The dipstick accepted the made-up Champion of Freedom Award. When giving it to him, the Republicans knew damn well he was too ignorant not to know it was fake and too lazy to find out if it was.

Someone has to be the first to receive an award. So let’s see who they give it to next year, if anyone. Of course, it could be Trump again.

This is where we’re at. The guy who led a mob to the Capitol to murder his own vice president, the Speaker, and others in order to overturn the results of an election and end democracy in the US is given this phony “Champion of Freedom” award. What does he have to do to win it again, actually carry through and kill some Democrats?

[These fellow traitors.](https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/547661-gop-senate-campaign-arm-gives-trump-new-award-as-he-rails-against-mcconnell)

> The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) presented a new award to former [President Trump](https://thehill.com/people/donald-trump) over the weekend as GOP officials and fundraisers descended on Palm Beach, Fla., for a donor retreat.
> 
> The NRSC’s inaugural Champion for Freedom Award was given to Trump by Sen. [Rick Scott](https://thehill.com/person/rick-scott) (R-Fla.), who chairs the GOP’s Senate campaign committee. In a statement, the NRSC described the honor as intended for “conservative leaders who have worked tirelessly to create good jobs, protect the values that make our country great, and stop the Democrats’ socialist agenda.”

“led” - well, remember, President Bone Spurs. That’s a long walk without a golf cart. And it was cold. Life is best experienced from a tv screen in a cozy office.

And his Purple Heart, that he always wanted.

(Not enough to risk his skin actually in the military, of course.)

Individual 1’s lawyers said that New York could not give his tax information to Congress while he was President. They’re now saying New York cant give his tax information to Congress because he’s no longer President.

If there was any justice in the world, Trump and at least another few dozen of his cronies would face a long list of criminal charges. Here’s another one that just turned up today:

> **[Trump EPA appointee blocked public release of cancer danger, inspector...](https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/16/politics/epa-cancer-ethylene-oxide/index.html)**
>
> Trump administration political appointees at the Environmental Protection Agency repeatedly squashed efforts to warn the public about a cancer-causing gas in their neighborhood, according to a new review.

It’s like covid-19. If you supress the truth, and people don’t know about it, there’s no problem. Republican problem solving.
