    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.

        Why am I seeing so many comments with the word removed? Is there some filter in this instance tagging very specific words?

      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.

    Why not offer a participation trophy called the ‚Noble Piece Prize‘? At his reading level he’ll not notice any difference and no one is going to tell him.

    If he did his campaign promises of ending the wars in Ukraine and Gaza with his first week, he might’ve had a shot.

    But no, he decides to divide and antagonize.

    Even if this pause on Israeli imperialism lasts, he’s simultaneously extrajudicially bombing foreign civilians, on purpose, in international waters. And bragging about it.

    He’s actually done a phenomenal job of redefining the limits of USA politics. I mean, he’s completely destroying our country, and at a rate that even I have to acknowledge is kind of impressive, despite being horrifying.

    Sadly, I don’t think they give out the Nobel for that. But maybe we can get him one of those trophies little kids get for playing sports.

      Best case scenario for this worse case reality.

      Not actually trying to sum it all up in a quick phrase. This here is just a late night kinda one of those “Yo, that sounds right” kind of thingy things. If you wanna bust my ball sac, let’s talk sports. I hope we are all on the same side politically speaking. If not politically on the same page then your mother is a Munt.

        We will be lucky if we have a democracy after his term.

        It looks like he’s reforming the government so that it follows the dictates of the President who is wholly owned by the billionaire oligarchs of the world.

          Yeah. I listened to an episode of ologies about this.

          Age is a big part of it. Like no one over 30 wants to risk everything for something they believe in.

          The average age is older than it was in the civil war era.

    He’s like Scooby Doo who would do anything for a Scooby Snack, or Kel who would do anything for orange soda.

    Except Trump won’t do anything. Like he literally won’t do anything. He’ll just say he did something amazing and then shit his diaper and retreat back into his mansion.

    Could we use his narcissism in a productive way?

    What if we get it in his head that he hasn’t built any pyramid yet. At his age, Khufu had probably completed and was buried in his pyramid; the one that is still visible today, five millennia later. Where is Trump’s? What legacy will he leave us? He needs to start building asap

    Once he gets convinced and starts appropriating funds for that, we only talk about that. Non stop. That way he doesn’t make any progress on his fascist agenda. Just a narcissist tar pit.

    What could go wrong? Worst case scenario we have an American pyramid that is not a casino or a hunting and fishing store.

        Jesus Christ tells us to love each other. Even the sick and the mad, we should love. Turning a mental disorder into an insult isn’t what Jesus would want. Jesus would be friends with people who have narcissistic personality disorder, because they’re society’s rejects, and because Elohim has been for six thousand years the god for the oppressed.

            We are all each of us capable of the same love, the same kindness, the same wisdom, and the same miracles as Jesus Christ.

            23 “Truly[d] I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

            Mark 11

            Trolls are people who try to upset others. I can understand why you’d think I was trying to upset you by spreading the teachings of Jesus Christ, and I can understand why you’d think I was trying to upset you by encouraging you to love the mad. But I’m doing neither, and I think your sense that I’m “trolling” in a weird way is your mind’s way of telling you that. I’m here to spread understanding and empathy, not hate.
