Trump rips 'ungrateful' Chelsea Manning after Obama criticism

But that didn’t stop Manning from writing a Guardian column on Thursday pining for “a strong and unapologetic progressive to lead us.”

“Unfortunately, despite [Obama’s] faith in our system and his positive track record on many issues over the last eight years, there have been very few permanent accomplishments,” wrote Manning, who added that Obama’s detractors have criticized the former president for being “too weak, or too soft or too sympathetic.”

Manning wrote: "The one simple lesson to draw from President Obama’s legacy: do not start off with a compromise."

Trump defends Obama? On this one incident, anyway. DJT needs to commute Saucier’s sentence.

This arrogant little sh!t needs to spend more time in the slammer. He apparently thinks that a commutation of sentence equates to him suddenly gaining some moral high ground.

What did he say at his trial? The issues in the stolen documents was above his pay grade? May I suggest the same is true here?

No, I think Manning is criticizing 0bama, but I might not really understand the dynamics here.

Correct and I hope Trump understands that.

No downside to this....everyone hates Manning right and left. And giving a teeny bit of support to Obama over nothing while at the same time taking a swipe at him for releasing him ain’t going to hurt.

The guy had maturity issues before the Army ever got to recruiting him. They simply weren’t smart enough to grasp how much trouble he was....or that they should have thrown the guy into some chow-hall and just make it a cook...rather than give him a security clearance.

Same with Bergdahl as well.

I think taxpayers paid to have it cut off.

I think the Army was going to pay for it but, since his commutation was announced, the Army backtracked and is refusing to do so.

“I think taxpayers paid to have it cut off.

Nope, he’s still got it. Mark my words, now that “Chelsea” doesn’t have to use the “I’m really a woman” routine anymore as a “get out of jail free” card, he will now in short order, go back to being a man. He isn’t going to cut off anything. He may still claim his deviancy status in order to use it to keep a base of support and as a platform from which to voice his propaganda, however, I’ll bet you he never cuts it off, although I wish he would in order to neuter him, so to speak.

I will be surprised if he doesn’t off himself.

Nope. He was going to get it done. Now that Obama commented the sentence instead of a pardon, he is kicked out of the Army with a BCD and not eligible for a free dick cut off. He will have to find a job (difficult with BCD), liberal group or some other way to get it paid for. Military and Federal Government are out.

Some recruiter must have needed a quota? How did he make it through basic?

Perfect candidate for first human to go to Mars, because no one on earth likes his ass now.
