It's pretty cool that Assange is safe in his impenetrable Ecuadorian embassy fortress, where the US Deep State and CIA just can't possibly harm him, which is why he can keep leaking stuff for years and years!
The psychopaths running Ecuador care super duper deeply about Justice and Righteousness, and that's why they protect Assange from the CIA's assassins, so that he can keep revealing government secrets!
I sure am glad Assange has blessed us with such ass-shatteringly unexpected information as dealings at the DNC involving corruption! I mean, who'd have thunk? Who could possibly have guessed that something about the political process had been rigged?!? O.M.F.G.
Without Assange's Gift Of Enlightenment, what would we know about the world? What would we know about what usually happens when politicians open their whore mouths, or their tendencies with their promises and stances?
Bernie's coat-turning sure was unexpected!! OMG!! How could such a saint betray us like that?! Our main man! Our hero! Our Welfare Fairy! .. What has the world come to?!
Here's part of a response I got:
Wow, his incisive and logical argument sure convinced me I'm wrong!
