Not looking for trolls.. but.. did anyone else think that Trump was going to pardon Snowden?

I was kind of hoping that when Trump got elected that Edward Snowden was finally going to be able to come home. But I saw some where that Trump sees him as a traitor. How do you feel about this subject?

Trump will probably get his intelligence briefings from Snowden..馃榿

Better than d CIA
Dainbramadge56-60, M
I know right?? LOL You know he was all happy when he thought that Russia had hacked Killery... but then not think what Snowden did a good thing. IDK
jackjjackson61-69, M
At least Snowden provides facts not agenda driven opinion.
Goralski51-55, M
Trump always said he wasn't gonna pardon him. ...he should get an medal and pardon actually
Dainbramadge56-60, M
I agree. I feel bad for the guy. Hell he is still living in Russia as far as I know.

trump loves any one that is on his side but if you cross him he will turn on you like a rabid dog its jut that simple
so Snowmen is ok an will be pardoned but as soon as he digs up dirt on trump he is done. Trump cant even take Saturday night live skits. he is to thin skinned

So funny that you are using a slam against people
When you are the definition of the word
Hahah have a good life I truly hope you do well in life
Dainbramadge56-60, M
@misstinabondage3: LOL That is funny. Just the way life works some times.
I thought it meant that it was a person who is an individual like a snowflake is and fragile. Still could be me I guess.
Now actually you should expect more from him than what he says because he has made it very prominent that he would be doing more for this country than any one else before him.
I think he can do that to the 9's. He holds himself to a high standard and we should also.

馃槦To tell you the truth, as good as it is to have him instead of Hilary for your president, I find it very hard to trust him or any other well named so-called leader in politics! Judging from historical facts, nothing has or will ever change! It's the same old shit over and over only on different realms of culture and time! They played and are playing the masses like pawns and will do so until the world wakes up to all the bullshit! When I see a man hanging out with the very same questionable celebrities as Hilary and Obama(Kenye West, Bill Gates, etc), I find it hard to believe he will do much of anything to change anything for the betterment of mankind in general! It is all just another act in their play of make believe! The world has been played again...like a game of chess! My opinion anyhoot! Good question!

馃嵒馃榿馃憣馃徎Here's another example...@Dainbramadge: [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjZufT7RPDA] It's all the same game with these people! Fear mongers who mix the truth with their own crap and put it out there like it's ultimately the full truth...but it's not the full truth! I question people like Alex Jones for the purpose that I have literally watched him cut someone off his phone calls only because HE didn't want to take the time to listen to someone who may have had legitimate information! He cut off many who disagreed with some of his theories or may have better knowledge of a certain topic than what he knew! Is THAT what one would call freedom of opinion or speech? I question these things personally! And you are right, we can HOPE something good will come out of this! Trump is the lesser devil in this game ....until he proves otherwise! Again, only my opinion! Thanks for not being a douche about it! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!

I definately think that Edward Snowden did the right thing and think it would be great if he was pardoned. He was very responsible in the way and the timing and the means through which he disclosed information. He didn't endanger patriots serving their country, he did open the conversation as to the ethics of what the us government is doing.

I didn't really expect Trump to pardon him.
SimplyTracie26-30, F
@MarsSword: Ohhh, you mean you don't expect him to
Dainbramadge56-60, M
@SimplyTracie: No Trump hates Ed Snowden. He called him a traitor. So Ed can't come home.
Challenger1M
@SimplyTracie: Yes
Invisible26-30, M
I think there might be some hope in January, but it's hard to say. I saw Snowden's most recent interview, and he makes a fair case for himself: it's been years since his leak, and there is no evidence that any negative effects came about as a result of his actions. I would like to see him pardoned. We need more laws protecting whistle blowers.
Dainbramadge56-60, M
@SimplyTracie: Oh Yeah. It's just the nature of the beast. I just wanted Snowden to come back home. I guess I feel sorry for him. He was acting with in the boundaries of his conscience .

@Dainbramadge: nothing the matter with a nice firm c cup 馃榾

@Jackjjacksonjr: You said it brother LOL
Xuan1231-35, M
It's a very complicated subject. What Snowden did was illegal, for sure. On the other hand, according to many people's values it may have been the ethical thing to do. But then, even if it's considered ethical doesn't mean it couldn't have negative effects on the nation. Nations often do unethical things for their own benefit. Most people accept this and just draw the line at a certain point. Where's that point though? I don't know, it's complicated. The best moral thing for Snowden to do may have been to have plead no-contest in a court of law and ask for leniency. The best practical thing for him...maybe not that.
Dainbramadge56-60, M
Yeah you said it all when you said it was complicated. You know I don't even know any specifics of it. I just know he told the world that the NSA was spying on US citizens. He did say, in an online interview , that he wouldn't have done it if he didn't think he was right. He knew it was illegal. I don't know.
Burnley12341-45, M
I am not surprised Trump did this. He is authoritarian lite and taking advice from the American MIC. Of course he is not going to pardon Snowden.

IMO Snowden is a hero. I am not American but Britain has GCHQ and his revelations helped reveal that. I am against blanked data trawling and what Snowden did was pardonable because he exposed illegal activity by the Government.
carpediem61-69, M
Not sure if Trump will pardon him, but I would support it if he did. Bergdahl though.... another story. I wonder if Obama will pardon him.
Dainbramadge56-60, M
I never heard of the second one you mentioned.
I saw a blurb from Trump here a few days back and he said no pardon for Snowden.
I do wonder who will be getting pardons from Obummer too. LOL
carpediem61-69, M
@Dainbramadge: Bergdahl was the idiot who went AWOL, then tried to ingratiate himself with the Taliban. His move caused the deaths of soldiers who went looking for him. Obama then traded his release for the release of 4 terrorists.
Dainbramadge56-60, M
@carpediem: Oh I know who he is. Thank you. Yeah I couldn't believe that crap. What a big twisted mess.
Heartlander80-89, M
It's too soon. I think a public disclosure of what's been going on in Washington behind closed doors needs to come first. Doing anything "non-partisan" is probably a pipe dream, but I think it has to come first.
Shade7051-55, M
Didn't figure Trump would. Don't suppose Obama will do it on his way out the door either. Which is too bad because Snowden is a national hero as far as I'm concerned.
Dainbramadge56-60, M
Yeah thats how I feel too. Maybe Obummer will do it on his way out. I hope so.
SimplyTracie26-30, F
I don't know much about this Snowden thing so I shouldn't comment. Didn't the public already know about this stuff the government was doing?
sighmeupforthat46-50, M
and trolls aren't looking for you.
Dainbramadge56-60, M
Cool. I see how that works now LOL
