Russia Grants Snowden Temporary Asylum

The fun doesn't really start until some banana republic grants him permanent asylum.

EDIT TO ADD: What happened to his girlfriend in Hawaii?

 

He cut off communication with her right after this all started. She's an ex-girlfriend now.

Edit: Some reports from today say he misses her.

 

In your own little sock-puppet pea brain.

While we're at it, if the "opposition candidate" (either one) had been sitting in the big chair, I am ABSOLUTELY SUUUUUUURRE their response would be both dramatically different and stunningly effective. Yeah, you betcha. : :

Carry on.

 

Passive aggression doesn't become you, Star Man.
You playing hall monitor on a thread like this is funny stuff.
What with you detonating papier mache grenades around here on a regular basis.

 

LOL. As you know like all your ilk, in fact this has almost nothing to do with the O-man -- the reaction from the WH would be substantially identical no matter which candidate of either party occupied the chair.

Carry on.

 

That's sure to piss off the LGBT community.

 

Odds this thread lasts through the weekend?

 

No it wouldn't. If the elephants were in charge, we'd have 150,000 troops amassed at the Estonian border to teach those Nikolai Volkoff-loving Commies that our colors don't run, and God help anyone in our country who complains.

 

I'm amazed that it made it this long. Either the mods didn't get a good look overnight or they are being very tolerant of the political talk.

 

Bari's posted on here twice about it.

 

Glad to see the usual suspects are doing their best to get a legitimate news thread locked.

And to answer Yankee's question about the type of visa Snowden's been granted, according to CBS it doesn't allow him to travel outside Russia.
