Irony is dead. Assange killed it.

[kpete]

The guy who’s entire business model was publishing information not meant for the public complaining about... the publishing of information.

This is rich.

Assange's attorney says it is highly "irresponsible...to put in a public filing information that clearly was not intended for the public and without any notice"

1. Nah, McConnell beat him to it

Earlier this week, McConnell committed murder most foul with his op ed column about whether the newly-elected House with its Democratic majority would put country above party and work with the Senate instead of investigating any shady administration dealings.

3. I don't think that was as ironic as it was mendacious.

5. Well, it DID rain on Veterans' Day

Isn't that the lyric in that Alanis Morrissette song?

2. The system was not created for the convenience of the accused. He got the same warning he ...

gave everyone he turned out in his document dumps.

4. Iron-y deficient

brought about by a steady diet of bullshit.

[Celerity]

7. That twitter account spread bullshit Repuglican generated disinformation

and lies that AOC was protesting Nancy Pelosi with a group under her control and criticising fellow Democrats. Rethug Paul Ryan's press Secretary AshLee Strong was one of the first pushers and started a feeding frenzy with the lazy press.

It (this twitter account's dodgy post, parroting this RW talking point for its own agenda) was then used here to kick off a huge amount of angst and misinformation on this site that attempted to scapegoat the progressive left side of our big tent for being anti-Pelosi, when almost all pushback by actually elected members towards Speaker (hopefully) Pelosi has been by the centrist right edge of the big tent.

So fuck Assange, indeed, I hope he has the book thrown at him, but that Twitter account is a jackass whisperer (h/t to DU'er Autumn for that nickname!!, lolol) that sows division. It definitely has agendas and unclean hands in the AOC case. I now trust it as far as I can spit.

9. Assange is a journalist who told the truth

He's committed no crimes.

If you support Jim Acosta then you should be supporting Julian.
