I could pit both Assange/WikiLeaks and Ecuador here, but I think I’ll go with Ecuador.
It seems that it was perfectly fine with Ecuador when Julian Assange was interfering with the United States, but now he’s interfering with Spain, and Ecuador can’t have that, so they’ve cut off his internet access at their London Embassy.
Placing all bets on him to end his self-imprisonment within a week.
Yeah, you can only play Minesweeper for so long.
Ah, but Hearts… that’s a whole nother thing!
You can pit whoever you like, but keep your facts straight. This is from October, 2016:
The government of Ecuador has directed its embassy in London to cut off the Internet access of long-term guest Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, saying the organization’s recent document releases have had a “major impact” on the U.S. presidential election.
The conditions of Assange’s asylum forbid him from doing anything that would undermine Ecuador’s diplomatic relations, and he’s been repeatedly warned not to meddle in politics. It seems they’ve been more than patient with him. Maybe this time his Internet access will be withdrawn permanently.
Sure, pit the country that took this knucklehead in and protected him from sexual assault charges. He’s like the tech version of Harvey Weinstein, and you are more unhappy that Ecuador isn’t doing MORE to protect him? Ha.
In one of his last tweets before being cutoff, he referred to himself as “a political prisoner detained without charge for 8 years” when a British politician suggested he hand himself over.
Yep, dude is delusional.
Uh, no, I’m pitting them for not doing this before.
Since the election was in November of 2016 and almost everyone thought Hillary would win, I’m calling bullshit.
Ah. Try writing better then.
I’m not sure if you are exaggerating Assange’s behaviour or downplaying Weinstein’s but either way, you’re an idiot.
Ooh, the Wikileaks Devotion Brigade has arrived, and as expected, they’ve brought enough indignancy for everyone.
No, you’re just an idiot. I am not remotely a devotee of Assange, I’m just not as ridiculously angry about him like yourself.
Ans if you’ve ever had your Assange cut off, you know how painful that can be.
I’m just ::crossing fingers:: Pam can still be around to commiserate.
Or something.
Or try putting on your reading glasses. The very first sentence makes it perfectly clear what I was trying to say.
What do you think it will take to get him out of the Embassy? No Internet has been done. No electronics of any kind? It’s like grounding a teenager. No video games for a week mister! Just look what happened in Catalonia!
Parental control software so that he is limited to 7pm-9pm weeknights. Porn, facebook and games only.
Fuck! I knew the whole “Michael Jackson is Dead” thing was a hoax! He just got a thesaurus.
It does not. You just said you could Pit either; not for which purpose. That’s why I suggested you write more clearly.
