Majority of Americans want Ed Snowden charged

When the day comes, and it will, i would nominate Snowden to lead the Tribunal of three to judge all those who violated their oaths to the Constitution, and charge them with treason. Presiding over their trials and listen to prosecutors and defense lawyers before sentencing.
 
Most Americans have no problem being literally stripped and ass raped by jackboots in airports, "for their own safety."

Most Americans are fucking mentally handicapped sheep.
 
Boobus wants him hung.

Media spin.
In other news:

Sixty percent Forty percent said they believe his disclosures in no way harmed U.S. security, according to a November
Washington Post-ABC News poll.

And 55 percent 45 percent said they think he did the "wrong right thing" in leaking information to the media about the government's sweeping surveillance efforts.

More than Only about half of Americans (52 percent) said that Snowden should be charged with a crime for disclosing the NSA's sweeping intelligence-gathering efforts. In fact Just 38 percent said he should not be charged at all.
 
Poll: 73 Percent Of Americans Unable To Believe This Shit


PRINCETON, NJ–According to the latest Gallup Poll, conducted Monday and Tuesday of this week, nearly three out of four Americans can no longer believe this shit.

In addition to the 73 percent of poll respondents who described this shit as "beyond belief," 9 percent said they could "hardly" believe this shit, with another 5 percent "just barely" believing it. An additional 13 percent said they "couldn't give a flying fuck about the whole goddamn thing."

The poll also found that the National Shit-Credulity Index (NSCI) has hit an all-time low, with only 2 percent of Americans describing themselves as "fully confident of [their] capacity to believe this shit."

"The American people have had to deal with this kind of shit for years," Gallup Organization president Lee Sanderson said, "but now, for the first time, it appears that the vast majority of them just can't fucking believe it anymore."

"In all honesty, who can blame them?" Sanderson added. "Regardless of one's political affiliation, socioeconomic status, religion or just about any other viewpoint, you've got to admit, the shit that's been going on lately is way out of hand."

In the wake of the poll, many activists are calling upon America's leaders to get their shit in gear.

"The American people have had it up to here with this shitheap," said James Schuerholz, president of the D.C.-based Heritage Foundation. "There is a public mandate for our leaders to cut this shit out, and it's high time they finally did."

Despite Americans' incredulity over this shit, historians note that this sort of shit has been going on for years and is unlikely to end anytime soon.

"Contrary to popular belief, this type of shit is hardly anything new," Harvard University American history professor Lawrence Coombs said. "The same shit was going down 50, 100 and 150 years ago. The only difference was, back then, you never read about that shit in the newspapers."

Calling the American people's enormous shit-belief capacity "one of the cornerstones of our democracy," U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) stressed that it is the patriotic duty of all citizens to grant our leaders the benefit of the doubt with regard to their shit.

"If the American people are no longer willing to believe this shit, who will?" Kerry said. "Somebody's got to take this shit at face value. Otherwise, why are we even doing all this shit in the first place? I am truly saddened by the lack of faith that the citizens of this country are willing to put in my shit, as well as that of my esteemed colleagues. We must repair our society's fraying trust in the shit of our elected officials, or you would not believe the kind of hardcore, heavy-duty shit that will come down."

"America," conservative author and social critic Patricia Stouffer said, "is seriously losing its shit. But we've got to somehow hold our shit in place until all this passes. We've got to learn to believe in shit again. After this latest shitstorm, it may take years to accomplish, but we must somehow find the strength to put our trust back into the nation's shit."

Despite such impassioned calls for faith in the U.S. political system and all the shit that comes with it, if the Gallup Poll is any indication, the majority of Americans are no longer willing to put up with the shit.

"Fuck that shit," said Evansville, IN, day-care provider Helen Reiderer. "I'm tired of hearing about it. Do they actually expect us to still believe that load of shit?"

"If you ask me, the shit is about to hit the fan," said Reiderer's husband Frank. "As far as I'm concerned, all that shit is just too much to be believed."

Another disgruntled citizen, Wenatchee, WA, tractor salesman Tom Huard, summed up the sentiments of most Americans when, holding up the front page of the local newspaper to friend Benjamin Pritchard, he said, "Jesus, Ben, can you believe this?"

"Shit, no," Pritchard replied.

I think Snowden should be charged - first, it puts the USG position legally on the record, which may be significant in the future treason prosecutions of various leaders of the national security state; and second, it provides the opportunity for a jury of his peers to acquit him.

There's something to this. Having people publicly suffer from the regimes injustice while they expose that injustice to the world is the kind of thing that actually has a proven track record of making a difference, unlike politics and violence.
 
I think Snowden messed with Secret Service and FBI also. Snowden must be charged.

Interesting. I don't see how he "messed with" either, but even if he had, tell me, is your allegiance to government employees or is it to the Constitution?

I'm supposed to believe that an election is going to "save" this country, huh?

Certainly not a national election. Even 8 years of Rand Paul would only slightly reduce the size of the federal government. Some of those reductions might even be made up with increases in the size of state and local governments while he was still President. And then when he left, things could continue to get worse so... But, elections can sometimes help.

For example, when the GOP was given 70% of the NH legislature in 2010, many reforms such as jury nullification and a 11% actual cut in the state budget passed.
In Maine, the GOP was given a slight edge in the legislature and for the 1st time since the 1970s, fireworks were legalized.
In AR, a recent Republican majority in the legislature was able to push through gun reforms that the traditionally Democratic legislature refused to pass.

So yes, elections have consequences and sometimes, the consequences are even positive.
 
I don't buy it. Anyone that I know who understand what he did consider him a hero. The government wants to cage him because he didn't respect their authoratah!!!
 
Snowden should face the same level of punishment as General Alexander who lied to Congress. Apparently that would mean retiring Snowden next year with a generous retirement package.
