    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

            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.

        Remember how Putin stole a Super Bowl ring from Bob Kraft? He just asked to look at it then walked out of the room with it. I bet Trump would do exactly the same thing with a Nobel medal if he had the chance.

    The Nobel Peace Prize -once granted by a jury of scholars- has been given by politicians to other politicians for years now and has become just as worthless as you’d expect. Trump should definitely have one, just because he likes golden things so much. Maybe they should create a special category, the Trump Nobel Peace Prize, just as the economists did with their “Nobel prize” for economy (or whatever). The latter is not a Nobel prize at all, but who cares. Maybe put double gold on it or better put two medals and extra cheese in a burger roll. I bet Trump would like that,

      Ah, the good old “Swedish Central Bank Prize For Economics In Honor Of Alfred Nobel”, for which they use the shortname “Nobel Prize For Economics”.

      The whole thing neatly reflects the honesty of the profession.

        But the prize in economics is awarded by the Nobel Foundation. It’s a real Nobel prize, just not one of the original ones

          It’s only “real” if your definition of “Real NOBEL Prize” doesn’t include NOBEL Prizes being set up by somebody called Alfred Nobel, which is kinda like calling a Theatre Play done by somebody working at the Shakespear Globe a “Shakespear Play”.

          You will noticed that modern plays in Shakespear style are called Shakespearian Plays, not Shakespear Plays.

          All this neatly illustrates how the Theatre World is actually more genuine than the Economics World.

            Yeah, I consider it real because they’re administered by the Nobel Foundation. Nobel didn’t set up any of the prizes himself - they were created after his death by the foundation set up to d execute his will.

              Did Alfred Nobel leave explicit instructions in his will that the Foundation he created could create more Nobel prizes?

              Because ultimatelly, it boils down to whether they were following his will or not.
