The Heir heard on audio this morning that Trump says he considering pardoning Ed Snowden.  If he ends up doing so, that should be the moment that the progressives should dump Ed Snowden once and for all.  There's no reason why the progressives should pretend that Ed Snowden somehow never existed or is just a mere footnote in history.  In the Heir's eyes at least, Snowden would then be an equivalent to Roger Stone or Paul Manofort.  Ed Snowden would then be an official Trump associate.  The Heir believes such a pardon is inevitable, and is already planning on making Ed Snowden's life as miserable as possible, by pushing for a civil suit on behalf on those Intel families who've lost a member in the field because of Ed Snowden stealing operation information that by now the Heir is sure has been sold to bidders in China and Russia and North Korea, and possibly anti-American countries in South America.  He's also pushing for state charges on behalf of those states Ed Snowden's actions had an impact in, and that's pretty much all of them, even Idaho.  And then there needs to be anti-Snowden demonstrators at those venues Ed Snowden would be doing lectures in.

The Russians absolutely *do not* have a vaccine against the coronavirus.  This is the Bachelor position, not just the Heir's.  The reason we at the Bachelor have determined that is because Putin made two separate announcements.  The media is aware of only the second one where Putin claimed to have inoculated his daughter.  The first one was where he proclaimed this supposed vaccine a Sputnik, suggesting that Russia somehow beat America to the punch.  The media even gave into that one credulously, claiming there's a "vaccine race" of some sort.  Until they prove that one scientifically with a full peer review replication, there is no such race.  The Heir doesn't believe that even India has a vaccine.  Let's face it: America will be the first to have a real vaccine, because then it will have been fully approved.  The great Russian placebo will then be put out, and Russia will eventually overtake America for the highest infection rate.  If America has 5 million now, Russia will have 6 million.  And since germ experts don't believe that having and surviving the coronavirus once in any inoculates you the second time around, China will also reach 6 million in a reinfection.  We in America will have put this 5 million boondoggle in the past, and China and Russia will be a permanent collective coronavirus hotspot for the rest of their respective histories.  Maybe the protesters in East Russia will welcome interference in their elections so that Putin will lose, and be forced into hiding.
