    A medal for getting plowed from behind? I can think of a lot more deserving people with that qualification.

    Assuming we have a non-fascist president after this, they should just retire this award. Whatever meaning it might have had at one time has been rendered a joke at this point (and not just because of Giuliani).

      It lost all meaning the moment Rush received it. Now, it’s just a joke, as you’ve said

      When we get there, can we introduce a Presidential Medal of Treason to nullify the mis-awarded Freedom ones?

      Or officially attach the name of the awarding president to each award, to disambiguate its value.

        Or just revoke the ones done by Taco, since he’s a felon.

    “He survived a car crash, someone give him a medal!” -Trump could be heard as he was sitting on the toilet.

      He’s also into underage girls. Maybe that’s the real reason, for Epstein’s best friend Trump.

    Of course. Giuliani is in the pedo club. There’s no such thing as bad press.

      I think Roodles should lay down on a bed and adjust his zipper or whatever he claims he was doing while he gets the award.

    So the “medal of freedom” is a badge of shame. Got it.

    The name is unbelievably cringe anyway.

      He got rear-ended over the weekend? That’s probably why this is happening, since Taco likely forgot all about him until then.

      Post-Rush, no, it has very little meaning. Also, anything associated with Taco turns to shit.

      If there is some way we can revoke things he did, any honors he doled out inappropriately should just be rolled back later. That’s assuming we still have a country after this dickhead is gone.
