1. This is the kind of sick and twisted shit that even the GOP would not have tried before the era of trump the traitor.

[brooklynite]

2. Requires 2/3 vote of the House and Senate so.....meaningless.

[jimfields33]

5. Does it really? President Biden received it from presidents Obama

I can’t imagine the republicans voted for it in those numbers.

[leftieNanner]

6. Obama gave Biden the Presidential Medal of Freedom

They're floating the Congressional Medal of Honor for The Orange One.

[brooklynite]

8. No they're not

The CMH is a MILITARY honor. The proposal is to give him the Congressional Gold Medal

[leftieNanner]

11. Oops. Thanks for the correction. Nt

[onecaliberal]

3. Why not, no price to pay for being a sub human pile of shit.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. "The beatings will continue until morale improves"

Make a mockery of everything we stand for.

7. My Physical Therapist for my frozen shoulders

Had that sign on his wall. And he meant it. Ouch! But he got me better.

9. He must have gone to the same school as my PT's.

They dreamed up ways to torture me.

But now I can walk 4 to 6 miles a day with no problem.

10. The medal

Requires 2/3rds of both the House and the Senate to sponsor the bill before it can even be considered by the respective committees in the House and Senate.

Its very literally impossible.

The sycophants in Congress going out of their way to pander to their cult leader's ego. These are seriously strange times.

[Buns_of_Fire]

12. ...hence to be known as the "Golden Staff" award

in honor of their precious prince of perversion's peanutty pee-pee.

[sdfernando]

16. Well then you couldn't call it a staff

maybe they can call it a twig???

[Rstrstx]

17. More like golden staph

[wnylib]

13. Huh? How can this be? There is no Congressional medal for Worst American in History.

[Ping Tung]

14. Who get's the silver medal? Marjorie Taylor Green? Bronze to Matt Gaetz?

[bluesbassman]

15. Just one more part of the fabric of our society and institutions they want to debase delegitimize.

They really have no desire to govern and work for the benefit of their constituents. Chaos is their goal.

18. Oh, you were serious? Let me laugh harder. (n/t)
