https://jojofromjerz.substack.com/p/j-edgar-who-the-fuck-invited-kashLeave it to the fucking Trump regime to wedge their greasy little administrative talons into one of the most incandescent moments in American Olympic hockey.

Lake Placid wasn't a vacation. It was a pilgrimage. I went there largely to stand inside Herb Brooks Arena, to see it with my own eyes. That building is a basilica built out of Plexiglas and bone chips. It is taped wrists and chipped paint and banners still humming with the ghosts who earned them. You walk in and history doesn't whisper -- it crackles.
So when our anthem rolled out yesterday and those players stood there with gold medals blazing against sweat-slicked jerseys and split lips and taped knuckles, it wasn't just a ceremony, it was a coronation forged in collisions, it was history still sweating through its jersey.

. . .
And then -- like a corporate watermark slapped across a Renaissance masterpiece -- Kash fucking Patel.
Beer in hand. Medal around his neck. Smiling like he logged a shift instead of boarding a fucking jet.
Bug-Eyed Badge Goblin himself, blinking into champagne spray like the locker-room lights just startled him into sentience.

They don't even give medals to coaches & team personnel. Only the players.
There are no medals to give out as honorary prizes.

(425 posts)I come from a generation that grew up not using "certain words." I still rarely do, though the orange creep does have me expressing myself in more less decorous ways than I used to. Thank you JoJo for giving me voice.
I was at the Miracle on Ice and it holds a special spot in my heart. As then, this year's win belongs to those who gave their all, including teeth, not to some pathetic wannabe. They deserve the spotlight, not some hanger-on. Disgusting.
