Prepare To Be Amused As Mike Pence Struggles With Gender Pronouns and Chelsae Manning.
Assange has been arrested. Prosecutors will no doubt try to get Chelsae Manning to roll on Assange, and then get Assange to roll on the Trump Campaign. This will put Trump and his imps in an odd position, for more than one reason. It will involve talking a lot about Chelsea Manning, and being forced to choose gender pronouns. He/she...Bradley/Chelsae...PRIVATE Manning? Watch Pence struggle for two minutes (starting at the 2:40 mark), trying to avoid calling Manning he, she, Bradley, or Chelsae. Even Brett 'Cheeta' Baier has accepted calling Chelsae Manning 'she.' But Pence is forced to call her 'Private Manning' ten times in two minutes, as he attempts to stay 100 yards away from the issue. I'd like to see how they all avoid a gender pronoun for the next five months.
Meanwhile, Hannity is busy scrubbing his twitter feed of any reference to Assange, because he doesn't want his followers to see him lauding Assange as a hero. Mainly because Assange's FIRST trial is going to be about hacking into the US Military's computers; and not the DNC computers. Good luck with that, Sean.
NOTE: TWITTER has BANNED the practice of 'deadnaming' transgender people. Deadnaming is using a transgender person's birth name and birth gender, instead of the name and gender they've chosen. Let's be on the lookout to see if Trump's twitterfeed calls her 'Bradley Manning,' and see if twitter actually does anything about it. I suspect he'll use 'Bradley,' and twitter will do nothing. But I'm always ready for a pleasant surprise.
