Thank you for providing me with so many opportunities to hand out participation trophies. One especially for you **Beware of Doug**. Cherish it always. ---

Thank you and Mr. Trump for confirming this. This. We’ve got “a massive case of the red-ass” about people losing their health insurance, being paid too little to support themselves while working full time, getting kicked out of the only country they’ve ever known - stuff like that. This isn’t a damn game where the only bad thing that happens when your team loses is that the other team’s fans get to gloat. To **Clothy** and those like him, your gloating at us doesn’t bother us. What gets under our skin is that you’re really gloating over the suffering and deaths of others. That is what makes you more worthless than pond scrum. ---

Thank you Mr. President for convincing the Clothahumps of the world that they are winning something for the first time in their miserable lives. All the sweeter when the rug is yanked from under them. ---

> [@Club\_33](#): > > Thank you Mr. President for convincing the Clothahumps of the world that they are winning something for the first time in their miserable lives. All the sweeter when the rug is yanked from under them. You know, that’s exactly what people are taking Clothahump to task for, and rightly so. Taking joy in other people’s misery and disappointment (current or anticipated) is no way to build a country or a future. When you get your talking points from Eric Cartman, it’s time to reexamine your priorities. ---

Exactly. Trump is the spite president. They voted for him because it would hurt those that they hate. ---

Oh, I understand it just fine, you contemptible jerk.
