Do they believe that 90 million of the adults who can’t stand them are dead? How do they see us by doing stuff like this? Even the blacks and Hispanics with whom I converse about this in public (complete strangers) admit this country is totally messed up. The fact that they don’t change what they’re doing HAS to mean they’re going to cheat in upcoming elections of all kinds. They don’t care what anyone thinks...they’re going to do what they want. No representation.

As far as I know, Denzel Washington, although a Democrat, is a good example of a famous person who knows how to not become a walking political agenda. And he isn’t willfully blind about the press.

”If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you do read it, you’re misinformed,“ actor said at premiere of ”Fences“

He also told the same reporter, “None of your business”, when asked who he voted for that year, 2016.

Also in the same interview, race relations came up and he said basically that a president can’t legislate people to like each. People have to do their communicating with each other. So he doesn’t sound like a full-blown, irrational leftist, and he isn’t a DNC celebrity puppet.

It’s not much, and I’ll amend to only the one person who was the best choice out of the group Biden (or whoever) chose.

Biden has decided, in keeping with his inflationary proclivities, that he will devalue the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

“And Rapipoe who has said repeatedly that she hates America”

And repeatedly took a knee during the Star-Spangled Banner.

Hating America fits right in with the Brandon agenda.

Giffords is a big supporter of chocolate pudding for breakfast. Other than that, she's just a meat puppet for her abusive, leftist "husband".

I’m ok with Washington, Khan, Lindsay, and even Steve Jobs.
Otherwise, it looks like the White House couldn’t get the medals to stay on steaming dog piles and had to settle for less.

Trump gives it to Rush Limbaugh and Biden gives it to McCain. That says it all.

Why were Cassidy Hutchinson and Christine Blasey Ford left off the list?

Medal of Freedom now reduced to Crackerjack box prize status.

That happened a long time ago.

“Except for Denzel Washington ...”

I like Denzel but what’s he done to deserve a Presidential Medal of Freedom?

Wasn't he the first Black president?

Or was that Morgan Freeman?

He appeared in the original "Death Wish" starring Charles Bronson. :)

I sure do wish I could disagree with you. I wish all my heart that I could.

But deep in my heart, it tells me that is the truth.

Go down Trump's list of recipients and tell me what most of them did to deserve it. (Annika Sorenstam? Really?) Then do the same for Obama and Bush and Clinton. The award has become a joke.

RE: is giving his allotment of Medals of Freedom overwhelmingly to living folks who are not white guys and three dead white guys, all of them jerks, McCain, Jobs and Trumpka.

Well, the America-hating lesbian soccer player with the pink hair is white and still alive and kicking.

Really maybe you are right but can’t verify that.

Bronson may be the most under rated actor out there.

Love lot’s of his stuff. Break Heart Pass is his best. But many other movies, Kid Galahad (Elvis), Death Wish (the first one after that production values went down), Dirty Dozen, Hard Times, I could go on.

Denzel is uncredited in the movie. He only appears on screen for a couple of seconds. He is one of the black hoodlums that try to jump Charles Bronson, and which Bronson shoots.

He is extremely young in the scene, but you can tell it's him.

Love lot’s of his stuff. Break Heart Pass is his best.

I too am a big Denzel Washington fan. Loved "Book of Eli." Loved "Training Day". Loved "Fallen". Loved "Deja vu". "The Equalizer", and many more.

And his home life is very respectable too. He seems to be a good man.

I guess you meant Denzel. He should “respectfully “ turn it down. Sort of like Brando did when he sent Sacheen Littlefeather up there, a foolhardy move, to be sure. But boy would it be sweet in this case. Washington is not at all on board with this President.
