Actually there is a bridge in Montana named after himđ. No not really. Itâs on the Missouri River, an old draw bridge with huge counter weights to lift the center section up for riverboat travel..

Why even "float" a pardon for Snowden? He's asking for a public interest defense. Americans would benefit from his testimony. Lol

If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (*one full extra week* per month+) to make up the difference.
This is inflation

Snowden is very bright, but he's also extremely naive. I'm reminded of a quote from this 2007 article by Karen Kwiatkowski. https://www.lewrockwell.com/2007/09/karen-kwiatkowski/living-in-an-imperial-world/"It is pointless â and counterproductive â to simply throw yourself under the wheels of such a monstrous machine in futile spasms of rage and despair. The machine doesnât care. It will gladly chew up your life and move on."

Anarcho-capitalists like Pink Floyd. I'd like to see Snowden get his day in court. If he turns himself in, I'll buy stock in flip phones.

Snowden?
Much better case for pardoning Flynn.
Why doesn't he pardon Flynn? Because Flynn has had the charges dropped. He's just waiting for the court to catch up. Better to have the charges dropped than a pardon. And the REASON having the charges dropped is that THEN Flynn has the legal right to go after the U.S. Govt. for malicious prosecution, etc in Civil court. The U.S.Govt owes him $$$$ big time for this witch hunt and if he is pardoned he loses that right.

If Obama was against a pardon, it must be the right thing to do.

Information is power and Obama wanted all of it. It took balls to do what Snowden did. He gave up everything to blow the whistle. He didn't do it for personal gain he did it for America. He deserves, at a minimum, a fair trial where he can claim a public interest defense. I'm convinced Obama and his fellow Marxists were and still are doing everything they can to get dirt on everyone anyway they can so they can blackmail and control people. What Snowden did was maybe just throw a weak old chicken bone into the cogs of that huge machine. It didn't really slow it down much but the world heard the bone snap. Bb

Maybe he could give some âvaluable information on the swampâ in exchange for the pardon.
Need to be on the look out for Arkanside though. Who would he give this "valuable information" to? 1)The media, they don't want anything to do with it, it is information negative to Obama and Biden. 2)The DOJ, they already have it and are working overtime to cover up any and all evidence of IC corruption. 3) The FBI, see #2.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
