The event in question happened during the Bush Administration, was litigated during the Obama Administration, and continued through the Trump and Biden Administrations. It’s hard to get more bipartisan than that. The vent is the long-sought extradition of Julian Assange, for publishing in WikiLeaks the information provided by Chelsea Manning.

Back in the 1980s, I discovered science fiction. I was captivated by authors like Robert Silverberg, Arthur Clarke, Jerry Pournelle, and a lot of others. I found my way to Frank Herbert and the Dune novels, and they were a marvelous read (I never thought of cinnamon in quite the same way after reading them).
