Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Summary

Trump’s confrontational approach to Ukraine, overshadowing any potential diplomatic achievement, raises doubts about his Nobel Peace Prize chances.

Critics, including Norwegian lawmaker Christian Tybring-Gjedde, who previously nominated Trump, warn that a Russia-leaning deal unsettles Europe.

Trump’s testy meeting with President Zelenskyy, marked by demands for gratitude and threats of withdrawing support, has stoked fears that negotiations are collapsing.

The Nobel Committee’s focus on honorable conduct also factors in, with Trump’s hostility toward the press and Europe’s concerns over territorial aggression undermining the "greatest benefit of humankind" requirement.

Zelensky deserves a peace prize for not punching Trump right in his fat face during that horrible meeting.

The Nobel committee has a great opportunity to make a point here.

He'll probably seize one from someone he hates and claim presidential immunity for the crime.

I remember that one; asked to see it, then just pocketed it while his guards moved in-between them.

Trumps still butthurt that Obama got a Peace Prize and he didn't.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Yea, but it was kinda weird that Obama was awarded for .... wait what did he do again?

But Obama did live up to the principals. He ordered hundreds of drone strikes and assassinations, and Trump has never touched Obama's deportation numbers. But he did host the beer summit for the racist pig who arrested his old professor. So I guess he's got that going for him, which is nice.

Obama holds the record for most Doctors Without Borders hospitals bombed by a Nobel peace prize winner

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago

The only one that came close to Obama's deportation numbers has been Biden.

He can follow his small mustached leader's approach to vacating office and everyone would gladly celebrate his accomplishment.

Personally I'm hoping for a more "French" ending but I'll take what I can get.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The Italian ending would also be acceptable.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 hours ago

Getting Gaddafied would be acceptable as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

That seems like a terrible thing to inflict on the people of St. Helena.

Best I can do is a Nibble a Piece of Shit Prize.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Is there an anti-Nobel Peace Prize winner?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 hours ago

There’s the Ig Nobel Prize. It’s satirical so there’s a chance he wouldn’t understand that it’s not the real one. Which would make the ceremony funnier as he gets pelted with paper airplanes and heckled.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Winning that you usually end up dead in a bunker by your own hand covered in petrol, dead via bayonet to the anus, or beaten to death by a crowd along with your wife and strung upside-down.

[–] OutlierBlue 10 points 4 hours ago

In that case, I'd like to nominate him.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago

What are you talking about NBC? This is nonsense.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

They would have to do a joint Trump-Putin prize, then.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think they give Nobel Prizes to pieces of shit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Seems more likely to win the Putin's removed Prize.
