President Joe Biden on Wednesday awarded the Medal of Honor for conspicuous gallantry to two Union soldiers who stole a locomotive deep in Confederate territory during the Civil War and drove it north for 87 miles (140 kilometers) as they destroyed railroad tracks and telegraph lines.

Pardon Snowden?

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.

Pardon Snowden?

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.

I'm genuinely confused on what this is supposed to mean

Hmm. Me too. Pretty sure I had a point but I was a bit drunk and couldn't articulate it. I don't think I meant to post it. Oops.

Drunk peppycito was doing some loose word association :D
