Cool! Since obstructing justice gets you a doctorate of law, I wonder if killing someone would get you a doctorate of medicine.

Isn't it common for universities to bestow honorary doctorates?

All honorary degrees are unearned. Why is the university not reputable?

Got a linky? A quick Google found nothing. I'm gonna assume President Trump got an honorary degree for speaking. Those and 50 cents gets you a roll of toilet paper.

I'm sure how Forbes rates universities but there are thousands of them in the U.S. and this seems to be in the top 659.
As long as they teach natural selection as well, then that's fine. Plenty of people major in biology and never work in the discipline. I'm one of them. Not likely a future scientist would accept the creationism version.

If I were Trump, I wouldn't want the press to get a whiff of this story either.
How embarrassing.
Sad!

Liberty is not that bad a university, not my cup of tea, but for some maybe so.
An honorary degree is just that. An honor. President Trump has had a good relationship with Liberty for a while. No biggie.
OTOH a posthumous degree is generally awarded to the earned the degree then died prior to receiving it. Unless.

Then the U that gave Trayvon Martin an honorary degree must be a joke too- or does it only apply to President Trump...
Out of curiosity, what criteria was used concerning Forbes and their 'samples'... more fake news just like Hillary's poll numbers...
Liberals are the gift that keeps on giving, thank you.
Oh and to add, your hypocrisy is showing. Again. And again. And again...

You have to see the irony of an honorary 'Doctor of Law" after the week he has just been through?

If I were Trump I'd refuse a joke degree from th 3rd rate joke university of the Rev. Falwell, but fortunately, I'm not Trump.

Darn, nowhere in the definition of "irony" does it say if you're blue or if you're red. Irony just is....
