Chelsea Manning to run for U.S. Senate

[Honey Badger282.8]

Can convicted felons even run?

Yes. As an aside, politicians do not require a security clearance. Once elected, all they have to do is pledge an oath applicable to the information. If Manning were to win, there is nothing preventing him from sitting on any committee, so long as he takes an oath.

Yes, I believe that they can, but I believe that they often lose their voting rights as convicted felons.

It varies by state but most felons get voting rights back at some point.

Exhibit A - I present Rhonda Fields (d) Aurora.
The sponsor of HB 1224, which limits magazine capacity.
Convicted of felony forgery in the early 90's.
The vile gash meets the definition of a "Prohibited Person" and possession of a firearm would be a felony.

But yet she can dictate to us what we may possess.........





Manning should be hanging from a gallows.

Marin Berry Wash D.C. won a 4th term conviction for cocaine.


Ted Kennedy got away with murder and was re-elected how many times.

But Trump called Haiti a shithole - he should be impeached for speaking the truth!

It might be novel to have an actual CONVICTED traitor in the senate, instead of just a bunch of democrats and RINOs.
