    This is a real win for Biden. Despite all of Trump’s praise for Wikileaks, he did nothing about Assange.

    Of course, this wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t an election year, but it’s still a win.

      In my opinion, absolutely. His legal exile lasted far too long… I think most people won’t even know this happened unless the late night shows pick it up.

        I wonder how many people even remember who he is without a refresher at this point. The general public’s memory is short.

      If only our politicians fought as hard for things during the non-election years too.

        This shit is so frustrating.

        YOU apathetic fuckers don’t PAY ATTENTION when it’s not an election year.

        Stuff is still happening when you aren’t looking at it.
