Trump's "NOBLE" Prize Nomination was forged

Post by _Icarus »

HFS you just can't make this up anymore. From fake Time magazine overs, to forged nominations two years in a row, this could only happen with the world's biggest fraud.

To add hilarity to all of this, Trump's campaign celebrated his fake nomination in an ad that misspells the name of the prize.

When I first heard about this, I thought the Nobel judges were basically telegraphing that the award means nothing.

It restores my trust in their opinion to find out this is BS. That makes way more sense.

The article refers to the first time Trump was nominated for the Peace Prize, in 2018. The current nomination is actually for the 2021 Peace Prize. Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of Norway's right-wing Progress Party, is responsible for both nominations. There are currently over 300 nominations for the Prize.

Oh, ok - thankful that you were heading up the dismissing and diminishing department. I almost thought the recent peace agreements; no new wars; and ending other wars were justification. Glad to see the Obama bar for getting nominated is still in play.

In your opinion, if Hillary Clinton had been elected, would the United States have gone to war against Russia? I'm not trying to troll you; I'm honestly seeking your opinion.

Anyone else may chime in, too.

Its unlikely that she would have gone up against Russia, they are a profit center for her.
But she would have gone to war with someone for sure.
