Republicans Create Award for Mango Mussolini

[angrychair]

This is absolutely the most bonkers shit I have seen in....days maybe:

House Republicans held their annual National Republican Congressional Committee fundraiser on Wednesday night in Washington, D.C. Before Trump spoke, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced that the NRCC had come up with a new honor to bestow on the president.

Yes, you read that right. They created a fucking new award, "America First Award" with a gold statue trophy and certificate. I mean, WTF. This is some scary shit here. That's really bonkers.

And we want to honor him in some small way, some token of our appreciation for his leadership. And so, tonight, we have created a new award. We’re going to do something we’ve never done before. We’re going to honor him with a new award that we’ll present annually from this point forward. But he is the suitable and fitting recipient of the first-ever America First Award. We could think of no better title for what that is. That’s this beautiful golden statue here. Appropriate for the new golden era in America. (Comments written by Mike Johnson)

I'm just blown away. That...is just wild. I'm just shocked at how openly "dear leader" they are being. It's creepy as hell that they aren't even trying to hide it.

1. Mike Johnson presenting an "America First" award to Donald Trump

would be like Maxwell presenting a Respect for Girls award to Epstein.

3. Drumpf is so incredibly senile he doesn't even realize that he is being patronized

The best description I’ve seen is that people are treating him like a Make-A-Wish kid.

4. Remember when the RW complained about "all shall have prizes"? Now it's "Trump shall have all prizes"

The complaint was that modern children were being over-praised, and people had made up prize after prize so that everyone could be told they'd won something, and they were so special. The word "snowflake" was thrown around a lot.

And now the most powerful man in the world has such a fragile ego that his toadies have to keep up a stream of newly-invented awards for him to win, and the fuckers just stand there and make speeches about it as if they hadn't just dipped their souls in a vat of diarrhoea, and come up with a brown-stained grin.

5. They should shove it up his festering ass for safekeeping.

6. I can't believe these people are grown adults

How miserable do you have to be daily, that you have to do shit like this all the time? Constantly propping this guy’s ego up and telling him how amazing he is. It’s getting comical

7. Soon to be informally known as the "Golden Ass" award. nt
