Nominated by Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a Conservative Norwegian who wants small government, once compared the hijab to Klu Klux Klan robes and wants Norway to leave the EU. So basically a Norwegian version of Trump.Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Probably for brokering the Israel - UAE peace deal. Which is a massive achievement and biggest step towards peace in that region since the Rabin assassination in 1995. Of course, since it's the orange man that doesn't count for much. Obama got the prize in 2009 for basically running a slick campaign full of unkept promises. He went on to be another wartime president (Libya, Syria, etc).Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

It's interesting how Trump's foreign policy, and recent utterances regarding American military leaders for example, has upset the traditional let-right paradigm on such matters.Probably for brokering the Israel - UAE peace deal.

Rhetoric is a powerful thing.Obama got the prize in 2009 for basically running a slick campaign full of unkept promises. He went on to be another wartime president (Libya, Syria, etc).
Ok he wants Norway nowhere near the EU. You can now breathe easy.Norway isn't in the EU, but okay.
IIRC, anyone can be nominated by anyone. If the person nominating goes through the process, voila, someone can say that they’re a nominee. There’s no major hurdle to cross.Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The guy nominating him is an idiot from a far right party. Just ignore It.Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Worst thing is he's getting increasingly more normal compared to a lot of other voices.Nominated by Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a Conservative Norwegian who wants small government, once compared the hijab to Klu Klux Klan robes and wants Norway to leave the EU.

He wants Norway to leave EFTA. That is, he hasn't really been consistent here.Norway isn't in the EU, but okay.
Drone strikes have gone up exponentially under him (with even less transparency so who knows the real figure) and military spending has increased each year.It's interesting how Trump's foreign policy, and recent utterances regarding American military leaders for example, has upset the traditional let-right paradigm on such matters.

I bet they wish they could take that one back.
Yeah, if you look at the person in the bottom left, it's the same: the shadow of her cap exactly covers her face and neck. This must've been around mid-day.Their faces are darker because of shadows. Look at all the white people with hats, it's the same with them.
Wow! Thanks for the insight. That's unbelievably shady.Worst thing is he's getting increasingly more normal compared to a lot of other voices.
Tangentially related, mentioning it just because it's funny. There's a trial ongoing right now. Two years ago there was a lot of drama because of an, at least originally, rather obscure theater production that no one saw. In it they had some video of prominent politicians's homes, among others the then minister of justice Tor Mikkel Wara from Fremskrittspartiet (the Progress Party), same party as Gjedde. The right were very unhappy with this.
In the aftermath the Wara household started getting threats. They received some letters, their car was set on fire, their home was spray painted etc. Tybring-Gjedde and his wife, also a politician from the same political party, also received a threatening letter. During this things got kinda crazy. The Oslo police even started a case against the artists and wanted to search their homes and offices (the case was later ordered dropped because what the feck), Prime Minister Erna Solberg from Høyre (the Conservative Party) criticized the artists using pretty strong words and the right generally went crazy.
The reason there's a trial ongoing right now is because Wara's wife fabricated the whole thing.

Foreign policy pronouncements I should say.Drone strikes have gone up exponentially under him (with even less transparency so who knows the real figure) and military spending has increased each year.
He uses rhetoric to establish anti-war credentials but his words don't match the outcome.
Poor old Bill.No one gives Bill Clinton credit for getting Palestinians and Israeli officials together for a "framework for peace" because it did not succeed.
So was Hitler. Let the conservative influencers have their 15 seconds.Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
And just to be clear, she didn't make the events up, she actually did the things herself. She sent the threatening letters (which she partially burnt and peed on, for added effect), she set fire to her own car and she tagged down her own home. She also inserted really weird spelling mistakes, presumably to make it look like immigrants did it.Wow! Thanks for the insight. That's unbelievably shady.
he shoots his mouth off and breaks taboos (starting with his attack on mccain in the primary), but it's all shallow. he has never followed through on any of it, he vetoed bernie's successful bill that would ban the same companies he is criticising from making their money by destroying yemen.Drone strikes have gone up exponentially under him (with even less transparency so who knows the real figure) and military spending has increased each year.

Goodnight
The Trump flag was flying at half-mast after that.
Trump is with us now until he dies. If he loses he is going to continue attacks on Biden to get himself or his children ready for a run in 2024.Oh how I cant wait for this thread to hopefully die a quick death come January.
Just ready the CNN quick synopsis on the book and damn. I mean, it won't do anything regarding the election because his followers are cult members, but...just wow.Tweet

If this is true and there is a recording, it should be a big deal and would end any other presidency.
If he loses, he’s going to be spending the rest of his life fighting legal action.I genuinely think there is a good chance the Republicans will be happy to see him jailed too as he will make the perfect martyr for them and be much more useful to them if he is completely censured.Trump is with us now until he dies.

Maybe? Most of the R's in the Senate have done a "plausible" job of not going the full Gaetz with Trump. Even Graham and Cruz have manufactured points of "disagreement" with him. So basically, if they see the ship is sinking in November I think they are going to jump into their lifeboats and get the hell out. Now the Gaetz's and Gym Jordans of the world, those ass holes are going to ride the boat to the ocean floor.If he loses, he’s going to be spending the rest of his life fighting legal action.I genuinely think there is a good chance the Republicans will be happy to see him jailed too as he will make the perfect martyr for them and be much more useful to them if he is completely censured.
I genuinely don’t believe he is going to lose at the moment and I am very close to laying a large bet on him being re-elected. I think the Republicans are going to go for an all out assault on this election because they’ve just proven that if you own the senate you are completely free of consequence.
Yep, he didn't want to create a panic or a disorganized response like happened in every other country that took the science seriously and took action.
At a minimum, it should put to bed any arguments that not doing something to prevent a panic was far worse than doing something and potentially causing a temporary panic that quickly subsided after the lockdown.Yep, he didn't want to create a panic or a disorganized response like happened in every other country that took the science seriously and took action.
Should have gotten a bullet instead.Even Henry Kissinger got one!
Zombies take more than a single bullet to kill.Should have gotten a bullet instead.

From March, yet this is only released now
This seems significant, so it will probably end up with no impact on anything at all.
Just one? come on man!Should have gotten a bullet instead.
