Instead of pardoning himself (which I assume he did since the media would never lie about what the president or anyone else is going to do) he should have pardon Edward Snowden, in my opinion.

Ok I agree with you on Snowden. What a shame he didn't. He could've salvaged some small amount of dignity there. And by doing that he could've shoved it in the establishment's face. But IMO Trump was never anti-establishment. He was in it for himself the whole time. His anti establishment narrative went as far as it benefitted him.

Pleasantly surprised by Biden so far. He is the good kind of boring. I never usually think about what the POTUS is doing anymore.

We don’t need to worry about Biden but the people behind him are very dangerous

I mean you could probably say that about all presidents. But specifically which people are you referring to and what makes them dangerous relative to a "normal" president?

American politics is like a reality horror show. Now you've got a congressman under investigation for child trafficking. Guess who's on his side? Supposed pedophile hunters Qanon. Everything is projection. Accuse others that of which you are guilty.

It pains me to vote for any of these clowns. I've never been more cynical about the state of our country. While they are busy bankrupting our country and making promises they have no intention of keeping, life keeps getting more expensive for regular people. I couldn't imagine raising kids today, I have no idea how they would ever afford a decent standard of living.

Wouldn't comment usually on world events unless it's serious.
Talk about a waste 20 year war in Afghanistan and look what happened in the end right back to where it was wow.

I more or less feel the same in a certain way. I feel like I don't really have a party anymore. I'm a centrist. I lean right fiscally, but lean left socially and on the environment. The CPC has a faction in their coalition I can no longer support, but I can't bring myself to vote Liberal or NDP either. I'll probably end up spoiling my ballot.

That's sad Bones as your our next generation if your a younger person to feel this way doesn't bode well for the future as well as the present.
I don't think John is impressed with our political climate as well as his silence speaks volumes.
