Mind Begs the Question: - When Governed by Politicians - Who justify Starvation,Death Camps,Gassing/White Phosphorus,Ethnic Cleansing,etc - Governed by Righteous or Satanic?
Join the "Club" of liars and Thieves. Not only can you never be arrested, but you give each other raises, healthcare, retirement and all the awards anyone could want.

Cryptkeeper in Chief gives Skeletor a medal for insider trading profits.
Which gos to show that presidential medals mean nothing obviously.
The real medal was the millions she made from insider trading along the way....
😡 Quit giving your friends gifts!! 😡 None of them deserve anything 🤮😡
The best part was hearing the thousands of Americans right outside chanting "F--- Joe Biden! F--- Joe Biden!!"
Should just rename this the Medal of Friendship.
Bloomberg gets a medal? Says it all
🤮
As meaningful as The Oscars and the Nobel Peace Prize. Yawn… I’d be insulted to receive that medal, knowing these creatures from the swamp got the same.
Got be kidding only two evil people would have done this 😢
How is this any different from a King knighting his supporter or giving them titles?

Those knights earned their accolades by performing acts of heroism. These people are cowards.

@stkyfngrszmooth hmm, not so much. For example Elton John is a Knight. The type of Knight you're alluding to are chivalric/Nobel Knights and unfortunately they no longer exist. Almost all of those knighted today are performers/artists, politicians, businesses men or aristocrats.

@fightforaglobalfirstamendm5617 That's because we don't live in a constant state of war with other countries and technically the Medal of Honor is the modern US equivalent of knighing for our brave service men and women who went beyond their line of duty in order to protect and serve.
There are no words........

When money is freedom, and they have more of it than most people. Makes sense.
These awards haven't had currency for a long time.
And his close allies including Xi Jinping
Well, you actually have to be president to give that out. So no one actually got one.
ah, these are just trolls. What difference have you made to our society?

The difference? We didn't lie, steal, fund wars, or destroy the economy and future of our children. Then pat each other on the back and give out awards. We actually work, create businesses, take care of our families and help each other.

Are you implying that Pelosi has bettered society? She has made a fortune from insider trading whilst in power. She is only concerned with lining her own pockets.
