The guy is too polarizing. He’s made this mission to shit on LIV golf and with their players demonstrating excellence it’s revealed how shortsighted he really is.
I looked for that quote from Phil and could not find it anywhere. If he did say that, it’s bad. If it’s fabricated and reprinted - it’s worse. Disrespectful to both @PhilMickelson and Hideki.
Phil Mickelson commented on Hideki Matsuyama’s win yesterday saying “He didn’t really beat a competitive field. If he wanted to do something slightly impressive, he’d finally learn English. I can’t speak Japanese but at least I can say ‘Sushi’. He can’t even say ‘Burger’.”
@chambleebrandel please get off your “soap box”. Your chronic failure to support change in the sport from which you make your living reflects your inevitable exit. Support the people from whom you derive your living (like @JonRahmOfficial) and stop annoying the rest of us!
🚨💰✌🏼#SELLING OUT — Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee says Jon Rahm sold out: “I feel like a large part of the professional game is experiencing something like Stockholm Syndrome as it relates to being involved with LIV. You look at Jon Rahm’s words in the past and the stark contrast to what he said — what he intimated many times. It was more convenient for him to do this. It’s also clear that he sold his career out.” (Via: @_PlayingThrough)
Do you agree with Chamblee?
A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:
“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

BREAKING: Donald Trump has a nuclear meltdown after Judge Tanya Chutkan slaps him with a binding gag order that limits what he can say about Special Counsel Jack Smith's prosecution.
The funniest part? Trump's complaint doesn't mention Jack Smith by name — since he's now explicitly banned from doing that.
This is just too perfect.
In the whiny officially released statement attributed to his spokesperson, Trump decried by proxy "today's decision" without stating what decision he was referring to.
The disgraced former president said that this "decision" is an "absolute abomination" that constitutes "another partisan knife stuck in the heart of our Democracy by Crooked Joe Biden."
It should be noted that Biden had nothing to do with today's decision just like he has nothing to do with any of the other indictments and prosecutions facing Trump. The disgraced ex-president is simply reaping what he sowed after a lifetime of criminal behavior.
Trump's claim that Biden was "granted the right to muzzle his political opponent" is hogwash. The simple fact is that Trump was breaking the law and endangering innocent people with his constant Truth Social rants. Nobody has a right to threaten and intimidate members of the court and prosecution team.
Hilariously, in the statement Trump claimed to be the "most popular political leader in America."
Clearly, the delusions of his rotting mind are getting worse by the day.

BREAKING: In a devastating speech, iconic actor Robert De Niro rips Donald Trump to shreds, declaring that Trump is “not a bad man,” but “an evil one” who is a “wanna be tough guy” and has “no morals or ethics.”
But Robert De Niro didn’t stop there…
De Niro continued:
“Trump has no sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.
The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world.
We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.
The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.
Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.
So, today I issue another warning.
From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:
This is our last chance.
Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.
And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.
So what do we do about it? We have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.
Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.”
“Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump.”
Well said, Robert De Niro!

BREAKING: Iconic actor Mark Ruffalo blasts indicted 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, declares Trump an “enemy of America” and calls out the media after Trump makes insanely dangerous threats.
It all started when Donald Trump encouraged his supporters to “go after” New York Attorney General Letitia James for holding him and his family business accountable for decades of widespread financial fraud — and shorty thereafter declared that shoplifters should be shot in sight.
Mark Ruffalo responded, declaring that the media needs to “wake up” and start calling Trump out on his dangerous threats before he gets someone killed.
Then, Ruffalo concluded, “A presidential contender is calling for Americans to kill and harm Americans. Let that sink in. He’s the Enemy of America from within.”
Sadly, Mark Ruffalo couldn’t be more right.
Trump is going down in flames, and he’s trying to take America down with him. He must be disqualified from the presidential race and locked away in prison cell before he does even more damage to America and its struggling democracy.

The @patrick_cantlay hat thing seemed selfish. Despite the reasons may have been valid, what it said was “I’m more important than the team.” While I really don’t like @chambleebrandel, in this case I think he was right.
Here is George Clooney response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."
"Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.
So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.
People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?
He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!
When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.
He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!"

Such bullshit. I’m a 2 and only occasionally shoot under par. The LPGA comes to my course, plays from my tees, and most shoot 2-6 under. Winning scores are 12-15 under par. Charlie Hull would kick a 3’s ass!
