TV gif. Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy in Buffy The Vampire Slayer looks over at someone with tearful eyes and a sad frown. She nods her head, then covers her eyes with a tissue that’s in her hand, and sobs into it.

Resolving YES

I'm so happy I lost on this question!

he's on his way to Bangkok en route to Guam for the trial then on to AU 🧡

bought Ṁ200 YES

This is basically a proxy question for the following two questions:


Will Trump be elected (it seems likely he'll pardon assange https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-29/usa-donald-trump-seriously-considering-pardoning-julian-assange/103905214) - I'm very bullish on this and put probabilities higher than 80%.

Would Assange move to Australia upon release? Given his high levels of support from australians and the PM himself, this too seems likely. I'd put more money in but this isn't a busy market so won't bother, yet.
