The Paul Blart  medal of mediocre riot control?  Maybe they can go throw it over the fence in protest like John Kerry…

I'm assuming the Capitol PD has their own version of "MoH"?

EDIT:
OP's headline purposfully misworded to engage in distribution of rage porn.

"Medals struck pursuant to this Act are national medals for the purposes of chapter 51 of title 31, United States Code."

"(b) Design And Striking.—For the purposes of the award referred to in subsection (a), the Secretary of the Treasury (hereafter in this Act referred to as the “Secretary”) shall strike gold medals with suitable emblems, devices, and inscriptions, to be determined by the Secretary (of the Treasury)."

To be clear, this is the Congressional Gold Medal per other articles, not THE MoH (which they wouldn't be eligible for anyway.)

Not that it still not

Insurrection.
Jesus, shows you how much faith they have in the Capitol police and the people, they think a couple dozen unarmed folks can take over the federal government.
I have never been more embarrassed by my country.

It's also a slap in the face to all of the LEO's who faced real violence and malice while protecting the Federal Courthouse and other buildings in Portland and other cities last year.

AP News on the Radio said Medal of Honor, to which I immediately burst out laughing and googled it. Regardless of what type of "Medal of Honor" it is, this is fucking retarded.

But the 100,000 real police officers who had molotov cocktails, bottles, and bricks thrown at them all summer are scum bags because they are racist?

Sure why not. Police chiefs are 6 star generals. Might as well give the rank and file MoHs and silver stars and all kinds of ribbons and flair.

While introducing the legislation, Klobuchar said children of the future will be able to walk by and see the medals in the Smithsonian, and their parents will tell them: "This happened, this attack happened."

Media had no problem when BLM and Antifa assaulted the White House grounds for DAYS. Trump had to be moved to the underground bunker. Media laughed and thought it was funny.

With street police dying all over the country, NFG by the congress, the real message here is "our lives are more important than yours, and always will be."

Actually that's not true, no politicians life was endangered, and I'm sure they're well aware of that fact...this is more theater. Shameful, gutter level tripe from people with no honor or principle.

That bunch is now trying to get you to donate $11.00 so they can build them a "Village" in FL.....Even Marky Mark said "no mas" to that one.

Great....Let's move even more NYers to FL.

If not intentionally and willfully confusing and equating the awards. Almost impossible to define the valor/service divide and award criteria for the Bronze Star to non-mil members here, and most of them have some interest or reading background on it.

If they wait a month or two they won't need that many if the rate of them killing themselves continue
