It was kind of uncomfortable as the medal is hung from the neck...

Should've been hanged from the neck (not intended to invite any violence)

I may or not have implied a bit of that, yes.

I like both interpretations of posthumously in this sentence, but I like the other one better.

the White House awarded a white nationalist Christian fascist. doesn't matter what it really means; the fact it was done at any level is appalling.

The freedom to be an asshole, specifically.

This is the biggest power grab he can attempt after not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize

We can be angry that a sack of shit was given an award, or we can be glad for the requirements that are needed to be met in order to receive it. I for one, am impatiently looking forward to trump’s posthumous award(s).

I guarantee the military will not support him in the event of an uprising. What a tonedeaf way to lead people you'll need support from.

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I guarantee much of the military will.

I'm would imagine that having all the generals and admirals in one place where they can talk directly to each other, and pissing them off with the reason you committed such an egregious breach of opsec isn't the best move he could have made. I'm pretty sure that our military leaders just got all the opportunity they needed to completely undermine the administration at every turn.

The military that incaded the wrong country for 20 years?

Trump tends to be nice to people who act fully subservient to him -- those he has dominated.

And wasn't Kirk on the "we should see the Epstein files" side of the MAGA divide except for that one afternoon when he said he was over it?

Having a problematic person publicly killed and then "honored" like this sure feels on brand for the wannabe mafia shitheads pulling the strings. It's like how they revel in their hypocrisy rather than hiding it because they care much more about rubbing it in their enemies' faces than they do about their own integrity.

The real freedom is the one we got from CK's nonsense

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Medal of WTF!?!?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Lol.

He's still dead.

Can just stuff it in the hole I guess.
