A calculated move by Machado who undoubtedly recognizes the gargantuan ego of Fuhrer Trump and is playing to it. Having not earned the prize the political gesture is meaningless. Anyone with a modicum of intellect knows it. Bur his loyal MAGAts will very likely hail the empty of any merit gesture as a great achievement by their Fuhrer.
Off topic but related. ICE in the Trump regime is, in essence, the Amerikan Gesrapo. Creating violence against citizens of this country. A peaceful "man" Trump is not.
Meanwhile, the DoD is readying US troops to be deployed to Minnesota to quell protests and problems there that, wait for it... did not exist before the Trump Admin deployed ICE in heavy handed fashion.
An American president, clamoring for a Nobel Peace Prize, instead of looking for ways to peacefully resolve conflict, is preparing to use brute force to ensure fealty and compliance.
How does anyone not know why Trump will never be worthy of a "peace prize"?
An Olympic gold (or for that matter silver or bronze) medal will make you just as much a champion as Machado's Nobel prize makes Don the Con a Nobel winner.
Funny how neither the black guy not trump did anything to earn the nobel yet both accepted it. The black guy got it for being black and trump got it to sooth his ego. Somehow it has been tarnished ever since because it shows it is a popularity contest not a recognition of achievement.
STATEMENT BY THE NOBEL COMMITTEE ON AWARDING MR. OBAMA THE PRIZE:
”The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama’s vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.
Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama’s initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened.
Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population.
For 108 years, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has sought to stimulate precisely that international policy and those attitudes for which Obama is now the world’s leading spokesman. The Committee endorses Obama’s appeal that “Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges.”
Skud, we know you never liked former President Obama. You trash him and his presidency every chance you get. In fact, you’ve been more critical of him and his presidency than you have been on Trump’s presidency.
Happily, you don’t make the decisions for Nobel Peace Prizes. The committee spelled out the reasons they awarded the prize to Mr. Obama. You disagree with their choice, fine. But your biased opinion that Mr. Obama did nothing to earn the prize is belied by what the committee said in the above quoted statement.
Instead of coming here and denigrating Mr. Obama again, I’m wondering why you have nothing critical to say about Trump‘s megalomaniacal plan to attack and take a sovereign territory away from one of our allies. It is amazing to me that the first thing you write in this comment is comparing Mr. Obama to that convicted felon and mentally ill man-child in the White House.
And he did all that in a few weeks. I know it is difficult it is to admit that he didn't deserve the nobel but the truth is sometimes difficult. Yes he had an opportunity to do great things but chose to pursue special interest politics instead and he didn't attack anyone who he didn't consider worthy.

ReplyDeleteIf someone gives me an Olympic Gold Medal, does it make me a champion?

I still think Joseph Goebbels looks like Stephen Miller.

ReplyDeleteThere are just some concepts that beyond your understanding. Let's just leave it at that.
