This has got to be the fastest valor award (let alone MOH) turn around in history. Lol
Good shit

I thought the address was pretty good, but serious question...has anyone seen gas prices @ $1.85 per gallon? Lol.

The only placeholder I think would be a DSC I'd think, however, I don't know shit how SMU awards get done. But this MOH got confirmed inside of what, 5-6 weeks? For normies they either get denied or bogged down for years. So this makes me think there was no placeholder.
Unless people give out ARCOMs in SOCOM like toilet paper? You know how many times I almost went to fisticuffs with my CSM over AAMs for Soldiers as an S1?
Maybe the DSC? Could be he's got all three separately. Given the reporting said he was part of the planning group, he's probably been around for quite a lot in his career!
My experience with group was that the process was smoother than how conventional units worked, but it was harder to get anything if it wasn't an ARCOM (+C for GB/direct support guys) or higher.
Hell, I jokingly put in one of my GB buddies for an AAM because the dude had been in for 15 years and didn't have one.
RE: my placeholder comment. I've seen both the SS and DSC given as an initial award while the MOH recommendation works its way through the system. This is obviously a really unique situation and I'm not dunking on Chief Slover.
I don't know how the regs read, but you can find photos of MoH recipients wearing Silver Stars which are later upgraded/revoked with the MoH award.

The underlying optics here are way worse than just immigration.
That’s a basic constitutional concept. It’s literally one of the only 3 things the government is supposed to do- secure the border, protect the people.
The democrats didn’t boycott and stay seated because they don’t like ICE- they did it because fundamentally they don’t understand and support the constitution of the United States. Thats the message he’s sending.
Some of the WW II awards were pretty fast.
Are Supreme Court Justices not allowed to stand?
Yeah that’s always been a thing. The ideal of separate branches.

Can I be "anti-everybody" and pro "whoever is doing the least damage to my individual liberties" at the same time?
For years I was just the crazy conspiracy guy - until I wasn't.
Then I was just gullible.
Now I'm just too brainwashed to know what "truth" looks like.
Boo Trump.
Hooray NotTrump.
Pretending that the shenanigans surrounding Epstein are the first time that the American people (or the global community writ large) ever had to admit or acknowledge that "The Government ©" exists and survives on corruption, cronyism, nepotism, and the dark application of power through threats is funny to me.
What's even funnier is that NOW after decades of people like me saying shit like this only to be challenged to "site my source" always make me smile.
It reminds me of the scene in "The Godfather"
"Do you know how naive you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don't have men killed."
I've said it before - I'll repeat it forever...
...EVERYONE
...on BOTH sides of the aisle
...LONG before Donald Trump had any sway on the outcome
...LONG before Donald Trump had any political power to wield
...LONG before Bondi or Patel has their dirty little fingers in the pie
...has delayed, diverted, slow rolled, prevented, and refused to do ANYTHING
...much less release ANYTHING that could be called a "file"
...yet, it makes sense for intelligent people to blame 30 years of waiting for this to be uncovered, on Donald Trump
...30 years of government failures to hold corrupt PDF files accountable, is because of Trump
...it's ok, I get it
All Trump - All Bad - All Day - Every Day
It's not our fault though - it's what we've been told to think - and we must obey.
He's also responsible for slavery, misogyny, male pattern baldness, PMS, and premature ejaculation.

I am wrestling with this, brother. But, I can't vote for a Democrat.

Forget about the political party and just vote against the candidate that's going to fuck you the hardest - I'm pretty sure your ballot will still look relatively "partisan" because one party historically fucks you harder than the other party...
...they just tell you that they love you first THEN they fuck the shit out of you
...and your individual liberties
...and your kids
...and the minority groups that they claim to support
If it came right down to it - I'd vote for that mouth breathing hoodie, Bermuda shorts, and shower shoes wearing nut job from Pennsylvania before I'd vote for some of these "establishment" virtue signaling republicans
He might be bat shit crazy - but at least he says real shit.
Trump might be full of shit - his ego might be a YUGE source of embarrassment - but he's getting shit done that I want done.
What did the two folks before him do to advance the USA ?
Hell - one of the reasons that Joe Biden did and said such ridiculous shit is because he had Barak Hussein Obamas hand up his ass for four years.
-Obama should have taken some puppeteering classes from Jeff Dunham; Bidens presidency would have made a LOT more sense.
What would that cackling jackass from California have done if she had filled the office?
What about that crazy broad from Arkansas ?
What in the actual fuck was SHE going to do to improve our condition?
Is Donald Trump an ass?
Sure he is.
...and what difference, at this point, does it make?

I feel you - I really do.
BUT - if I got wrapped around the "promises made, promises kept" axel, I'd have ended up in the nut house two or three elections into adulthood. Life is too short to worry about the one that got away.
