He didn't run because of what he told the US public about NSA spying. He ran because of what he stole and ran off with that had to do with foreign intel. IMO that is treasonous... That is my problem with it. And why I think he is scum.Not too worried about "barroon." However, I believe that a key characteristic of democracy is transparency in government. When that lack of transparency hides the government's means, methods, and deliberate strategy of spying on its own citizens, that's a problem. When secret courts and watchlists effectively remove citizen's due process, that's a problem. When the .gov wantonly violates the Constitution and the BOR, that's a problem. When .gov officials turn a blind eye to internal complaints so the whistle-blower has no choice but to go public, that's a problem. If that whistle-blower chooses life instead of a post-facto Seth Rich type situation, that's almost to be expected. If some of Uncle's toys and plans get disrupted in the process, that's too bad. Should have maintained transparency and trust in the first place. Kind of a "fruit from the poisoned tree" type scenario IMO.
I looked in the mirror, and sadly, I'm still bald and unattractive. But I'm thankful I dont see whatever you do when you look in the mirror.
