    Machado told Fox News host Sean Hannity on his show earlier this week that she would like to give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize she won earlier this year.

    Oh god.

    I guess people have been gifting Trump gold trinkets this whole admin. But this is a whole new level of cringe.

      Taco is very fond of the participation trophies he’s been getting.

      And people were saying it was all the Gen Y kids that were getting the participation trophies. Turns out that Taco, who barely missed being in the Silent Generation (but is a boomer), is a huge fan of them.

          Yeah, I never understood why people were always getting so butthurt about the notion. To be honest, as Gen X here, I remember getting one handed to me (and everyone else that competed) for “track and field day” in elementary school. I didn’t value those and none of my peers did, either. And neither did Gen Y, I bet. I did value the 1st and 2nd places and so on that I got for the actual events I competed in and placed in.

          I even heard instances of some Gen Y kids keeping their own game scores so they’d know who won when they were playing games where the adults were NOT keeping score for whatever reasons the adults had.

          Anyway: no kid gives trophies to themselves; it’s the adults that are choosing those, buying those and giving them out…

      I think when you have just been “given” everything your entire life, the concept of “earning” something is incomprehensible.
