THE ERA OF TRUMP

[Speaker to Animals]

I suppose he could attempt to claim asylum, but after being shown such merciful clemency by the American Commander-in-Chief, I don't see what grounds that would be on.

Because we refuse to use his wrong pronoun.

Oh, so if you persecute him for being a Tranny? I suppose that might be a case which could be reviewed, but he's likely to need a full pardon to get past Citizenship and Immigration Canada, clemency ain't gonna be enough, he did after all, plead guilty to the offence.

I'm pretty sure we can figure out how to convince your chief band teacher to virtue signal over something and take him in.

[Smitty-48]

He doesn't have that authority, the Prime Minister does not have the power to commute, nor pardon, nor intervene in any way, it's entirely the purview of the judiciary; tell it to the judge, the PM has no say.

[SuburbanFarmer]

You have to take him, or risk the mighty wrath of the LGBTQKKK

[Speaker to Animals]

What kind of system are you guys running over there?

[Smitty-48]

Again, it's not a political decision, and judges here do not have to stand for election, so they don't care if they are not popular, and so don't rule along populist lines.

[Speaker to Animals]

Well, I guess President Trump will have to pardon him before stripping him of his citizenship.

[Smitty-48]

Once stripped of his citizenship, he would not have standing to make a claim, if you want to send Bradley Manning to Canada, you will need to send him with a passport of course.

Goes through the judiciary, with all the eyes dotted and tees crossed, or it doesn't go at all; we are nothing, if not sticklers for procedure.

[Speaker to Animals]

Well, now look what happens when you make us drop people in the middle of the ocean.

[Smitty-48]

Well, now look what happens when you make us drop people in the middle of the ocean.

Well, quite sure we would villify you for your barbarism, but ultimately not have any repsonsibility for it, as per usual.

If you are want to behave like the Taliban, or the Islamic State, go right ahead, that's not our fault tho.

[Smitty-48]

To be clear, I don't bear any malice towards Bradley Manning, and I don't see why you would neither, it's not like he's a spy who fled to Russia, committed an offence, yes, but was court martialed appropriately for it, pled guilty to the charge, convicted by his peers, rendered to detention barracks, and then simply had his sentence commuted by the Commander-in-Chief, all seems to be in order here, as per the constitution and UCMJ, thus, upon release, time served; "free to go, have a nice life."
