WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Chelsea Manning, the transgender U.S. Army soldier who served seven years in military prison for leaking classified data, is seeking the Democratic Party’s nomination for the U.S. Senate seat from Maryland, according to Federal election filings seen on Saturday.

Manning, who was granted clemency by former U.S. President Barack Obama, was released in May from a U.S. military prison in Kansas where she had been serving time for passing secrets to the WikiLeaks website in the biggest breach of classified data in the history of the United States.

Ha ha...I believe the horse’s name was Incitatus, his favorite horse. Why not? The Roman Empire lasted another 450 years after Caligula, and God knows, we have the Roman Senate right now?

Prison? Hell, let’s go back to the way it used to be? Truth be told, back many many decades ago, Mr. Chelsea would have been shot.

They said that if Moore had been elected last month the Senate had the power to kick him out.As a convicted felon sentenced to 35 years Brad certainly should be kicked out the first day he sullied his seat.

No, it should be dead. Treason is a death penalty offense and this thing went far and above committing it. And the enemies of this country like B. Hussein not only rewarded this enemy of the country by having me and you pay for its perversions while in prison, he also rewarded it by giving it a pardon. And not surprisingly, mere days after it was released from prison it was posting messages on Twitter asking for the violent overthrow of the USA which is proof positive why traitors should be executed. And now, it’s running for Senate, and if it wins we will have yet ANOTHER enemy of the United states in office.

Ineligible for Federal employment thanks to that DD, but can run for the Senate as a democrat...

He’s a perfect fit amongst the treasonous freaks and perverts that make up the U.S. Senate. He’ll be right at home.

“I believe the horse’s name was Incitatus, his favorite horse”

There are a number of half horses in elected positions at the present time. The back half.

The Republicans have Roy Moore and the Democrats appear to have Manning.

This is how it works. Become famous, think that you’re good, run for office.

In the current insane climate, he/she/it just might get elected. After all, bruce jenner’s pic on the cover of a national mag proves it - dickchoppers are cool!

“His last job went well with him handling Secrets”

To libs that’s a major qualification, couple that to his disfigurement status, he/she/it is a shoe in.

IMO, the dem party entered the self destruct mode when it started to favor identity politics. This Manning thing can only aid in that destruction.

HE is a deranged mentally ill MAN. Whenever the media attempts to force this language change on us, it is our duty to correct the errors. I would propose that we actually go so far as to edit any fake news stories that use this newspeak to reflect reality.

We can’t let the media dictate to us what language is proper.

Highlighting by me.
Manning, who was granted clemency by former U.S. President Barack Obama, was released in May from a U.S. military prison in Kansas where she had been serving time for passing secrets...

A DNA test would put an end to this masquerade.

Little known fact ignored by media... Moore passed several lie detector tests. And some of his accusers admitted to lying.
