Probably a participation trophy.  Libs hate recognizing success due to hard work.  Ruins their argument that some people can't get ahead no matter how hard they try. Did ya hear about the school in Ohio  that did  away with the valedictorian award? Just too much stress.   You know these kids are well prepared for the real world.

The picture is of Trump putting a medal around Tiger Woods neck.  The caption reads...

"And the first annual Donald Trump award for playing golf and banging porn stars goes to...."

JOJ, are you sure that was the first one? I'm sure Trump wouldn't pass up getting  number one.

well actually it was a well deserved award for supporting kids. Tiger had guts in showing up to accept after the libs went nuts again accusing him of being everything from a Nazi to a Russian spy. Good for Tiger and good for Trump and the mSM gets another sad lesson

Don't faint, mc, but I agree with you. Showing up for an award is hardly an endorsement, and we are all entitled to our own point of view even if it were. 

Humor is a very subjective thing, but I'm sure more people laughed at the caption then were offended by it.

 Think of it as just another political cartoon.

Real intellect in this conversation. But it's left leaning so all is good

Humor is certainly subjective,  but making a joke of Tiger's long road back and massive accomplishments is likely in poor taste..  But of course,  any "humor" involving Trump is just fine,  right?

Appreciate joj bringing this to our attention so that we can properly recognize Tiger.

Tiger Woods Cries as Donald Trump Awards Him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom

https://people.com/sports/donald-trump-awards-tiger-woods-presidential-medal-freedom/

"On Monday, President Donald Trump awarded the legendary golfer, who recently secured his fifth Masters Tournament win, with Presidential Medal of Freedom.                                            

The medal — which is the nation’s highest civilian honor — is given to people who show “an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors,” according to the White House.                                              

In his speech, Trump, 72, commended Woods, 43, for his talents o

Speaking to Woods’ athleticism, the president referred to him as “one of the greatest athletes in the history of sports,” “a global symbol of American excellence,” and a “true legend.”                                              

He then touched upon Woods’ previous injuries and surgeries, noting how the golfer had “inspired millions of young” from his “relentless will to win” and remarkable career, including his dramatic — and victorious — comeback at the Masters in mid-April.                                              

Trump also praised Woods for being “a great person [and] great guy,” who has spent a considerable amount of time off the green as a “devoted philanthropist” giving back."

Tim, doing that would be in poor taste, and I'm certainly glad that the joke did no such thing.

Bottom line is that whether you are Tiger Woods, football great Jim Brown, entertainer/rapper Kanye West or a 16 year old Catholic boy wearing a MAGA hat.............if you show support for Trump, you WILL be trashed by the MSM. 


In this country, freedom of the press is being blatantly abused.  We can site statistics like "93%  or 96% of coverage of Trump by the MSM is negative but its so bad that people that support him get smeared too.

and right there is the problem Kermit...if you are a lib friend you are the best, the most caring, loving, clean, respected, admired human. If you are conservative friend or worse yet a conservative Christian friend you are trash and will be trashed. Why? Well all the cool kids in the msm say so, that is why.

"Tim, doing that would be in poor taste, and I'm certainly glad that the joke did no such thing."


So, the award was actually for Tiger's extensive accomplishment, his comeback, and more importantly his extensive charitable efforts,  but the "joke" claimed the award was for playing golf and screwing porn stars, and you don't see that as making a joke of it.  Interesting.   Guess we'll once again have to agree to disagree.
