So much for that award. Diluted. Why not just give the medal to everyone that voted for you, you orange buffoon.

Guess they didn’t lick the boots clean enough for a pardon.

This is just to soften up the ground before he awards them to himself and his kids and trophy wife.

I bet the last thing he does in the WH and AF1 is take a shit and not flush the toilet.

It’s a shame there isn’t some sort of recognition for the most vile and sickening citizen besides voting him out.

Would be funny if the medal makers put “Freedumb” on it and no one in the trump* circle notices it until it’s too late.

Now I really know he’s lost his marbles.

Will Nunes bring his cow to the White House for the ceremony?

And will Jordan wear a jacket? So many questions.

That medal used to be the highest honor. Trump probably gives out cheap knockoffs.

What do you mean?.. he has people for that.

  • Mark Meadows wipes
  • Mike Pence flushes
  • Barr (or a similar substitute) works the plunger

The value of the award sort of vanished when Trump gave one out to Arthur B. Laffer. Owning the “elites”, in this case educated economists, is a subset of owning the libs, a very counter-elite move. And why not Devin’s valet Kash Patel? He did a lot of the heavy conspiracy lifting for Devin a couple years ago.

Trump seems to want all of his people have Medals pinned on their chests like Idi Amin.
OT
If Trump Inc were to overthrow our votes and make Trump President, what form of government were they going to install?

What a moooove! (Someone had to say it…)

Definitely there should be protestors out in the street during the medals ceremony. Can anyone get ahold of some parade-sized cow balloons? Cows wrestling comes to mind.

Was this a consolation prize for Nunes? Did he really want/expect/hope for a pardon from President Trump to protect himself from any Russia investigation or his other legal woes? As far as I can remember, most if not all of his defamation law suits against others have been tossed by the courts. The question I have centers on his involvement as a member of the House Committee on Intelligence (his place on such a committee is clearly an example of cosmic humor) investigating Trump’s role in the various Russian issues, his deceit via involvement in the same various issues, whether he reported to the President’s Office what was happening, etc. Just wondering…

Nunes is bound to have left a lot of evidence behind. His constituents sure do deserve to know the truth about him.

He has no legislative achievements of note. No public service of note. Awarding him and the equally underachieved Jim Jordan this Medal craps on the idea behind the Medal and those that have it because they earned it. Mother Terasa, Van Cliburn and Mohammad Ali are not in the same league as Jordan or Nunes. It’s a great big dump on America to do this.
