    Yeah well the person the Nobel committee gave it to is a Trump supporter and wants the US to intervene in Venezuelan politics. They gave it it Trump by proxy even if he is too stupid to realize it.

          They all come up to me and stop and they say sir, I’m sorry to hear you lost the prize to a very nasty person. A real nasty person. I hear she didn’t even win in her own country you know, and I shake my head and I say it’s too bad, the state of things. A big shame. You know who else was big? Palmer. Let me tell you about palmer …

    Its probably out of character for them, but the Nobel Commitee should make an announcement of things they consider disqualifiers for the prize to see if they can push him into relenting on his fascism.

    You know, "we will not consider any leader as a candidate who imposes or utilises martial law to rule their country. We will not consider any candidate who orders international killings of civilians.
    We will not consider any candidate that ignores their own countries constitutional protections when it comes to foreign nationals living in its territories, etc.

      we will not consider any leader as a candidate who imposes or utilises martial law to rule their country.

      Anwar Sadat got the Nobel Peace Prize in 1978.

      We will not consider any candidate who orders international killings of civilians.

      Henry Kissinger got the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973.

      We will not consider any candidate that ignores their own countries constitutional protections when it comes to foreign nationals living in its territories

      Yitzhak Rabin got the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994, and Menachem Begin got it jointly with Sadat in 1978.

      Any requirement that the Nobel Peace Prize, the most prestigious act of virtue signaling in the world, be limited only to good people, would collapse under the weight of its own hypocrisy.

        I mean it always has been a bit hypocritical. It was Noble’s attempt to whitewash his memory as the creator of dynamite, which was almost immediately used as a weapon in the Franco Prussian war.

      He also thinks he’s smart, attractive, beloved by all Americans, and good at golf. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and just thinks that’s the way it’s supposed to be. It’s never occurred to him that he might not deserve anything he wants, from companies to political victories to sexual conquests to accolades.

    “But amid the naked ambition behind Trump’s push for peace in Gaza, even those who have been highly critical of the war have hailed the deal as a major achievement.”

    It seems like they are celebrating too early. Getting the hostages back doesn’t end the war. Once the hostages are returned, they’ll go right back to genocide.

    I’m laughing that the committee awarded the prize to a Venezuelan. Trump is going to be raging all day - all caps screeching about how he deserved to win, how Maria Machado is a loser, about how many conflicts he resolved etc. His government is going to be striking out against Venezuela (despite the winner being an opponent of the regime), Norway and the Nobel Prize organization. Fox will be on a rage fest too and all his proxies too. I guarantee that we’ll see esteemed members of Nobel getting detained at US borders, being deported etc because Trump is a sore loser little bitch.

      I hadn’t heard that they gave it to someone else until I read your post.

      That’s hilarious. Any day that Trump is unhappy is a good day. I love to see unhappy billionaires because they always thought their money would make them happy, and it doesn’t. Their solution is that they’ll finally be happy if they have even more.

      Now we’re going to have to hear him cry about it for the next year, like the world-class sore loser that he is. He’ll probably try to get his followers to storm the Nobel HQ.

      The bright side is that maybe he’ll go around settling wars and conflicts around the world. Maybe we can steer his naked ambition to do some good.

          Your instance is heavily censored, both in terms of that filter, and also your instance admins who are very, very ban-happy towards people who don’t share the same views they do. I recommend switching to a less controlling instance if that sounds like a problem to you.

      because Trump is a sore loser little bitch.

      I think it’s worse than that. His cult members are sore for him. Trump probably won’t flag everyone he wants detained, but his disciples will do it for him to please daddy.

      Not that I think Trump’s not petty enough, I think he’s not capable enough.

      He knows he’ll never see the inside of a jail cell. He knows he doesnt have the decade or so that trial would take, even if the house and senate magically flipped this midterm and the dems were able to impeach him and his court.

        I was wondering about that as well so I looked into the dates. Apparently Obama got the award in October 9, 2009, and some of the first controversial drone strikes under his administration were in March and April of 2009. Dude came out the gate drone striking and the Nobel Committee just ignored it.

          Obama got the Peace Prize for creating hope after dubya … and partly in order to “bind” him to commuting to peace.

          That was not one of the better selections.
