Jesus . No reward for greatness? Downer. Is it because you are one of the whiners who say every one should get a trophy, or no one should get a trophy? You are, no question.
Or is it because you are uncomfortable that Hillary has committed crimes, but was never charged with any crime, got such an award? Or that Soros bought his way into getting the award?
Tell ...[text shortened]... t Medal of Honor?
Does everyone realize what we have with marauder? He should have his own forum.
I mean lets be serious; George HW Bush gave a Medal of Freedom to Strom Thurmond, an ardent segregationist who did everything he could to deny freedom to US blacks.
Trump gave them to Devin Nunes, Jim Jordan and Russ Limbaugh.
It's absurd to even bother about such an "award" and even more ridiculous to pretend it is earned by "greatness".
@AverageJoe1 saidDump gave the medal to the piece of crap russ limbaugh. Now that was a waste of an honorable medal.
Do you think Hillary is guilty of nothing? Haha. If Trump is a sex predator, what about Bill Clinton? I think that she IS.
I think that he IS.
Hello?
Y’all have really been pitiful.. Can you pick it up in this new year??

@no1marauder saidYou assume, as does Sonhouse, that it is a given that everyone hates certain people across the board. Like Hitler. And, Limbaugh. Cred is lost for you, as Limbaugh one of the greatest of all Americans.

Yes, sole discretion of his radical staff and Jill. I know it, you know it. HE is imbecillic, Jill wants that library (Soros). And we both know that there is a qualification that the country is better because of recipients.
Why, looka’ here. Had I not turned this up, Suzanne would think the award is only made at the whim of the sitting president (laying down, in case of Biden). Can’t wait till 20th!!!!
The Medal may be awarded by the President as provided in this order to any person who has made an especially meritorious contribution to (1) the security or national interests of the United States, or (2) world peace, or (3) cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.
Tell us what the money-changer Soros, who made his billions trapping. the currency market, did ,of these three elements?
Oh, this is what Maruader just said, verbatim:

Sorry I am so giddy, only a few days left. What surprise do you think Biden's people will throw at us inthese couple of weeks.
And if you are all so unhaaaaaaappy that the judge is letting Trump go, it is because the only reason it was a case was to impede his campaign to become our 47th president.....since all that was for naught, they are picking up their ball and going home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would think Shouse would have apprised us of that little non-legal gem.

You are the most pathetic sycophant I have ever encountered. In the 1930s, you would have been an ardent Nazi or Stalinist depending only on what piece of dirt you were born on.

@AverageJoe1 saidYeah, stand aside Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Lincoln, FDR and the rest; a fat blow hard who did nothing but stoke hatred and division is "one of the greatest of Americans".

It just goes to show how subjective and ultimately worthless these trinkets are.
@no1marauder saidMarauder, do us all a favor, shinny down from the high-horse, and say, like I often do, that, “You got me, you win this one. I was wrong about medal qualifications !”. Impossible for libs.

Instead, you say “you”, speaking of me, 3 times. Many of you, you get so angry and go postal.
Nothing about the points I raised.
Let’s get to Jan 20. We have nothing but repubs coming to champagne day. Would ask some dem friends but they get so personal! We discuss policies. We are even bringing presents! At my house!
@AverageJoe1 saidGet it through your empty head; those so-called "qualifications" mean nothing - the President can give those baubles to whoever he pleases.

@no1marauder saidHillary said ‘basket of deplorables “. .? She did not stoke hate or divisiveness??????. Biden did not say “They gonna put you in chains!!!!”??????

Glad I am not a poster of those pesky links, I would be covering you up.
And both of them, and Camella Jackson, resorted to colloquial black accentuation in such speeches. This makes them racist in my books.
Not too late to change sides.

@no1marauder saidLet’s take a breather and ask McHill and Suzianne to find us a link that says that qualifications for receiving the medal mean nothing. It may be superfluous to say ‘absolutely’ nothing, but , taken literally, it means absolutely nothing.

It either is, or it ain’t.
Did you see the wonderful Jane Goodall, with her Medal of Honor? You tell her it is worthless, No1.
Here it is again. Marauder says,,,noooo, this is not correct..,,
The Medal may be awarded by the President as provided in this order to any person who has made an especially meritorious contribution to (1) the security or national interests of the United States, or (2) world peace, or (3) cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.
@AverageJoe1 saidHe can give it to whoever he wants; there is no one who has the authority to review his decisions.

Therefore, any "qualifications" are meaningless.
Are you really sooooooooooo stupid you don't understand this?
@AverageJoe1 saidGet your facts straight for a change; Soros is a US citizen and has been since 1961.https://kansasreflector.com/2023/06/17/george-soros-hands-philanthropy-to-son-after-enduring-years-of-antisemitic-conspiracy-theories/
OK.everyone tell us if you agree with marauder that the medal of freedom is totally decided upon by the president without qualifications. And tell us about Soros who is not an American citizen, number one, and number two he did not even show up. What a damn mess you liberals are.
