q: 'In 2007, the group was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal for the part they played in the war and overcoming prejudice.'
Does this mean the American Government, on behalf of itself and the American people, have honored the Tuskegee Airmen for withstanding the virulent prejudice vented upon them by the American government itself, and the American people in general?
Doesn't that seem a little mealy-mouthed to you?
It sounds to me a bit like under-the-table self-congratulation by someone because they no longer beat their dogs.
As a corollary to this, and to fully make amends, wouldn't the American government (and people), having acknowledged the deplorable injustice of their attitude and actions, also have to properly censure themselves for this egregious treatment of black Americans? Can we expect to see that happening anytime soon?
Or could would that be a bridge too far; never allowed to happen because too many important and influential Americans an... less

If y'all are lucky there will be a shooting at a school near you. Eventually. The odds of that are with you. Be patient. It will happen. It is inevitable. It is only a matter of time. SIGH. :(
Even when he regularly compulsively lies to his lawyers? What happens when push comes to shove? Everyone is entitled to a robust defense. EVEN LIARS? EVEN THE GUILTY AS CHARGED?

He is just making things easier for Mueller who tracks/records and will use everything the donjohn tweets against him. He is a perfect subject isn't he? Helping the investigators to bring him down. What a nice thing to do. A smarter person would be quiet. Silent. Not attract attention. Not provide more ammunition that someone could use against him. But the donjohn lives for the moment and lives in the now and doesn't ever consider how what he does/says now can hurt him later. There is never a "later" to him. Only NOW. less
Why the desperate attempts to shut down an investigation that will surely vindicate the innocent and nail the guilty? What d'ya s'pose the doofus don is afraid of? Any guesses?

Paid to manufacture "truth" and get the gullible to believe it and spread it and be affected by it to the extent of electing anyone president! Impossible you say? Sadly not. The collusion occurred among a variety of players. Russia, Cambridge Analytica, donjohn relatives/friends/toadies and the great unwashed out there. It may have numbered in the hundreds o r thousands. All working for one purpose. To elect donjohn prez. Well by gawd they pulled it off didn't they? Hat's off to them and woe is us! This is the future. So each vote counts? Nope. Not if the vote is by a person who makes decisions based entirely on lies. Not if the vote if from a person who is a pawn in a large scheme to install a Manchurian Candidate. Or a Russian Candidate. Or a whomever. The willingness of some to believe outrageously absurd lies should shock but it does not. You will believe whatever you wish to believe that suits your mindset and you will not believe an... less
