This. Completely this. Thank you. I couldn’t articulate this.
And I know FIFA is a way more important than a ‘club’. But put a bunch of people together interested and organizing the same stuff, it’s still a club. And they have no freaking business giving out prizes to anyone other than soccer teams. And soccer stuff. Full Stop.
Arguably, given the rampant corruption they’ve been caught doing, they have to business giving prizes to soccer teams either.
Hey, I deserve a break today, too!
(Anyway, McDonald’s isn’t the enemy. They’re not going to sell franchises to people who need SBA loans and have to dip into their retirement accounts to start the franchises. It’s those people whom I have a beef with.)
You certainly do.
I wonder if the betting markets are taking odds on “Donald wears the medal to bed tonight.”
The FIFA award certainly rivals Donald’s “Michigan Man of the Year” award in significance and notability!!!
It’s not nearly as good as the Nobel soccer tournament. I watched the draw; Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, and Economics will be the group of death.
Today I was pissed off to find that during the government shutdown he replaced the name of Admiral Rachel Levine, Biden’s Assistant Secretary of Health, who is a transgender woman, with her deadname on her official portrait.
Does anyone with more than a handful of brain cells seriously think this ‘FIFA Peace Prize’ is ever going to be awarded a second time?
Few FIFA officials were coming forward on Thursday to discuss planning surrounding the prize.
Well, no fucking shit, Sherlock.
Fuckin’ Embarrassing!
Cuz he’s such a stickler for historical accuracy.
Sure it will. Trump will get it again.
In Memoriam!
I would have no objection to a posthumous award, but only if it’s soon.
I’m lovin’ it.
Speaking of soccer, or as the rest of the world calls it, football, Trump has decided America should get in line with the others:
Now I am not a sports fan but if Trump wanted riots in the streets I think he’s found the way.
It’ll be funny to watch all the MAGAts wrench their brains out of whack trying rationalize doing away with calling it “Football,” when it wasn’t too long ago that they were ready to crucify Colin Kaepernick for daring to sully their sacred, American, I said, AMERICAN, goddamnit, sport with his fruity-patooty knee.
Nah, they’ll just deny he really said it. Or if you show them video, they’ll say it was a joke.
And when he doesn’t get traction (maybe after realizing he’s not really more popular than football after all), he won’t even mention it and they’ll forget it. So will we, as there’s so so so much more dumb shit he’s spewed in the past and yet to spew in the future.
To be fair, it was supposed to be a joke. The problem is that Trump doesn’t understand humor, either delivering it or enjoying it. So it doesn’t come off as even slightly funny. That was Trump trying to be a charming joker like Obama was able to do back in the day.
But who got the FIFA Prize in Literature?
Was it? Because nobody could say such a thing and be serious? Because Trump is too smart to make a stupid remark without thinking? Because Trump is such a student of history he knows why the sport was given that name, so there’s no way he could mean it?
It’s gotta be one of those things, any MAGA guy will assure you.
