1. Have no idea, I'm watching the zimmy trial stuff for now. Gonna watch the Rev Al Sharpton later

9. LOL. What an informative post. What are you having for dinner?

[JI7]

2. i don't know but read another article where it seemed like even Greenwald was distancing himself

from him.

[Tarheel_Dem]

4. Yup. And now that Assange has put his "stank" on the whole thing, expect even more "distancing". nt

3. Last I heard Snowden was being debriefed by the Russians.

Maybe Snowden is getting too bizarre even for a senator with two first names. Or maybe he has a last name first, then a first name last. I dunno.

5. Has Rand Paul returned the donation?

6. To paraphrase the Immortal Julian Assange:

"He's an informant. He knew what he was getting into. Fuck 'im."

8. The Paul clip that was shown throws Snowden under the bus

indicating that he would "face problems if he cozies up with Russia or China..."

“If he cozies up to the Russian government, the Chinese government, or any of these governments that are perceived still as enemies of ours, I think that will be a real problem for him,”

10. Rand Paul wants 2016 real bad

[BumRushDaShow]

12. I am still trying to figure out

what prompted this libertarian to suddenly embrace neocon talking points.

Only 2 reasons I could come up with is money and promise of power.

14. It is freaking hilarious

[Coyotl]

11. Any chance you could edit that short sentence post to add an iota of real information and substance

Like for example, the details. Or, do you assume the entire globe is tuned into your personal channel?

Jst saying, I remember when DU had real threads, not partial thoughts for posts.

15. So, if "Mr. Clapper lied in Congress in defiance of the law" what is rand Paul doing about it?

Besides spouting at the mouth on national media?

[malaise]

16. No he is only ditching him because of the foreign 'problems'

Get real - Rand is a ReTHUG scumbag
