          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 …

      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.

    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.

          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.

      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.

      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.

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

    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.

        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.

    “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 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.

    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.

            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.

              You just called Trump an oppressed in a very round about way in your last comment. Thats troll behavior. The man himself was pleaded to by a priestess to not stomp immigrants with a gestapo regime and he then proceeded to stomp immigrants with a gestapo regime. Jesus would want us to protect these immigrants.

                I believe you think I called Trump oppressed. May I guess as to why? I think it’s because you’re of the opinion I simply must agree Trump has NPD, so if I call people with NPD oppressed, I am including Trump. But the only mental disorder I think Trump has is dementia. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a disorder. It disables or distresses the one who has it. Trump does not look disabled or distressed to me, so he does not have the disorder. I’m far more concerned about the innocent people you’re vilifying who have a disorder you’ve chosen to treat with hate. They’ve done nothing to harm you. Please, think about what Jesus would do. Love your neighbour instead. And then we can all team up and sacrifice the orange Antichrist on a pyre.

            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.”

    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.
