Is it true he's not been heard from in over a month?

He’s a snake who betrayed his faux libertarian agenda, by massively helping Trump beat Hilary.

Has also picked some odd enemies. There was a bizarre argument with Ian Hislop.

apparently. the twitter story above is probably seeded by him to remind the world he exists.
I had forgotten about him tbh.

Sky News reporting that he’s to be expelled from the Equadorian Embassy later today, whereupon he’ll be arrested.

That makes no sense. A Libertarian would want to expose life long corrupt corporate politicians like Clinton. Especially one whose party is becoming more left leaning.
His preference makes perfect sense.

The alt-right live in a very very strange space if they think the democrats (and the Clinton's) are left wing.

Excellent.
While it’s undoubtedly true that the US can’t wait to bang him up for a very long time for wiki leaks-related stuff, I can have no sympathy for him. Jumping bail in the UK, resisting extradition to Sweden to face sex charges, and bringing two (failed) human rights cases against Ecuador for, inter alia, objecting to them asking to clear up his cat’s shit and to pay for damage he caused by skateboarding in the embassy. Knob.

some in the US have suggested he gets banged up. there is not officially or publically an warrant for his arrest or application to a court for this (so i understand unless changed). there are claims of a sealed indictment that sits silently, waiting for him to leave the embassy, but on what actual charge? hosting a computer system abroad that some else sent data to? traditionally you cant extradite people for crimes committed in other countries, even espionage. i very much hope on arrest there will be nothing from the US, and he'll see he's just wasted 9 years on paranoia.
Yes, that’s a more accurate description. On the other hand, Trumpski surely won’t be able to resist the publicity and appeal to populism to just leave him alone?
I must admit, there’s a great deal of schadenfreude to be had if the US did just shrug their shoulders though

He worked with Putin and his murderous regime.
The reason, anger that the US Administration under the Democrats sough his arrest.

Plenty of left wing people in the Democrats ranks and it's growing.
Look how much coverage is given to the clown that is AOC. Being hailed as the next big thing by many Dems.

The US is more murderous than the Russians. O'Bomber and those who preceded him loved to kill people. All the people making a big deal about a few Russians hacking when the US has actually been trying to influence election for 50 years which is the biggest reason for the world's issues, not the Russians.
Their relevance and power has waned over the years. China has surpassed them as a far bigger threat.
