Blinken, Sullivan, Milley, and Austin should have been fired after the Afghanistan debacle...

Snowden Revealed their corruption

[@cambriawellness3102]

Thank you for bring on Aaron Mate!

[@larryolsen4422]

As an American citizen..NO.! Snowden is not a traitor 😮

[@James-hb8qu]

He caused massive damage unrelated to what you praise him for. He could have been a whistleblower but instead made your neighbors less safe.

[@peterh9180]

@@James-hb8quyou need to take the red pill and wake up. You still live in the matrix.

[@James-hb8qu]

@@peterh9180 dude, I made the red pill you took. Being red pilled means using data and facts instead of emotion. The fact is that Snowden released alot of stuff that had nothing to do with illegal government activities and that release harmed national security and endangered our neighbors.

[@TBird5790]

@@James-hb8qu How? He has opened the eyes of everyday Americans to the illegal and immoral invasion of our lives by evesdropping in our everyday lives. How does THAT make us safe? Try to keep up, and stop parroting what the RINOs and Left Wing Democrats are feeding you. Tell what that massage damage was? What was it? And can you prove it, or just repeat another accusation. Have you ever watched an interview where he explains how the Intelligence community has invaded every part of our lives through Cell Phones, Smart TVs and the like? And if you did, did you consider what he said, or did you already have your teeny tiny mind made up? I didn't think so.

Snowden is a whistleblower not a traitor.

[@patted44]

No, he did not 'break the law'. Whistleblowers do not break the law when they expose illegality by governmenty

The roaches are running, the light has been turned on!

[@oceania2385]

Wasn't Chelsea Manning considered a brave non binary whistle blower and pardoned ? Perhaps Snowden should have transitioned he could be walking free today.

[@bluebird3281]

Walking funny but free. If the left didn't have the double standard, they would have no standard at all

[@alexandras5347]

Appreciate Aaron's analysis on this topic. The most straightforward strengths/weaknesses of Tulsi's confirmation I've seen across platforms.

[@Ol-T1864]

The two party system prefers weak executive branch that bends to their interests.

[@MonsoonWeil]

There is no such thing as the US and never has been since thirteen colonies overthrew the British. What does Nebraska have in common with NY? Or Hawaii with Idaho? Or perhaps Mississippi with Rhode Island. Please, the balkanization of America is next. And this is what is needed.

Wise.
