joneo 529 Posted January 13, 2018 https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/chelsea-manning-files-to-run-for-us-senate-in-maryland/ar-AAuDtME?li=BBnb7Kz Chelsea Manning, the transgender former Army private who was convicted of passing sensitive government documents to Wikileaks, has filed to run for the U.S. Senate in Maryland, according to federal election filings. Manning, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment, would be challenging Democrat Ben Cardin, who has served two terms in the Senate and is up for re-election in November. Cardin is Maryland's senior senator and is considered an overwhelming favorite to win a third term. Manning, 30, who is formerly known as Bradley Manning, was convicted in 2013 of the largest leak of classified documents in U.S. history and was sentenced to 35 years in prison. Last year, then President Obama commuted Manning's sentence to time served and she was released from a military prison in Kansas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,659 Posted January 14, 2018 Can he even run? Aren't felons prohibited from holding elected office? Did Obama pardon it or just commute the sentence? If he pardoned, I guess it could. But if it did the crimes when it was a "man" does it count? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EternalShinyAndChrome 2,525 Posted January 14, 2018 Did Obama pardon it or just commute the sentence? If he pardoned, I guess it could. But if it did the crimes when it was a "man" does it count? Read that he commuted to time served, meaning the record still stands - he just got out earlier. Obama basically fast-forwarded his release date if I understand correctly.

wiffleball 4,645 Posted January 14, 2018 I sincerely believe that every institution whether it be an individual a family a community or a nation, begins its inevitable failure as it loses its shame. Lot of things wrong with this country. But it all stems from a lack of Shame. Somewhere along the line we decided shaming was a bad thing. And therefore shame was a bad thing. Personally, I hope somebody goes Matthew Shepard on this guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,564 Posted January 15, 2018 Please stop calling it a him. TYIA I use him. I only recognize two genders so I try always use 'him' or 'her' out of respect for the person as well as the English language. I determine 'him' and 'her' by biology rather than their personal opinion. I do use 'it' but only on the transfluid people who I don't know if it is really a male or female. In Chelsea's case, I happen to know that he is male. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,564 Posted January 15, 2018 What about xxy? Biology gave them a raw deal. They really do get to chose to identify gender however they want, live their lives how they want, and can also feel free to use whichever bathroom they want. I doubt anyone here would disagree. The argument isn't about them, instead it's about XX opting to be XY or XY opting to be XX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
