It is an obvious message to Trump that a Venezuelan peace activist and anti-authoritarian leader of prodemocracy efforts in her country was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Think about that Trump. A prodemocracy, anti authoritarian leading a people’s opposition. No record of blowing fishing boats out of the water. A strong record of promoting free speech and advocating for peaceful opposition. A strong history of fighting the kinds of actions Trump is taking in the U.S. Message delivered.

I agree with the “Nobel Committee”!😂

OSLO, NORWAY (The Borowitz Report)—After promising on Truth Social that the gathering would be “wild,” on Friday Donald J. Trump summoned angry supporters to a rally outside the headquarters of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Urging his irate loyalists to “stop the steal,” Trump declared, “If you want to win the Nobel Peace Prize, you’ve got to fight like hell.” In a brief public statement, the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, “What a f#$king baby.”

Well thought out and executed by the committee. I doubt Trump will see it though. He's probably too busy plotting how to overtake Oslo.

Yes! And a mere citizen, who is a woman none-the-less, who dares to lead street protests and demonstrations on promoting a new democracy! Poor Trump. He just doesn't get that in order to receive the prize for peace, one has to promote peace. Duh!!! Silly man also doesn't get that in order to be liked, you need to be likeable. I think these facts alone show how warped his thinking is. It's like he wants to say, 'But I have a gold toilet! How can you not like me?'

It's interesting that neither of them like the Maduro government though, isn't it? Wouldn't you think he'd celebrate this given his antipathy for Maduro? He's blowing fishermen out of the ocean for the crime of being Venezuelan. They're on the same side.

The explanation that the Nobel Peace Prize Committee published says it all. The thought that tRump even considered himself a candidate is ludicrous.

As for Mike Johnson, he needs to be reminded daily that all suffering and cruelty by his decisions, will be recalled in history and his trial. Because, yes, there will be our own Nuremberg trials. The world will never forget.

The Nobel Peace Prize went to a woman actually working for peace. News for Trump. Mike Johnson is a joke. When this nuts group is gone, Mike will supply a lot of jokes for Cartoonists!

The fact that Trump had it in his pea brain that he should get the Nobel Peace Prize, when all he does is lie, take credit from others, make up accomplishment of his, destroy and attack our Country and its system of laws, and blows up fishing boats, is beyond insane. Trump lives in a fantasy. I'm so glad that the Prize committee wasn't bribed or threatened into it. If given to him that way, the Nobel Peace Prize would forever lose its worth. Love that it went to a Venezuelan! As for Mike Johnson, the coward and ass kisser, he needs to be raked over the coals daily.

Well, George Conway, Esq. (of the former Kellyanne 🤢) and a host of psychiatrists and psychologists put a full page ad in The Times stating how dangerous trump is. Before the election. He's a full-on narcissistic psychopath in their view.

On the one hand, good for caller Samantha for holding Johnson accountable. On the other, with special needs children and a military spouse with PTSD, she would be best served by realizing how the party obsessed with oligarchical wealth, protecting sexual predators, and obstructing normal government function is not helpful to her or her family, or to the armed forces, or to our nation at large. I hope this wakes her up.

Unfortunately, these people have been brainwashed by the cult, which is why they are so dangerous, because they can no longer think for themselves. We need to work toward deprogramming them, and the shutdown is helping with that, which is why it’s such a great thing.

Your "other hand" became an attack on her. I view my role in this rebellion as being someone who is in part representing those who are so overwhelmed trying to exist that they can't take up the fight. She strikes me as one of them.

What did I say that was untrue? She does realize what Johnson’s actions are doing to her family. She identified herself as a republican. I am not attacking her, just hoping that she understands her party’s antipathy toward her and most of us.

You both have a point. While she stated she is republican, did she say she voted for this monstrosity? I have a friend who's a "fiscal republican", in Chicago yet, who last voted for 🍊🤡 in 2016, thinking he was a good businessman. Jesus Christ. 🤦🏻

I didn’t hear her say who she voted for. My point is that she is a republican. That party’s policies are causing her great stress and consternation. The best interests of her and her family are not being served by her own party.

I loved the way the Nobel committee worded the announcement! It was as if they were telling tRump why he didn’t get it and never will!

And Johnson looks like a petty little man when he tries to explain why what he and the republicans are doing is good for the country! He must think “we the people” are stupid!!

Trump should never win a Nobel peace prize! Good Lord, he’s living in a fantasy land if he truly thinks he deserves one. The only prize he deserves is when he’s is when he’s awarded prison time! As far as Johnson goes, he deserves all the constant condemnation that he gets. Thanks again Scott! I need all the positivity you give us daily!

So Trump had a cabinet meeting and met with Carney.

Listen, I sat through seventy fucking minutes of Donald Shitsniffer's cabinet meeting, and I need you to understand something visceral here—my neurons were screaming, actually screaming, like they were being waterboarded with stupidity.

(Read the rest of my take here: https://thistleandmoss.com/p/when-democracy-facepalms-so-hard-it-leaves-bruises-on-trumps-fucked-anushole)

If the cabinet meeting was a dumpster fire, the meeting with Canada's PM Mark Carney was a thermonuclear ass-blast of incompetence. Picture this: you're sitting next to a world leader, someone who actually understands policy, and instead of discussing actual diplomatic matters, you suggest their entire fucking country should just "join the US." The audacity.

Mike Johnson was elected Speaker because he was milquetoast - both ends of the Republican caucus could stomach him - not because he was a good leader. He proves this every day.
