Can someone hold my hair?

The White House announcement (Medal of Honor) of Nunes’s garlanding is remarkable for many reasons but specifically for its historical claims and the in-your-face aggressiveness of its language.

Nunes deserves the honor, it reads, for his actions to “thwart a plot to take down a sitting United States president”; for his efforts to “unearth the crime of the century”; for exposing “the full power of the Deep State.” It concludes that he is “a public servant of unmatched talent, unassailable integrity, and unwavering resolve. He uncovered the greatest scandal in American history.”

I believe that's the real reason Nunes and Gym Jordan got these medals.

just to piss us off.

that medal is now meaningless.
