The participation trophy vibe is real.
“This is your peace prize,” FIFA’s president tells Trump, giving him a certificate and a trophy, and encouraging him to put on a medal.

From @theathletic.com: The Detroit Lions were the first team to harness the marketing power of Thanksgiving games. The idea was a smashing success. Decades later, the Dallas Cowboys also wanted in on the action. “But we’ll always be first.”

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF
