So the first person was charged with leaking classified documents and her name is Reality Winner. This can't be real life right? Tha alien warlords must be interfering.

Making a thread just to mock her name is really poor form.

My apologies if it was tone deaf. It wasn't really a mock of her name, as much as I am completely just flabbergasted that we live in a world where Donald Trump is president and we are going after a woman with this specific name for the crime of leaking things in the white house and this is not a bad movie. But yes, I guess it is critical of her name. It really is just feeling overwhelmed. I would delete the thread, but I know that is also bad form. So will just say sorry. I really cannot believe that any of this is happening. And that if someone wrote a movie with this exact plot line no one would make it because it was the most ridiculous thing ever.
ETA; I know she is in for a world of shit despite working on good intentions -- I am sorry if I added to it in any way.

Making a thread just to mock her name is really poor form. I agree. I'm not sure if anyone noticed but I thought it was sexist that the press chose a picture of her in a skimpy tank top to be the main picture for the headline. i understand she's under criminal investigation but it doesn't sit right with me.

I assumed it was maybe the only publicly available picture (like on her FB profile or something). The media here used it, too.

It stood out to me today on my google news. she was there in her skimpy tank top underneath Wray in his business attire suit. But who knows. It could be the only photo of her available.

I'm sad for her too. I read an article about her and she can speak 4 languages. I don't know why that stuck out to me but damn girl, how did you not know you'd get caught? Some people just aren't the smartest, for whatever reason.

I did not realize it was her real name either, so I don't there there was likely any ill intent with this thread. JMHO since I also did a head tilt when I first saw the story and wondered if it was legit.

She was denied bail. Not a surprise, but they are gunning for her hard.

She leaked classified information. She should go to jail. She knew what she was doing. Laughing she would get off because she was pretty and would cry in court? Yeah no pity for her.
