    It’s disgusting to me how liberals will be like “whistle-blowers are heroes” then demand that Showden be brought in.

    the concept of ratting on the government is admirable, but actually doing it is ratty.

      Eh, the tune changed extremely quick the moment “Russiagate” hit. Just now they were making a movie about Assange and Snowden, suddenly he’s a “kremlin asset” and “useful idiot”. Liberals have never been honest about their supposed admiration for the whistleblowers.

      As soon as things may affect their hegemony, they go mask off so fast…

      Seeing the president of Azerbaijan calling out the BBC on Assange and watching the “journalist” squirm was hilarious, with the BBC cutting out that part of the interview lol.

    Julian Assange should have gone to Russia in the first place as well

      Snowden was actually going to Ecuador but US cancelled his passport while he was flying to Russia to get a connection

        Sadly, my first thought upon hearing the news was also “Is he going to get drafted?”

        The answer is no, btw. Not eligible.
