(495 posts)That would be a competitive category every year.
TV should have one as well. Tim Allen would be a favorite for the award every year.

..."But after he embraced social media, Mr. Trump returned to the topic again and again in tweets and in YouTube videos posted many years after he lost. His fulminations over his Emmy snubs echo much of the language he has used to attack his political opponents during the presidential campaign.
Certain shows and I can name them and maybe at some point I will just dont get the acclaim that they should and other shows year after year after year keep being nominated and whether people watch them or not they shouldnt be nominated and everyone knows it he said in one YouTube video from 2011.
In a series of tweets posted between 2012 and 2014 he criticized the awards show that snubbed him as having no credibility and low ratings. The show that beat him was a joke, he said.".....(more)

(50,561 posts)The first episode shows President Obama interviewing however many people Trump embarrassed on his rotten excuse for a television show. Just a normal, non-humiliating interview process.
The next 12 episodes show the person who won Episode 1 going back to his or her hometown and starting a successful business that employs people and isnt a store or restaurant, using money Obama raised from his network of donors.
Season 2 is the same thing, but a percentage of Season 1 Winners companys profits also go into starting the Season 2 business.

(27,817 posts)Where you find someone with an aptitude for a profession, teach her or him how to do whatever the job is, training, educating, and nurturing their talents - then promote the apprentice to journeyman, and find another young person to mentor. No one gets booted off because that's not how apprenticing really works.
How they took a word like "Apprentice" and turned it into a synonym for a nerve-wracking competition is beyond me. Being an apprentice is supposed to be a stepping stone to accomplishing a craft or skill.

(19,085 posts)It showed how American workers will never be able to compete with Chinese ones for reasons that are actually good. American workers value family too much to be competitive with workers who are willing to leave their families to work. We shouldn't try to complete, that's just a race to the bottom, we should try to adapt.

(9,897 posts)There is no need for violence or loss of life or anyone else innocent to be harmed to take massive revenge on Trump alone...
Simply start viral online threads to Twitter about how great Obama was for diplomacy and for the world as a respected leader. The dammage to the orange-tinted asshole in our White House would be infinitely more hurtful to him than any official, state-level attacks or actions.
This man is an infant in need of a spanking, and the easiest way to make him rage without end is to point out the numerous ways he cannot measure up to his predecessor in any meaningful comparison. There is the added benefit that doing so just MIGHT cause the son of a bitch to stroke out...

(23,138 posts)The Irony it just drips. I can't stop LOL'ing. Beaten out by Obama at a game he was supposed to have mastered - beaten on his home turf. OMG, non wonder he's apoplectic, it's so awesome that this happened. It also goes further to proving Obamas genius - hmm, compared to pure idiocy and dementia - no wonder.

(84 posts)Obama should pay rent, for as much time as he spends in Trump's mind?
This will make the Orange Fudge Stick go completely ballistic! (No pun intended!)
Hollywood hates him, the NFL wouldn't have him.. His toddler brain must be exploding!
I saw the movie "Two Weeks Notice" over the weekend, and Trump made a cameo.
In the cameo Hugh Grant was waring a clown tie to his knees. I immediately thought,
"That's where Dumb Monkey got the idea that wearing ridiculously long ties was fashion"!
He saw Hugh do it in the movie and thought it was really what cool, handsome, men did!
IDIOT!
Waiting for the next tweet storm.....

(10,197 posts)Obama passed up the chance of a lifetime to hire my daughter. She interviewed for a position....behind the scenes....but didn't get it.
Just saying you are going to hear about her, and he missed his chance to say he gave her start.
Really she is very good. But she landed another job.
But the truth is the job wasn't quite what she was looking for.
Just a proud father wanting to brag.
