Jill Stein says Edward Snowden would be in her cabinet if she becomes president

[Cali_Democrat]

Would she make him Secretary of State? Secretary of Defense? Treasury Secretary? Attorney General?

Jill Stein is a total crackpot.

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein answered questions from voters Tuesday night during an hour-long live video on Facebook.

Stein was the Green nominee in 2012 and is expected to get the presidential nomination again at the Green Party convention early next month. She appealed to Bernie Sanders supporters after the Vermont Senator announced his endorsement of Hillary Clinton earlier in the day.

Jill Stein said NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden would be a member of her cabinet if she’s elected president.

1. What a fool. Regardless of whether one approves of Snowden's whistle blowing

(as I do), there is nothing in his training or skill set that would make him appropriate as a cabinet member. She is just pandering--and not cleverly, either.

[stopbush]

52. Exactly. Apparently she picks cabinet members based on their current celebrity

and if so doing sticks a thumb in the eye of "the establishment."

[bettyellen]

2. Tee hee. I'm sorry but the Green Party is making itself irrelevant.

[BobbyDrake]

9. That's an inherent part of their strategy, though. By making themselves unelectable, they're never

responsible for anything. All they have to do is complain, but in such a way that makes them unpalatable to a majority of voters. That way, they never lose their purity by soiling themselves with the dirty work of making tangible progress.

The "Green Party" is a movement for perpetual losers, whiners, and complainers.

On a side note, who is Jill's competition? Who else is running for the Green Party nomination, or is Jill Stein getting herself a "coronation" at their convention? When does that arrogant asshole get herself a primary challenger??

[Tal Vez]

3. She can promise to make OJ head of FBI for all I care. She is just embarrassing herself.

[Scurrilous]

4. There isn't one cabinet position he's remotely qualified to run.

[frazzled]

8. Not to mention ...

the fact that he'd have to attend meetings of the Cabinet via computer from Russia: kind of a national security risk, I should think.

Not to mention as well that it would be a first to appoint to a cabinet position an individual facing criminal charges in his own country .

Jill Stein is a true dodo head.

[NCTraveler]

5. I don't get what she is doing.

Its just nuts.

[SaschaHM]

17. Pandering for votes. She's trying to make herself the cool Aunt since Bernie's out.

I give her a week before she starts promising free government kush.

[NCTraveler]

22. Here's the thing.

They have a platform that consists of many thing large groups of people are warm to, including the group she is targeting here. Those should be her bread and butter.

[msanthrope]

23. I want to buy this post a drink. nt

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

33. This....

The fucking idiots "tired of the system, maaaaaaaaaan" think Snowden would be just awesome in the cabinet.

They are moonbats and so is "Doctor" Stein.

[PoliticAverse]

31. What she is doing is making outrageous statements to get publicity. Which is apparently working...

based on the OP's thread.

[bluedye33139]

6. Why can't there be legitimate third parties in the US?

Like, why do third parties end up being people who lack the ability to deal with others and to persuade others? Why are third parties all made up of Naders and Steins and LaRouches? It's bizarre.

[TreasonousBastard]

7. I thought the more extreme Berniacs were a little misguided, but...

she must think they are stupid.

Perhaps it's a masterminded plot after all- if she's nuts enough, she'll send all of Bernie's people over to Hillary.

[cosmicone]

10. ...

[Maru Kitteh]

45. They're hypnotic Cos!

Like the Rockettes.

[cosmicone]

58. LOL! n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Maybe stored with the kitchen cleansers.

Loonies, all of them.

[cosmicone]

12. Green Party is a Republican Superpac

designed to elect republicans to various offices.

[CrowCityDem]

13. Green is right, since she is clearly sick.

[The Second Stone]

14. I'd have Charlie Sheen in my cabinet as Drug Czar

the most experienced and qualified man for the job. Each are equally likely to happen.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

15. Having a whistleblower in the cabinet is a good idea.

There are plenty of crooked politicians that need someone in the cabinet to bring them into the open.

[jcgoldie]

21. yeah right

No its just stupid.

[msanthrope]

25. The kitchen cabinet, maybe. I mean you totally want to know what that Mr. Clean bastid

is up to at all times.

In reality, Jill seems in a bit of a hurry to end this.

[hrmjustin]

16. .

No words!

[JoePhilly]

18. And Marine One would be replaced by a Unicorn!

[Bobbie Jo]

19. I can't even.

[JI7]

20. hahahahaha

[LostOne4Ever]

24. So that will be on a day that doesn't end in "y"

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=#009999]Cause she ain't ever going to be president.

EVER.[/font]

[DemocraticWing]

26. Jill Stein isn't even qualified for the cabinet herself.

The country would go to shit in two weeks unless she picked a bunch of Democrats to bail her out and keep the government afloat.

[liberal N proud]

27. How serious can you take a fringe loon like this?

[Adrahil]

28. What a maroon.... NT

[Raine1967]

29. Oh come on, Jill. Be realistic, make him and ambassador in Russia!

[rbrnmw]

30. OK then

[Maru Kitteh]

48. LOL!

PERFECT.

[AgingAmerican]

32. And some folks can't get through the day without enemies

[TwilightZone]

37. Nope, she's the competition.

Our candidate is running against Trump, Johnson, and Stein, not just Trump. Stein isn't much of a threat, but her attention-seeking utter lack of suitability for the presidency deserves to be exposed.

[AgingAmerican]

38. She is a non entity

Once upon a time the Democratic party refused to engage in such petty nonsense. It only occurred on the right. I think some folks just need scapegoats.

[Maru Kitteh]

49. I think some folks believe when a poster says bad things about Stein on DU

somewhere, an innocent puppy has a sad.

Trump/Johnson/Stein - they're all in the same bag. Just like Dubya was, and they'll get the same treatment here. Democratic Underground is in the business, like Bernie Sanders, of supporting the Democratic nominee.

[Cali_Democrat]

39. I love attacking Republicans and their enablers...

[AgingAmerican]

40. I don't need enemies to function

[Cali_Democrat]

41. Who said you need enemies to function? nt

[Sheepshank]

61. this appears to be a recent change of heart n/t

[AgingAmerican]

62. Not at all

[nolawarlock]

46. Lol

Passive-aggressively push third party however it gets you around the rules here, but if you really think Jill Stein attempting to put Snowden in any major position is wise, I am deeply worried for you.

[TheDebbieDee]

34. I think Snowden was a Soviet Spy from the get-go! I can't prove it, tho.

But it's what I believe... But even if he wasn't a spy, I don't think he's a hero.

[Recursion]

59. I think he was a CIA plant in the NSA

And is now a CIA asset in Russia. The fact that only NSA stuff got leaked, and no CIA stuff, despite the fact that he worked for the CIA before the NSA, is telling.

[MohRokTah]

35. What a moronic NUTJOB!

[Jamaal510]

36. That gives me

even more of an incentive to never vote for Jill Stein.

[Cali_Democrat]

60. Same here. nt

[betsuni]

42. I thought this said Edward Scissorhands would be in her cabinet.

Snowden, Scissorhands, whatever.

[randome]

54. And Walter White for head of the DEA.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]"If you're bored then you're boring." -Harvey Danger[/center][/font][hr]

[herding cats]

43. See? This is why the Green Party is not a contender.

It's because they have pitiful, weak leaders like Stein. She is one of the least sincere, pandering idiots in politics. Hands down. You can't have someone like that as the face of your party and expect anything good to come of it.

[L. Coyote]

44. Desperation sucks.

[Maru Kitteh]

50. Indeed it must. nt

[nolawarlock]

47. Who's next? Julian Assange?

Heck, why not just appoint Charles Manson in charge of race relations? She's just a complete moron who will say anything to be newsworthy.

[RandySF]

51. She's making promises based on what she reads on forums.

[JSup]

53. Does she also...

...promise us cake every morning for breakfast and ice cream every night for dinner?

[NurseJackie]

55. Myrna Loy describes Jill Stein ...

[treestar]

56. LOL

He could be SOS and he could have a public email system so we could all see everything in the name of transparency.

[DanTex]

57. And at the same time she thinks Hillary should be prosecuted for her email server.

Green Party stupidity and hypocrisy knows no bounds.
