Exactly. That's what bothers me. People seem not to care how loony this site can look at times. cwydro Jul 2017 #10

When did you start shaking your head? After the trolls attacked her for going after Trump? L. Coyote Jul 2017 #26

I'll keep shaking my head. cwydro Jul 2017 #66

I believe she is a troll having fun and privately having a good laugh about it all. nt m-lekktor Jul 2017 #5

As I have said before, I take ANYTHING that she posts or says with a block of salt. Kleveland Jul 2017 #34

Or a very large crystal of salt, like the ones below: MineralMan Jul 2017 #54

Very nice! Quite stunning actually.... Kleveland Jul 2017 #96

I'm not that familiar with her--has she been right about anything that she tweets? Mrs. Overall Jul 2017 #36

She has great sources eh? awesomerwb1 Jul 2017 #39

Can we vote both...she needs to be sectioned? HipChick Jul 2017 #40

She "needs to be sectioned"? Eyeball_Kid Jul 2017 #44

Military term. Section 8. Where the mental cases go. n/t Stand and Fight Jul 2017 #104

"death penalty, for espionage, being considered" MGKrebs Jul 2017 #62

it's the Fox News mentality NewJeffCT Jul 2017 #86

Her sources may be telling her that, but if so, her sources are for shit. onenote Jul 2017 #67

You would think so... but of course we can't agree on that at all. FBaggins Jul 2017 #69

I've been in her corner quite a bit....but she seems to really be putting the cart before the horse cbdo2007 Jul 2017 #70

Lol, what happened to that thread throwing shade on this one cwydro Jul 2017 #75

Chelsea Manning was found guilty of espionage for her leaking. pnwmom Jul 2017 #76

And was the death penalty sought against her? onenote Jul 2017 #89

No, because of the nature of her offense. Are you certain Bannon hasn't done anything much worse? pnwmom Jul 2017 #90

The Law is Clear. onenote Jul 2017 #91

No, the law applies even outside of war time. pnwmom Jul 2017 #92

I quoted the language you seem to think I didn't know about onenote Jul 2017 #93

I said "no" to your comment about war time. I never claimed we were in war time, so that pnwmom Jul 2017 #94

Again, the issue isn't whether a prosecutor COULD seek the death penalty for espionage onenote Jul 2017 #97

How can you know what Mueller might consider without knowing what Bannon might have done? pnwmom Jul 2017 #99

What is it that you can imagine Bannon did that would give rise to an espionage claim onenote Jul 2017 #100

I'm not IMAGINING Bannon did something that could give rise to an espionage charge. pnwmom Jul 2017 #103

We should, but it won't happen. Foamfollower Jul 2017 #78

Shark. Jumped. mcar Jul 2017 #80
