Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Read it, don't understand how this is relevant to Snowden.
Instead of giving medals of Honor to a bunch of dead people he could actually be doing something serious by pardoning whistleblowers that were targeted by the Obama administration
Pay more attention to the comment threading, your reply is not relevant to what I'm talking about.
That's how this thread started, how exactly would my reply not be relevant to the thread?
Tell me you didn't actually go back and recheck the conversation without telling me.
Because in reply to "pardon Snowden" someone posted an irrelevant link about Trump pardons and that link is what I replied to. If you actually read the conversation you'll see they were drunk and don't know why they posted it either.
So it sounds like the only thing irrelevant in this entire thread was the post comment you replied to. My remarks on Snowden are relevant to the thread because the thread started as a topic about Snowden.
Okay, you're trolling I get it, enjoy your day.
Pep was drunk. that's it. you're trying to defend and give meaning to a mistaken drunk post.
I agree with it, as usually they are performative instead of substantive
