I'm still reading through everything, but it seems some strange things are afoot with the deep state.

Snowden is an American HERO.

Never read through all the documents that got released way back in the day so this was an interesting listen. Joe let's him talk A LOT.

We need limited government so they cannot power grab. One of the reasons I’m a libertarian that leans moderate.

I think he was a traitor. There are other ways he could have handled it.

No there weren’t. He tried to go through the proper channels multiple times and was shut down. Whistle blowing is the last resort. Government corruption and failure to be held accountable is why whistleblowers exist in the first place. If the government was as ethical as you think they are there wouldn’t be people releasing documents proving they do shady shit all the time.

No need to get into a pissing match just to express your opinion.

I've been screaming for "term limits" for years.
