The way the world is at the moment, I wish they would purposefully not make an award to anyone, just to make a point of how low international relations have sunk.

" Donald Trumpās mentor, the lawyer Roy Cohn, was a close associate of McCarthy and, as a prosecutor, was the one who secured Ethel Rosenbergās death sentence. That lineage is clear. "
Democrats have a terrorist wing therefore we must make political opposition illegal.
Columbian Fishing boats are Venezuelan narcoterrorists therefore we can drone them to death.
The government of Qatar was called by trump a funder of anti American terrorism so weāre building them an air force base on US soil

Nobel Peace Prize
Excellent. Iām sure the winner is worthy. I canāt help but laugh that itās a Venezuelan woman, given Trumpās disregard for women and Venezuela.
Very glad that Trump didnāt get his orange paws on it. Informed observers knew he wouldnāt, but the world is such a bonkers place since the advent of Trump, and MAGA, that there was a slight doubt because rules and norms donāt apply to him. Well done to the committee for being independent, and by extension, the Norwegian government for allowing them to do their job. Itās remarkable that we live in an age where allowing people to do their work, in a business-as-usual fashion, should be potentially risky.
After arming Israel to the teeth, and funding them tens of billions a year, and watching them raze the Gaza Strip to the ground, killing, so far, many tens of thousands of people; and now watching Trump manufacture domestic crises, to turn American troops on their own people because they are in cities Trump doesnāt likeā¦ had Trump won the Nobel Peace Prize, it would have lost all credibility.
I think Trump is wrestling with his own mortality. He has mused on a couple of occasions about whether or not he will make it to heaven. I would imagine his play for the Nobel Peace Prize was a weird attempt, in his own mind, to make up for his many sins.

As for the Qatari base, it is strange to the nth degreeā¦
Until you factor in the shiny 747, the billions invested into Trump crypto, and the promise of more $$ to come.
Money. Sex. Power.
Trump is a simple creature. These three things drive him.
On the sex part, witness his life as a playboy, the multiple marriages and affairs, paying off porn stars, grabbing em by the pussy, and likely worst of all, the teen beauty pageants and years long relationship with Epstein. I hope that all comes out and sinks him.

ā Soon after the Nobel Peace Prize committee announced it was awarding this yearās honor to MarĆa Corina Machado, the leader of the main opposition movement in Venezuela, the Trump White House issued an unequivocal condemnation.
āThe Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace,ā Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, wrote on social media on Friday. President Trump had been openly campaigning for the prize.
But things are complicated in matters of peace and war.
Marco Rubio, Mr. Trumpās secretary of state and national security adviser, is a longtime supporter of Ms. Machado. In fact, he signed a letter last August to the Norwegian Nobel Committee supporting her nomination for the prize.
āIt is our firm belief that MarĆa Corina Machadoās courageous and selfless leadership, and unyielding dedication to the pursuit of peace and democratic ideals, make her a most deserving candidate for this prestigious award,ā Mr. Rubio and the other lawmakers wrote.
āWe hope that the Nobel Committee will recognize MarĆa Corina Machadoās remarkable contributions and grant her the distinction she so rightly deserves,ā they said.
Mr. Rubio and Ms. Machado posted praise of each other on the social media platform X months ago. But as of noon on Friday, hours after the Nobel committeeās announcement, Mr. Rubio had not written a single word about Ms. Machadoās win on either his personal or official accounts on X.

Only just noticed that Letitia James is being accused of Mortgage Fraud. Isnt that the same charge they tried in two other cases (one being one of the board members of the FED?). What is it about Mortgage fraud that leads them to use that to pursue people - is it a flex on that being what Trump himself was accused of?

Just thinking out loud, but why all the dough to Argentina?
Another reason might be planning ahead, for when he has to run from the Epstein consequences. Trump will need a safe haven.
Partially yes. Itās why he constantly talks about impeaching everyone trying to minimize that part of his cv.
To do this He installed a partisan as head of the HUD and they are pretending that in his role at HUDhe just keeps coming across paper work proving trumpās enemies are committing the same crime he was charged with

There is history of hedge fund guys having money tied up in Arg and needing extraordinary measures to get it back. At least one of Beasantās circle will be looking to be made whole by this move. And trump is fine because he cares little for details and can easily be sold on the idea that a successful Milei is good for maga
Edit and of course planet money has done a good episode on this
