Next president should give it to Rosie O Donnel.

A lot of good that'll do him in hell.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Nono, this is a good thing. In hell, this award weighs 200 pounds and now it's on his neck as he burns.

Fuck Charlie Kirk, Fuck Turning Point USA, and Fuck MAGA. The only good fascist is a dead one.

[–] Sho@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

It's now as devalued as a cereal box prize

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Add that medal to the list of things that have absolutely no meaning.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

No, these things do have a meaning. The meaning is "fascist".
