I agree this is a slap in the face to other, actually deserving, recipients of this medal. Some are rightfully shocked and disgusted by this, but nobody should be surprised, as this is par for the course for this criminal POTUS. Rush supported our criminal president, so this is his reward. Get ready, Hannity will get it next. After all the lies, deceipt, cronyism, misogyny (incl. porn stars, beauty pageants), overt racism/white nationalism, close association with convicted felons, bankruptcies, cozying with dictators, etc., does anybody not realize Trump will abuse his power as POTUS to reward his cronies, the United States of America be damned? This is my problem with this impeachment charade. It ended exactly as it was supposed to, as everybody knew if he were impeached in the house, the senate would acquit. All hands need to be on deck to get the best Democrat nominated to get this ----- out of the white house, not political stunts (impeachment) that did not weaken Trump and may even backfire and help get him reelected. Complete focus on the (D) primary and when that's done, complete laser focus on November. But what do the Democrats do? Look like complete, incompetent jackasses in Iowa. Good grief!

Why should anybody sympathize with this ------, because he is going to die from cancer? This ------- knowingly profited for decades by providing a steady diet of racism, misogyny, and general, fear-based, right-wing propaganda to millions of simpleton "dittohead" white people afraid "their" country was being taken over by darker skinned people and the nonexistent "elites". He and others like him exploited these afraid white people, cunningly getting them to foment hate and literally act against their own interests. Of course he knew what he was saying were calculated lies, which makes him nothing but an unAmerican ------- propagandist, who caused great damage to this country. Now his rotting lungs simply match his body of work, no sympathy deserved. Looking forward to the obit...

#7 Galaxi, yes, you're description of Bolton is basically accurate. But just think at how mind-boggingly despicable Trump must be for a neocon crank like Bolton, who unlike me or you saw the real Trump from within the inner circle, to do what he's doing! IMO, Trump didn't fire Bolton, he wisely jumped ship when he was being sucked into glaringly corrupt and illegal activities (If Trump were bound, like the rest of us, to US criminal code, and not just The Constitution, his fat ass would likely be in jail right now--conspiracy to commit election fraud). As twisted and misguided as they were, neocons/hawks (like Bolton) thought their ideologies were correct path for the country--aggressive military and economic power over foreign adversaries. Enter Trump, a card carrying narcissist/sociopath/psychopath who is truly incapable of placing anything, including the interests of the United States, ahead of his own personal interests. He even looks at his own daughter as a sex object. God help us if Trump gets reelected! Anyone left in his administration who refuses the role of sycophant will leave (as in Kelly, as in Mattis, as in Bolton) or get forced out, to be replaced with Giuliani types. All kidding aside, Trump will only get WORSE, I would not be surprised if he makes a run at dictator, with the MAGA dittoheads cheer-leading the whole time!

Yeah Gonole I see your point.

Peyton's 2 rings + Eli's 2 rings + Big Ben's 2 rings = Brady's SIX rings

Haters will be haters!

This why I can never get on board with a QB who is also a RB. Look at Russel Wilson. Used to work, but now he's getting old, so when he transitions from QB Mode to RB Mode, which he does ad nauseum, he can't elude defensive players much younger/faster than him--so he gets sacked and sacked and sacked. Yeah he made some exciting running plays to add to an illusion that the QB/RB model is not a failed concept. I'm guessing RGIII may even agree! Stay in the pocket Russel.

If only we had more gun control, this stabbing may have never happened!

So they made the ok sign... boo hoo.. get a life

As usual the NYY, unlike most other MLB teams, don't need to rely on a robust minor league farm system etc, as they just try to buy a world series trophy by dropping bags of cash on the stars built up from scratch on other teams. Been dealing with this "kidnapping" ad nauseum as a lifetime Red Sox fan (think Jacoby Ellsbury). Hilariously, even with their mountains of cash and despite trying like hell, they haven't been able to successfully buy a trophy for quite a few years. This all makes MLB soooo exciting -- exactly why many, me included, tend to prefer NCAA...
