Charlie was a great leader, whose followers were willing to do anything and I do mean anything to please him. The man had a 100% approval rating among his supporters at the time he was railroaded into prison and its about time that kind of leadership was recognized, said Trump upon making the announcement.
Its just a shame that the MoF has to be awarded posthumously due to the nations failure to acknowledge Charlies brilliance during his lifetime.
Rumour has it that future posthumous Medal of Freedom recipients will include Jeffrey Epstein, Benedict Arnold, and the Boston Strangler.

It's pointless unless it is done with maximum live coverage.

I like to think it was done to provide an object lesson in how little the members understood or cared about what came out of their revolving door of legislation....but I don't know how it got to the floor.

(22,599 posts)So proud that if the Texas congress can't do anything moral, at least I thought they'd cornered the market on Moron. At least they were a good joke in my mind...now that may be gone...SOB!❤

(14,734 posts)can ask some folks. I do appreciate your answering me but Texas bashing for the millions of us trying to make a difference does not help us go forward, even on DU.

(15,813 posts)Been thinking about Manson -- and Nixon -- ever since the news broke about Trump/Barr interfering with the Stone sentencing. Seem to remember that the court had fits when Nixon pronounced Manson guilty while the trial was going on.
Truth is, I'd prefer not thinking about any of them, but a measure of awareness is a necessary component of sentience.

(2,751 posts)Charlie, as an orator ordered his minions to do despicable things! He was also to chicken shit to do those things himself. He was also a thief, sadist, racist and a general piece of shit.
Wait a minute! That describes Trump to a big motherfucking T.. rump, doesn't it?
