Chelsea Manning eyes U.S. Senate seat for Maryland

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.

[...] Democratic Senator Ben Cardin was elected in 2006 to that seat and is expected to run for re-election this year. He is the senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Cardin was easily re-elected in 2012, beating his Republican challenger by 30 points in the heavily-Democratic state.

    Does it hurt to be this completely, utterly, fractally wrong? Because if not, that's a good argument for atheism or maltheism right there...

    I could do without the prayer, but Trump has to give it lip service. Even Obama pretended to be Christian.

    I voted for Trump. I figured he wouldn't try to keep his promises, but Hillary would, and her promises were pure evil.

    Much to my delight, Trump has been getting promises fulfilled.

      Are you sure you're an atheist? Remember, you can worship something and not be religious in the traditional sense, but still have a God. Even if it's money, power, or "haha take that, everyone who doesn't think like me."
