Chelsea Manning Suicide Attempt

FUCK. HIM.

She needs to be released. In a world where the GOP treats refusals to appear as marks of honor, this poor dear doesn't deserve the grief.

Living in a wannabe totalitarian state is rough.

And R1 has contracted a disease of his own making.

Good.

What's his fucking problem now?

Everyone knows you don’t wear hot pink lipstick if you’re really serious about killing yourself. It was only a cry for help. I hope he gets his vagina soon.

I totally agree, R2.

He's a fucking traitor to this country.

Are people here saying fuck you to a person who had the balls to face execution to show the killings of civilians on a senseless war for oil and the sole responsible to leak thousands of documents proving that the American government still meddles into every country's democracies for personal gain and profit?

[quote] He's a fucking traitor to this country.

Next time you cry Russian troll and whine that Russia is trying to interfere with our democracy, remember this woman had the balls to produce documented evidence America is doing the same to everyone else. The fact anyone here calls this woman a traitor, tells me most Americans are as brainwashed as the Chinese they love to mock. Original DLers knew better.

Between prime all day and this type of comment, this message board really is going to shit.

At least he had the courage to face the consequences of his actions. Unlike that fucking coward Snowden who ran to Russia.

If Obama commuted sentence, why is she back in? Sorry. Havnt followed closely

Yeah, I thought she/he was free? Did something else happen? I haven't followed this story in years. And a transperson who attempts suicide? I am shocked, I tell ya.

Indeed.

I'm TRANSfixed!

Again?

OK this is bizarre. The article said Manning had been held for a year but I don't recall hearing anything about this. Was there a media blackout?

No, it was covered. It is related to the Assange case.

See a story from last March at link.

R16 Strange I must have missed it completely. Last I had heard, Manning was living in a DC suburb

This bitch.

[quote] At least he had the courage to face the consequences of his actions. Unlike that fucking coward Snowden who ran to Russia

Is this for real? Are you calling a coward a man who risked his own life to show the world the government spies on everyone like the fucking KGB? How big of a fucking sheep are you?

Why didn't he testify? Afraid of perjuring himself? I don't get it. Seems preferable to jail.

R19 I think you must be the sheep if you didn't know the government spied on you before Snowden. Most of us are fine with it provided the government is accountable to the people. He put our national security in jeopardy.

Didn’t xe try jumping out a window or something, already?

R21 must be a moron for not understanding the distinction of "knowing" and actually having documented evidence of the lengths of control.

🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

R23 I must be. I'm a happy moron though. I'm focused on positive outcomes that can be achieved through smart government and trustworthy servants. Snowden showed himself to be an untrustworthy one.

Manning is a homophobe that assaulted a female coworker and called her a dyke in emails. I'm okay with my dimwittedness by comparison.

What happened? Did a guard disrespect her pronouns?

She should be jailed for the mullet.

She look-a lik-a man.

Very mixed up and needs lots of help - has attempted suicide before.

I would be humbled and honored to experience unilaterally-initiated penetration in a gender-neutral correctional facility with this brave truth teller, but I suppose y'all other cis girls gon' keep crying about some "privacy" and "boundary" shit! smdh!

Someone on Twitter said Chelsea is upset at finding out that Assange doesn't really love her and he was just using her and coerced her to commit treason.

What's going on with Assange's extradition ?

Multiple suicide attempts and no success it's almost like he's not serious about killing himself.

Maybe it was his masculine side trying to kill his feminine side.

Did The Intercept get her thrown back in jail? That seems to happen to lots of people who work for them.

He’s in jail for refusing to testify. It is a situation completely of his own doing, a choice Manning willingly made. In the meantime he’s been using his incarceration as an excuse to raise lots and lots of money, ostensibly for his “legal defense”.

He’s a deeply disturbed, mentally ill man with several public suicide attempts under his belt. He also has a history of being violent towards women. I don’t wish him any harm but it’s clear he’s unstable and some kind of institutionalization is the best thing for him.

Before she succeeds, I hope she finds a better hairstyle. It's important to look good for the coroner.

Murderers have served less time than her, this is a travesty of justice.

This is sad, but the way she looks I just can imagine her trying to commit suicide like Sissy Spacek in a Crimes of the Heart, but unsuccessfully hanging herself from a chandelier, or sticking her head in the oven, deciding not to do it, but hitting her head and knocking herself out anyways.

Remember, if at first you don't succeed, try and try again.

The empty-headed shrieking in outrage about "government spying" all have Facebook and Twitter accounts.

A principled gal.

Serving Taylor Swift Realness here:

Gamine:

She's mentally unstable and was long before she got tossed in jail for refusing to testify against that odious Russian prick Assange.

I find it quite telling that we have several active Bernie Bots on this board currently who immediately will claim Chelsea and Snowden are "heroes" when they are in fact dupes at best and Russian spies at worst.

Look at where Snowden has been living since he spilled the beans. That isn't an accident. It's unbelievable that people can continue to claim he's some sort of martyr when he made a beeline for Russia after leaking classified intel and continues to spread propaganda from exile.

Chelsea seems less innocent and more a deluded individual. She needs therapy and institutionalization, but because she's trans she has gotten a steady dose of support for all her delusions, because to dismiss one is to dismiss all, in her case. The suicide isn't a cry for help, it's a cry for attention.

She had her second chance when Obama commuted her sentence on compassionate grounds, and since then she has done nothing but make us ALL regret it. Currently she is back in jail in a situation - like before - entirely of her own making, for refusing to testify as to what she knows about that nasty narcissist Assange. She thinks she's being some sort of martyr by refusing to testify, but she is just showing she hasn't learned a goddamn thing.

She doesn't need hormones, she needs deprogramming.

They are exhausting.

Snowden is not in Russia by choice. The US took unprecedented action to revoke his passport while he was in the air on a flight. He has offered to stand trial if he can use the defense that disclosing secrets is legal if in the public interest. That is not a legally recognized defense, so he would be in jail for the rest of his life.

I think psychiatrists are afraid to take people like her on as a real patient as they would have to be walking on eggshells the whole time so.as not to be publically accused by the patient as being transphobic for the smallest misstep.

The pretrial Pysch Evaluation diagnosed Narcissistic Personality Disorder, 'nuff said

Pischer Evaluation.

[quote]He’s in jail for refusing to testify. It is a situation completely of his own doing

Not really. Manning has been clear that they have already told the government everything they know, and that this was just a Trump admin attempt to punish them for what they have already served time for.

There's no reason to keep Manning in jail. The government has shown nothing to indicate that they know Manning has more information and is refusing to release it.

[quote] Not really. Manning has been clear that they have already told the government everything they know, and that this was just a Trump admin attempt to punish them for what they have already served time for.

Yes, really. All Manning needed to do was testify that he’s already provided the government with all the info he knows with regards to Wikileaks. He has already served time for anything that could be the subject of his testimony. This was pure obstruction from a diagnosed narcissistic head case.

R48

That same diagnosis applies to 98.9% of trannies. That is one reason why they are so exhausting to be around.

Hopefully it will be a closed coffin.

Manning has said repeatedly through their lawyer and to the press that they already told the government all they knew. They won't agree to testify in front of a secret grand jury because they feel it's an attempt to intimidate and relitigate the prior court martial.

They haven't been convicted of anything. The judge just keeps throwing Manning back in jail every time the grand jury's term expires. It's a way for the government to incarcerate someone for life without giving them due process or even convicting them.

That should concern you. I know it doesn't because you (and most of the posters on this thread) sound like rightwing scumbags, of which Datalounge has many lately, but the government shouldn't be able to throw someone into solitary confinement for life without even a trial, just for not repeating testimony they have already given.

R54

It isn't the "government". but any judge has power to put someone in jail for contempt of court who comes before them and will not cooperate.

Those thrown into jail like anyone else can appeal to higher courts including SCOTUS for relief, and yes Manning did so and the relief was denied.

I thought he was gorgeous when he was a man. Just dont know why he transitioned

My, R44 really knows his facts! He even possesses the prescience to assert that all who disagree with him on his perceptions of Assange and Snowden must be "Bernie Bots." Talk about needing deprogramming.

Not to be a dick, but she’s now tried to kill herself 3-4 times. Is she really trying that hard?

.... I’m a dick. Sorry.

She really looks better as a gal. The eyes and lips needed some color.

[quote] They won't agree to testify in front of a secret grand jury because they feel it's an attempt to intimidate and relitigate the prior court martial.

And that is Manning’s choice. He is not being forced by the judge or the government to make that decision. He is not a political prisoner nor does his refusal strike a blow against actual miscarriages of justice or make a stand for constitutional rights.

Manning cannot be tried again, so the idea that they are “relitigating” his previous court martial is false. All he needs to do is testify.

[quote] you (and most of the posters on this thread) sound like rightwing scumbags, of which Datalounge has many lately

Yes dear, anyone who disagrees with you must be a rightwing, MAGA wearing Cheetolini fan and not someone who simply has a different opinion. Tell me, before TDS did you dismiss anyone who disagreed with you on any subject as a conservative blowhard?

“I like dogs”

“Well I prefer cats”

“Ugh! Rethuglican Boris troll! *hisssssss*”

Cover Gal:

He is more attractive as a woman.

This boring little fellow though. So desperate for attention. Sorry to burst the bubble of all your wokesters out there but that's exactly why he played the Cool Spy Game, that's why he's a man who's decided he's a woman, and that's why all these Cry For Attention "suicide attempts" occur.

Has the Chelsea Manning story been a Lifetime movie yet? I would totally watch that. Could Miles play her, they seem to have similar bone structure.

The trans-whatever is free to do what he wants with his life.

R64 It could be an amazing Lifetime Original Movie, but we need to wait until the wokeness dies down a little bit for it to be as good as it could be.

R62 my god he was so cute

As a boy he looks a lot like the Hollyoaks actor Billy Price.

She kind of looks like Chelsea Clinton with straight hair. Both looking rather unfortunate.

I guess that documentary is finally out. But her life changes so quickly- it's already outdated.

Released. Got attention. King mental will be happy.

Divo gets what divo wants.

Infant.

Free at last, free at last.

Gee, it's almost like flyover Americans want to pretend their government isn't shoulder deep in the blood of innocents all over the world.

Three cheers for Chelsea, I say.

Obama made a mistake in commuting his sentence. Just because he thinks he's a chick.

R74, of course we know that. It’s all we hear, every fucking day: America = slavery, colonialism, oppression, murder, environmental destruction.

Every empire has inflicted suffering on “innocents.”

Are you vegan, R74? No? The irony.

R75 he didn't lift that skirt

A hero, no matter the gender.

I wonder if she was being 'suicided'

Has he started complaining that the virus is victimizing him yet?
