Trump on Wikileaks and Snowden (Death Penalty)

originally posted by: undertakerwwefan
Donald Trump was a private citizen. He can say whatever the # he wanted to say

No one is claiming otherwise?...

He clearly expressed his opinion of Snowden and called for his execution over a period of years...

That is the topic...

Don't make this about me, this is about Trump.

Personally I don't have a problem with either of them. I support Snowden and Assange. As long as what they leak is factual I'm all for it. It exposes the corruption going on by those in power.

I'm talking about Trump and his selective judgement on who should be punished and why. He seems to love Assange now that he's releasing hacked classified emails about Clinton but in the past wanted him killed for similar actions. It's obvious why he doesn't care about it now because it's helping him.

That is my concern. That he doesn't have a stance on anything that is solid. That is a dangerous leader.

No doubt in my mind Eric Sowden is a traitor. He broke his oath and he broke the faith. Hard decision time, prosecute him as required by law?

a reply to: undertakerwwefan

Assange is a criminal.
Journalist?
Give me a break.

How the hell is that ?

Snowden ran to RUSSIA.

Assange ran to Ecuador.

WTF???

Who cares where they ran?? You honestly think Trump cares that Snowden went to Russia rather than Ecuador??? If anything he'd approve of Russia more anyway.

But that has nothing to do with the point being made here.

I'm actually with him on this until you get to execution.
That I don't agree with.

But you know that was two years ago and probably someone else's opinion he was touting anyway.

Edward Snowden...his name is Edward...I would have more confidence in your opinion if you got his name correct.

He broke his oath and he broke the faith. Hard decision time, prosecute him as required by law?

Standing trial is a different thing than Trump's conclusions and consequence...

Traitor, disgrace, liar, fraud, piece of human garbage deserving of execution

a reply to: Indigo5

Do not mistake my first comment in this thread for confusion. It was intended to express a more nonchalant "who gives a rat's ass?" response.

To clear up confusion: I don't care what happens to Ed Snowden or Julian Assange under this administration. Snowden exposed US secrets while working as a US Security contractor... That is treason by definition and is punishable via death. Assange is a different cat entirely, as he's not a US citizen and is only functioning as a middle man for a lot of the leaked information. I have no beef with him and wish him no ills. Trump called for the "death penalty or something" on Wikileaks, the group/website/domain... whatever. I don't believe he's ever made a statement directly against Assange, however.

a reply to: Nickn3

Who is he a traitor to??? A corrupt Government. He took an oath to defend the Country and It's People against it's enemies. I can think of no greater enemy than a Corrupt Government working against it's own people can you????

He didn't take an oath to defend the internal enemy of his own nation. He took an oath to defend it. Which is what he did.

I am more concerned with the convenience of principles that Trump and his supporters display and what that means in consequences in the coming years.

Do leakers deserve execution? Are they "pieces of human garbage?"...it appears that entirely depends on whether the leaks benefit one man.

Time to search Trumps Twitter account and find these.

Indeed WTF!

Where was that FAUX outrage when the current potus was droning American citizens over the last eight years?

a reply to: Indigo5

Yes!! That is the real issue in my opinion.

The rest are just details. What's going to matter and what is really going to change all our lives in real ways is Trumps "Convenience of Principles."

(Nice way to put it too. BTW)

Next?

a reply to: mOjOm

When Trump has a kill list. Then people might have something to snip about.

Until then.

Until he actually takes office.

Back to much to do about nothing.

Aww, come on. There have been many threads regarding the droning of the poorest Arab people.

He'll jail the guy who leaked his taxes and Access Hollywood tape if he catches him.
