totally unrelated to politics.
Unfortunately for proles, aka 99%,
torture for shits and giggles
IS the point.

More like teenage tendencies.
It’s hard to fit smart and Trump into a sentence.
Clinton is the gal who suggested the US take Assange out with a drone strike. Odd how she gets a pass for that.
Biden considers Assange a Hi-tech terrorist and having been responsible for writing much of the Patriot act , the guy would be more then a little eager to “kill him some terrorists”.
PRE-teen is more like it. 10 or 11 at most; not even close to 12.
. . . else he’d have spared us all his evil presence by committing suicide many years ago!
and if that’s not enough just do it to poke a stick in the eye of democrats, eh?
So 80 million Americans voted for the demented one who hid in his basement and couldn’t draw 200 people to his neighborhood rallies. Sure.
Trump just pardoned the four Blackwater mercenary killers of the Nisor Square massacre. Does Assange or Snowden really want this thug to be the one who pardons them? Would Nelson Mandela have gratefully let the Gambinos spring him from Robben Island Prison?
Every citizen, or at least every citizen important enough to be worth watching, could be kept for twenty-four hours a day under the eyes of the police and in the sound of official propaganda, with all other channels of communication closed. The possibility of enforcing not only complete obedience to the will of the State, but complete uniformity of opinion on all subjects, now existed for the first time.
In a way, the world-view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening.
Truth is coming, and it cannot be stopped.
Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence and thereby eventually lose all ability to defend ourselves and those we love. In a modern economy it is impossible to seal oneself off from injustice.
If we have brains or courage, then we are blessed and called on not to frit these qualities away, standing agape at the ideas of others, winning pissing contests, improving the efficiencies of the neocorporate state, or immersing ourselves in obscuranta, but rather to prove the vigor of our talents against the strongest opponents of love we can find.
If we can only live once, then let it be a daring adventure that draws on all our powers. Let it be with similar types whos hearts and heads we may be proud of. Let our grandchildren delight to find the start of our stories in their ears but the endings all around in their wandering eyes.
The whole universe or the structure that perceives it is a worthy opponent, but try as I may I can not escape the sound of suffering.Perhaps as an old man I will take great comfort in pottering around in a lab and gently talking to students in the summer evening and will accept suffering with insouciance. But not now; men in their prime, if they have convictions are tasked to act on them.
Thanks to facial-recognition software and cameras on every streetcorner, China has brought this vision to reality –
and in only 35 years!
