I understand that there is room available in the Saudi Embassy.
And you don't even have to clean up. They'll do that for you when

Fuck that guy, hope he gets whats coming to him.
Yea at one time I would of supported this guy but he really fucked america over.
I thought Assange was a hero of the left?
I have GOT to find a smaller rock to live under.

More a hero of libertarians.I thought Assange was a hero of the left?

Like I said, I really need a smaller rock.
It's possible I'm thinking of the wrong guy, was this the fellow that went to Russia to avoid being arrested?
Thank you.You need to read threads before you chime in. You're thinking of Snowden.
That may vary from state to state.Yeah, in the US, Failure To Appear on a felony carries a maximum two year sentence.

Kick the bum out.And now (you can't make this stuff up) Assange is suing Ecuador for "violating his fundamental rights" because they want him to pay for his own expenses like food, medical and laundry, keep the spaces inside the embassy clean, and take care of his cat.
His lawyer accused the Ecuadorian government of "not doing enough."
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
I'd just boot him to the curb, after notifying any countries that might still be interested in him as to the exact time of his exit from the embassy.

Assange is the best argument against a free open internet... Fuckers like him is why we cant have nice things. This little nobody woke one day and thought, I need to get into geopolitics, cause that is how important I am and my hatred for certain political elements.. So he sold his platform out to russian operatives and targeted clinton in an american presidential election.Nope. Though, as well as the libertarian angle, personally I'd say he's a good exemplar of how politics has gotten more complicated than it used to be. I used to think the cliche about 'extreme left meeting extreme right' was bollocks, but these days something a little like that does indeed seem to have happened. Probably largely thanks to Putin.
Also, I reckon you can't discount the fact that some people just have seriously flawed personalities, regardless of politics. I mean, if you really believed (and had real reason to believe) that the US establishment was out to get you by any means necessary, why the hell would you go around behaving like some priapic, woman-disrespecting, '70s rock star?
He never really was. That ended when he published the emails the Russians hacked from the DNC, anyway.
Yeah, we loved him until he showed the corruption within our own party.
Heh, gotta love the self-admittance on the bias.

You're distorting what he said. Did you not notice the "he never really was" part?
Manning's leaks may have been helpful to the left by exposing things the Bush administration wanted to keep quiet (such as the number of civilian deaths in the Iraq War), but I don't think there's much dispute that WikiLeaks was irresponsible in how it published data, and people on the left had misgivings about it even then. Assange has increasingly made it clear that he uses leaks as a weapon to target people and organizations he doesn't like, not to promote accountability like he claims.
To me, the issue with WikiLeaks' DNC disclosure is that it very likely knew this data originated from hacks (it may have even known who was behind the hacks), and that it accepted the data because it wanted to hurt the DNC, not because there was some horrible secret inside.
Besides, WikiLeaks seems less and less interested in the truth. It pushed the bogus Seth Rich conspiracy; it promoted those "Macron leaks" where a number of them included known fake data. Assange isn't and likely never was a hero of free speech -- he's just a self-important man who craves publicity. Kick him out of the embassy, extradite him, and make sure he spends the rest of his life in prison.

Reuters is reporting in their 3 minute read that Ecuador will no longer represent Assange when it comes to dealing with GB.
