Avenatti started the ball rolling ----

[New Haven]

Like it or not , this all began with Michael Avenatti. In March 2018, Michael Avenatti filed a lawsuit on behalf of adult film actress implicating Cohen and Trump. This was like the first stage of the Watergate break-in. Avenatti was a frequent guest on talk shows and cable news programs to discuss the cases, logging 108 appearances on CNN and MSNBC between March 7 and May 10 in 2018.

So when we are giving credit to AOC ---or Letitia James we should not leave out Stormy Daniels who the had the courage to defy Trump.

If Trump can give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh I think Biden can make the same award to Stormy Daniels.

2. Stormy is my hero here

she was threatened by some of Trump's henchmen. It took a tremendous amount of courage for her to do that. Thank you for your response.

3. Well,... instead of the coveted Metal of Freedom,...

... can't President Biden just give Stormy Daniels a floor to ceiling 24 carat made of solid gold stripper's risqué dancing pole ?

That would better preserve the integrity attached to the Metal of Freedom and not tarnish it to the extent DJT did by giving it to a Nazi such as Limbaugh.

The Executive Office of the United States Presidency and The Metal of Freedom should not be diminish on whims of fancy or weaponized to make a point of insult to political adversaries.

Protocols of Respect and Decorum insist that symbols of American Democracy not be dragged through the mud and the cespools of raw sewage as Donald John Trump frequently and purposely did. All while rejoicing at the mockery he made of the institutions of our government.

Nothing against the posters or commenter here at DU. But an expression of how totally reprehensible the man, DJT really is. A man of zero redeeming political, social, or intellectual value.

5. thank you for your reply

I was only kidding about the Medal----but taking a closer look we can see there is no reason for Limbaugh to receive this---but in the long run maybe Stormy is a candidate

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is an award bestowed by the president of the United States to recognize people who have made "an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors."

4. she deserves a mushroom trophy

made of pure toilet gold!

6. Howz aboutz,...

We give Stormy a gift boxed pair of tweezers in recognition of her service - pleasuring the junk of DJT. With a special Metal for Hazardous Duty, for the STDs she was likely forced to contend with during her somewhat dangerous but certainly repulsive job assignments.



Only trying to preserve the integrity of the illustrious Presidential Metal of Freedom. Reserving it for the more deserving who had more noble pursuits in mind as they selflessly contributed to the good of society.

Don't mean to be a stickler here.....
