13. Snowden helped Putin immeasurably and sullied America

Dec 2016

Dumbasses of the world united in agreement on the horrors of the U.S. government's spying operations. Meanwhile, Putin was developing far worse cyber warfare technologies. Snowden accepting "asylum" made Putin look like the good guy.

Snowden is a coward and a misguided, technically untalented asshole. He needs to man up, disown Putin, and come back to the United States to take his medicine. He's as responsible for the Trump presidency as anyone.
