That’s my second favorite Gandhi quote. My favorite, “Where the fuck are my keys?!” I admit, is less relevant.

My favorite is:

"Among the misdeeds of the British in India, history shall record the depriving an entire nation of arms as the blackest."

-- Ghandi

He gets bonus points for effortlessly folding racism into it.

Hilarious, of course. Still, you have to admit that whoever came up with the idea to give Trump this trophy is a world-class genius.

Right up there with whoever gave Obama the far more prestigious not-made-up Nobel Peace Prize. For, as far as anyone could tell, for being a mulatto.

He then murdered more children than all other Nobel Peace Prize winners put together, including Henry Kissinger, whose napalm campaign in Vietnam was captured in that famous photo I can't even post because it's cheese pizza and accusing Jews of pedophilia is antisemitic.

This is the first time I have seen a picture of the actual award, and holy crap! I'm trying to imagine the prompt that was given to the AI that generated that trophy design.

I really wish I could have seen extreme close up video of the faces of the people who dreamed up this award at the moment they decided to do it. The barely suppressed grins and sidelong knowing glances to each other would have been priceless

Yikes, is that a photo of the real award or did Jeff AI that hideous thing? I thought soccer players can’t use their hands! Shouldn’t the globe be kicked by several disembodied feet? Or bounced off an orange-haired head?

Yeah, what's with the hands? They should be cleat-clad feet.

At least we still have the Golden Globes.

Incidentally, "Hollywood Foreign Press Association" holds the record for Consecutive Words in a Title that Piss Off rednecks.

I love the idea that FIFA has just war theorists on call every year.

There is nobody who does bitter, disillusioned writing like the hard Left.

I remember reading a commie reddit clone when Hillary announced she might run again for the Democrat nomination in 2024. Oh, that thread was *hilarious*

Fortunately the Democrats didn't even hold a primary and simply announced Officer Harris was the nominee. Then accused Trump of trying to overthrow democracy, exactly what they were guilty of themselves.

Textbook psychological projection.

If you think Jeff is “hard left,” then I guess I’m skeptical of your reading comprehension

Yes, we know, no matter how far left you are, there’s always someone further who will call you fascist. Mao killed more Communists than Truman. You’d like this site, it’s up your alley and has tons of black humor that not just made me laugh my ass off but actually taught me a lot about the hard Left. I started participating in their Reddit clones after that. I’m proud of once being banned for being a “Neo-Posadist”, whatever that is. No, don’t tell me, I prefer it this way.

Yeah yeah, but Jeff doesn't even want to ban capitalism. I think you gotta be anti-capitalist before we break out terms like "hard left". Of course, that might just be because I'm an evil authoritarian gatekeeping righty (read: someone who also doesn't want to ban capitalism).
