In the bowl? The hopes and dreams of decent Americans. As soon as the photo op was over he emptied it down the drain and filled it with candy.

Winning’s for chumps and Democrats. Republicans are going to use voter suppression and gerrymandering to cheat their way to perpetual minority rule. FiveThirtyEight has a handy state of play summary here:
The GQP is pandering to their deposed toddler God king because they don’t want him to shut off the ATM.

This is the key to decoding the trophy. But if they think the tRump crime family will use it for the GOP’s benefit, they haven’t been paying attention to the big con.

I first heard that joke about 25 years ago, from my boss. I guess he just wanted to make sure I knew who I was working for. (I already knew.)

That army of imbeciles attacked the capital city, attacked the seat of government… of the United States of America… because he told them to. That army also harasses anyone he says is an enemy who must be attacked. So… just from that perspective alone, being anywhere near him is very dangerous, because he can turn his army on you and your family. It’s a real threat.

So, like, a participation trophy? Isn’t that one of those things the right is always railing against?

“The Donald J. Trump Award for Exceptionable Presidenting” ?

To be fair, every award starts out as something someone made up.
The Nobel Peace Prize could be described as "A prize made up by a guy who sells explosives and ammunition who gives it to people who don’t kill others quite as much as his products do.
And Oscars are “An odd statue of a stylized naked guy with a sword. The award was made up by showbiz insiders to be given to their friends to help sell move tickets”.
An award has such prestige as it acquires. This one isn’t going anyplace grand I imagine. Be interesting to see if it actually gets given out regularly or even again.

Some of them were meant to require some kind of merit to win, though, instead of being made up with a specific recipient in mind.

Exactly. Alfred Nobel didn’t create his peace prize specifically to butter up Frédéric Passy and Jean Henry Dunant.

Ah, we’ve all had that one.
Mine was one who said “I practice “seagull management”… I fly in, shit all over everything, then fly away.”
Very true. very true.
