Traditionally, high turnout was unambiguously positive for Democrats, but there was hugely high turnout among Republicans in November too. I'm not sure we can draw any conclusions, other than that everyone is *really* fired up about these elections. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a matter of public record, you are now saying the entire judicary has made up Assange's defence and journalists have just gone along with it plus all the other people in the courtroom. Skipping Bail is also a criminal offence, one that is always punished and always should be, especially in the manner Assange did it This really isn't a case of revisionism, there is no conspiracy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are projecting your own perspective/interpretation. I mean here's the thing VK. You write in a way in which bulldozers your views forward, then when challenged, you accuse others of projection (for some unknown reason.) It's sort of sad. I think there is an intelligent mind lurking somewhere there but you are so unwilling to engage in an open way; and what I mean by that is, state your honest opinion (not hidden behind innuendo and inference) and then debate those opinions with others. Come on man - this is the sub forum of an unofficial club forum. Honestly I highly doubt anyone is 'watching.' Why not just try and be the best version of yourself, and if needs be, admit that you learned something? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
