Shouldn’t it read “his” sentence? Shouldn’t it be “he” has served time???

As I understand it, “Chelsea” Manning is a biological male, with all the male characteristics you can think of.

So then, why does the media persist in calling “he” a “she”????

Wow, you posted this with perfect timing. My son and I were just cracking jokes on each other and I said, “yea but what if you agree to be an organ donor and some female says, “I want his deck and balls.”

Considering he gave the info to Wikileaks, I doubt he gets mercy from Obama.

If I were a betting person, I would wager that Chelsea is already on a lengthy list of possibly shameless pardons.

(I do not pretend to know. But I do recall Mister Clinton's pardoning of some highly icky criminals at the end of his alleged presidency, and it goes to precedence. )

The mainstream press’ determination to change our concept of gender is perhaps one reason why voters revolted and went for Trump. Liberalism is by nature arrogant and condescending. And to whatever degree that did have some blowback.

Sorry, Corporal, he’s got several thousand black criminals ahead of you. Although, treason is a good mark in your favor when he does his reviews.
