WASHINGTON ― President Joe Biden on Saturday named former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and billionaire political activist and philanthropist George Soros recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, part of a group of 19 people selected for the nation's highest civilian honor.

Others to be presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom by the outgoing president at a White House ceremony Saturday include U2 frontman Bono, actor Michael J. Fox, actor Denzel Washington, chef José Andrés and William Sanford Nye, better known as television's "Bill Nye the Science Guy."

From the sports world, decorated professional soccer player Lionel Messi of Argentina and retired NBA legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson will also receive the medal. "President Biden believes great leaders keep the faith, give everyone a fair shot, and put decency above all else," the White House said in a statement. "These 19 Americans are great leaders who have made America a better place."

Four recipients are being recognized posthumously: former Defense Secretary Ash Carter, civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer; Robert F. Kennedy, the former U.S. Attorney General and U.S. senator from New York, who was assassinated while running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1968; and George Romney, a former Republican Michigan governor and chairman of American Motors Corporation.

1. Hillary Clinton and George Soros.

Might we be seeing multiple coronaries on the GOP side?

2. With that list

I expect many head explosions and lots of clean-up needed to get rid of what is left of their entrails.

15. Heads exploding

Coronaries, yes indeed, but I am looking forward to seeing/hearing MTG, Lauren Boebert, and several other MAGA cultists as their heads explode.

4. Really good choices

Glad that so many people dedicated to improving living for so many others will be honored for their efforts.

5. Was glad to see chef José Andrés on that list.

"Bill Nye the Science Guy." was a personal favorite of mine as well. And can I just say, "It's about time Hillary was recognized for her accomplishments." In fact, there wasn't a person on the list that did not belong there.

7. George Romney?

He gets points off for fathering you know who.

8. George Romney volunteered 12 years of his tax returns during Presidential...

Campaign, at a time when releasing returns was not customary. Mitt was much less...., well, Mitt was much less.

9. The posthumous award to Fannie Lou Hamer is very gratifying.

She was an immensely brave and tireless civil rights leader.

11. Ok now issue a blanket pardon to anyone Djt has targeted for his revenge tour. Some of his targets will not have the $$$

$$$$$$ to defend themselves as needed.

That would really make my day.

Oh, one more thing: pre-pardon anyone who refuses to raise the flag to full staff from half staff.

12. Fux Noise is really shitting themselves over this

[gopiscrap]

13. what were they saying?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

14. Bad mouthing everyone like Hillary and George Soros

I thought about linking to it but who needs their usual negativity.

16. If I was Michael J. Fox....

I would refuse as it would put him in the same class as Rush Limbaugh.
