Trump WAS threatened by Mitch McConnell and senators though...
Agree
McConnell’s threat would’ve been easily followed through on.
Frankly I don’t know how any executive can defy the deep state and expect to keep their job. An honest media would be imperative and we all know such does not exist.
That and not forcing Wall $$$$$$$ on the first budget
Assange and Snowden are scumbags
He shouldn’t have discussed it (nor a lot of other things) with that stable of traitors - just wait until the last minute and do it.
Don’t forget Sirhan Sirhan. Shouda done it on the 50th anniversary of Chappaquidditck in 2019.
If Trump gets in again, he needs to swing for the fences and have no fear of anyone. The Left doesn’t compromise and we should not either. Use the power. Use all of it. Be bolder than the Left. Make the world new.
Pompeo was the one behind this. This was the danger in allowing RINOs into the Trump admin.
Pompeo was crowing with joy over the Biden admin getting to finish off Assange.
Disagree. Snowden is a traitor who stole 1.7 million secret documents and gave it to first China and then Russia. Classic ego case. He thought he is going to be famous and admired by all. Instead he is sitting in Russia drinking himself to death like the other traitors.
Assange is Australian so perhaps not right to call him a traitor, but he is a sick anti-western activist.
His initial claim to fame was somehow getting a hold of secret technical documents about the Warlock IED jamming system. These were secret for a reason. He published these to the world saying “See, this is how you can beat the system! How sad!” knowing full well how this publishing of secret information is only going to help the bomb-makers to kill more Americans and allies.
His meteor rise to fame was when he published and promoted a stolen video of a helicopter in a justified shooting in Iraq and he did it in a manipulated form to mislead the public into unfairly blaming the US.
They are heroes.
Was it cowardice or pragmatism or honest belief? I hesitate to call Trump a coward, as he put up with more hatred and scheming than most Presidents short of Nixon, Kennedy, Lincoln, McKinley, Garfield.
Trump must have been shocked to discover just how large and deep the Deep State swamp is.
If Trump gets in again, he needs to swing for the fences and have no fear of anyone. The Left doesn’t compromise and we should not either. Use the power. Use all of it. Be bolder than the Left. Make the world new.
Easy to say when your children and grandchildren lives are not on the line.
The problem is “our” party does not support us. If Trump gets in again the GOP will resist him as it did before. The GOP will be led by the same kind of deceitful cowards who have no regard whatsoever for the will of its voters.
You do what's right because it's the right thing to do.
Trump's pardons were horrible. No Assange, Snowden. No Ross Ulbrecht (but a whole bunch of black drug dealers got pardoned). None of the January 6th trespassers.
But he hooked up Kwame Kilpatrick, Rod Blagojevich, and a slew of Wall Street crooks and swindlers.
What’s with Greenwald throwing around the word ‘cowardly’
Trump is anything but cowardly!
I don’t appreciate this from Greenwald even though I have generally liked his writings
Agree. Loved Marjorie Taylor Greene standing up to Trump for Assange and Snowden in 2020, and her comments on Assange yesterday.
