Powell didn't seem to care for anyone - thought the Cheney's were idiots (although the quote is in reference to their efforts to market a book they wrote), he clearly didn't like Trump, and he thought Hillary was a overly secretive conniver. I wonder if Powell liked anyone in politics.

I'm guessing not. Most career military men don't think much of career politicians.

Ah...
The Right Wing love affair with Powell ended with an implosion long ago
But I remember the days when he was the darling

:rofl:

He's like Snowden for the Left
Remember when Snowden was a hero or a traitor
Now he's a Hero or a traitor again only shifted 180 degrees

So will Obummer include Snowden in his growing list of "midnight pardons"? Will he be the Marc Rich of the Obama administration? :?

Wedgebuster...you are just like the MSM leaving out the critical quotes addressed to the moonbats

Here's a good one
Bill Clinton is Still ‘Dicking Bimbos’ Colin Powell


And another

“Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris.” – Colin Powell.

Via Daily Mail:
A wealthy private equity investor told former Secretary of State Colin Powell that Hillary Clinton ‘HATES’ President Obama in newly leaked emails between the two men that were leaked by D.C. Leaks and obtained by The Intercept.

Jeffrey Leeds wrote to Powell in one email which was posted on Twitter by Lee Fang that all Clinton wants is to win the upcoming election, and that she might not win in the end.

He then went on to say: ‘It’s the one prize she wants. She has everything else. And she HATES the President (‘that man’ as the Clintons call him) kicked her a** in 2008. She can’t believe it or accept it.’
In another March 2015 email exchange between the two the men talk about Clinton’s health, with Leeds stating that Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse informed him that ‘she could barely climb the podium steps’ when the two gave a speech at the same event a few months prior.

DailyMail.com has reached out to both Leeds and Whitehouse for comment.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. Al Swearengen

It would be the right thing to do. :nod:

And Chizzy's girlfriend announced this week that she's not only pardon Snowden, she'd also pardon Chelsea Manning and give them both positions in her administration.

It never ended with me. I still like the guy. He brought a military management style to the State Department which it SORELY needed. He's still a hero here to liberals and conservatives (all 6 of us) alike.

His opinions of people like the Clintons and the Cheneys comes as no surprise to me- I'd have guessed it without his hacked emails

No, it wouldn't.

He did us a service with the NSC metadata reveal and I'd be willing to have that used as a mitigating circumstance to knock a year or two off the life sentence he deserves for spamming megabytes worth of unrelated classified material

How do you know that?

What's your source?

It couldn't possibly be the very same government he exposed. Oh wait, we can't tell you because it's classified. But trust us! :rofl:

You are either stupid or just intentionally ignoring what I have said for the sake of your meaningless argument.

Snowden, if not legally, is still a whistleblower when it comes to the domestic spying program. That should be a mitigating circumstance if he is ever brought to justice. But 99.9% of the docs he pilfered had nothing to do with domestic surveillance. So his sentence should have 0.01% knocked off of it.

Oh, for starters, Congressional testimony by General Dempsey (former chair of the Joint Chiefs) to the effect that the vast majority of the documents Snowden released had nothing to do with personal metadata and everything to do with highly sensitive military and intelligence-related information.

But go ahead and stick with George Soros, Danny Glover, and Susan Sarandon! Your boy should be canonized! :rofl:
