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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Donald Trump posted a laundry list of reasons why he believes that he should get a Nobel Peace Prize.

In a Truth Social post, the president celebrated that he was “very happy” to report on a series of deals and agreements to end global conflicts that he “won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize for.” The post came on the heels of Pakistan’s announcement that they plan to nominate him for the 2026 award, _The Hill _reported.

A man who has to say that he is the king, is not the king.

  • He is waging war against his own country
  • He threatens to invade Greenland
  • He threatens to invade Panama
  • He is actively attempting to destroy the economy of his neighbouring country/ally with intent of coercing it into annexation and constantly disrespects its sovereignty.
  • He blatantly said he would encourage Russia to invade other countries and his actions have been supporting that too
  • His cuts in aid will result in thousands of people dying of starvation while food is left rotting in storage

Next he'll demand the Nobel Prize in Economics after he crashes the economy.

Literally all you'd have to do is pull the leash back on Israel.

He should get a Nobel Prize just not for Peace. I think there's a new YUGE CRYBABY category that doesn't include any monetary reward that he'd be perfect for. I think jealousy of another certain black man getting a Nobel Prize instead of you is one of the main criteria.

Actually comes with a fine, €1000 for each publicized mention of deserving a Nobel prize. Tweets count as a mention.

Some no name group in Pakistan should just set up a 'Nobele Peace Prize' committee and award him the prize in a big grand ceremony in Lahore.

In the ceremony, just place a large oversized gold coloured metal cheap copy of the Nobel Peace Prize and put over Trump's neck.

It's not like these idiots follow convention or want to agree with reality - we would know but they wouldn't care and they could go on living in their own delusional reality.

Previous U.S. presidents to receive a Nobel Peace Prize include Theodore Roosevelt in 1906, President Woodrow Wilson in 1920, President Jimmy Carter in 2002, and President Barack Obama in 2009. Al Gore, a former vice president, also received the prize in 2007 for his efforts to raise awareness about climate change.

It brings me great joy that Mafia Don Mangolini is so incensed for many years now that these "Dems"/"Progressives" have received the prize and he has not. It sticks in his craw so badly. 😂 🤣

Gotta love it.
