Chelsea Manning will remain on active duty following her release from military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas on May 17, the U.S. Army said Sunday.

Manning will be an unpaid soldier and will be eligible for health care and other benefits, USA Today reported. Army spokesman Dave Foster told the paper that she will remain a private in the Army.

Yes, wrong in so many ways.  However, the rules are that he is entitled UNTIL his appeal is resolved.  No pay, lives in barracks, likely confined to base - not much of a life but beats prison.  Once his appeal gets resolved (against him I believe) he will be returned to prison.

Obama commuted the rest of its sentence.  They can't send it back to prison.

On this day, while the press has its panties in a wad over Trump revealing sooper sekrit intel to "the commie pinkos," let us not forget that Obama commuted the sentence of THIS GUY.

Yeah. Nuff said.
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!
