Chelsea Manning Releases First Campaign Ad In Senate Run
« on: January 15, 2018, 03:01:00 am »
Chelsea Manning has released the first campaign ad in her bid for a Maryland Senate seat.

The transgender activist and former soldier filed to run for Senate on Thursday, but confirmed the bid with a campaign ad she posted to Twitter on Sunday.

“We live in trying times. Times of fear, of suppression, hate,” Manning says as images of the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., and protesters clashing with police are shown.
“We don’t need more or better leaders, we need someone willing to fight,” she continues.

Funniest ad I’ve seen since Paul Nehlen - though that wasn’t their intention.

Probably would have been better with Dead Or Alive’s You Spin Me Round playing in the background.

Let's see ... we have a tranny who was convicted by court martial of espionage, who was later pardoned by Bammy and is now running for a seat in the U.S. Senate.  I never could figure out why the pardon from Bammy till now.  Gee ... something also tells me that 'rumors' surrounding Bammy and his wife 'Michael' are true.

There was no pardon - the sentence was commuted.  The conviction still stands, but Maryland law allows someone to run after they’ve served their sentence.

I sincerely doubt this candidacy goes far, but it will be at least entertaining in the meantime.

Entertaining in a creepy sort of way.

Wow, he looks weird!   :terror:

In other words:

"I may not actually be competent, but I'll pick fights."

Manning's only hope is for the alphabet soup lobby to step in on "her" behalf, because a man who engages in espionage against his own country, then turns around, claims to be a woman and gets a sex change on the feds' dime all while railing against the government wouldn't have a snowball's chance in Hades of being elected in a sane world. This world, alas, is not sane, so all bets are off.

This idiot picked the wrong state to run in. The way Rats have a lock on MD is because of Baltimore and owning the black vote. There is no way in hell the blacks are voting for some white he/she.

Eight years of Obama helped to erode a lot of black people's misgivings about supporting homosexuality.  Once they were staunchly opposed, now most polls showed that blacks generally approved of gay marriage.

Oh yeah? Talk to them in person. Two hot button issues with them are the Jews and gays. You can get all sorts of venom out of that conversation in no time.

His Trumpstatus isn’t the first thing to come to my mind.  He should be in jail.
