US rejects Australia’s calls to end pursuit of WikiLeaks

If the New york times or new York post receive documents and they publish ones and not others with a partisan motive they're still not criminals.

So this is a typical bullshit thing for democrat-party aligned people for whom the ends justifies the means and there's no bad tactics, only bad targets. The very same types that tell you "twitter files are partisan nothing burgers" and that people like Matt Taibbi are "right wingers".

I don't care what the FBI tries to pull to muddy the waters. Or the government toppling CIA, for that matter.

Assange has been pursued and illegally imprisoned for exposing corruption and doing journalism, nothing more.

You got one thing right:

"twitter files are partisan nothing burgers"

You just exposed yourself as a partisan hack.

Glenn greenwald and taibbi are not republican sycophants but true left but, just like criticizing Hillary made you "russian" or trumpist, seeing the truth about censorship makes you "right winger/republican".

It's so hilarious. You can't even come up with an original dismissal. It's the same old tired labels. Try harder.

You are the one being partisan everywhere on this site. Anything you can bring politics into, and even where you shouldn't, you do.

Firstly, I am not trolling nor have I done anything to justify your behavior, read the rules around here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

" Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes."

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

Secondly, there is no debate here. I am merely witnessing the equivalent of a person screaming uncontrollably for no reason at an intersection in a big city.
