I like to believe there's an alternate-universe America where it's Ed Snowden who is filling stadiums to hear him speak, and Donald Trump who has been exiled to Russia. It feels more like the America I grew up believing in.

- rukittenme 7y agoI'm sorry Schoolhouse Rock did not give you a complete and definitive understanding of human political order...
- DoofusOfDeath 7y agoTo be fair, it did give me great clarity on the topic of conjunctions.
- StreamBright 7y agoYou grew up in a America that exiles people to Russia?
- badrequest 7y agoSnowden did.
- StreamBright 7y agoThe US did not exile Snowden. https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/exile https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/exile

- StreamBright 7y agoDid they exile him to Russia? This was the opening of this thread.
- abneg 7y agoWrong on so many levels, you don't exile people in a democratic society. Also Russia or any other country for that matter is not a dumping ground for folks you happen to disagree with.
