A bunch of elites who don't give a hoot about the blue collar worker. That democratic party is
dead.
And they are so stupid and incoherent they can't fathom why the American workers and many women and men across all boundaries voted for Trump.
Perhaps you could respond to the actual topic. You know, the one that is completely incorrect?

Nope.

Breitbart is BS.

Someone started another thread based on an article in Breitbart?
It's the wingers' favorite "news source." Gives them lots of fake stuff to brew up their phony outrage. They need a daily dose of "what to get PO'd over today!" Somebody has to tell them what to think. They can choose between Breitbart, Fox News and Limpbaugh. It's good to have options, even in the right wing echo chamber.

Go check out their homepage.

"McConnell: American People ‘Will Simply Not Tolerate’ Dems Blocking Trump’s Supreme Court Nominee" is the title of an article.

Really? The American people stood by and watched the Republicans block Obama's SCOTUS nomination, why would they not stand by now? Particularly, since the majority of American voters did not vote for Trump.

Breitbart is full of such nonsense.
You're too rational and reasonable.

Ok. Obama has an insanely humongous ego.

Anyone who wants the truth.

They did afterall say that Trump would win the election.

How did your "news source" do on that account?

So, Brietbart was citing an AP article from yesterday, but got it wrong, saying that President Obama awarded it to himself.


Did President Obama Award Himself a Distinguished Public Service Medal? : snopes.com

He shortened it because no one wanted to go, not to save money or be humble or any other attribute that you might falsely ascribe to him.

This is not the resume of a sane man.
Perhaps... perhaps not.
He may be playing a role as a front man and puppet for the covert forces, who paid for his education, his professional career, his stint in Federal government, his igNobel prize, and his fawning media coverage.

In which case, the sheeple are still unaware of the identity of those who really did it all to America.
So he's still a valuable distraction.

I doubt that Obama himself had much to do with the decision. Why should he? This is standard procedure. If you have some information suggesting that Obama specifically had to beg the DOD to give him this award, please provide your evidence. Otherwise, the most logical conclusion is that this is just routine ceremonial stuff. Here is G.W. Bush getting the same award under similar circumstances: Navy.mil - View Image

BTW: This should also give you some insight into the credibility of Breitbart as a source of news. I wish people would boycott these sites - both conservative and liberal sites.
