Anyone who thought having his name and Nobel's name in their mouths together are beyond salvation

He’s probably threatening to arrest and deport her. Even if she isn’t in the US.

María Corina Machado comes from a super rich industrialist family, whose companies were socialized by the government. She is the embodiment of antisocialist capitalism, which gives itself a coat of liberal virtue paint when it loses power.

[–] Dogyote@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 hour ago

Her winning seems like a gesture towards Trump. Like "hey, you didn't win but guess what, an enemy of the regime you're considering toppeling won. Maybe you could work with that."

[–] galoisghost@aussie.zone 18 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

✅ Woman

✅ Venezuelan

✅ Actively fighting a dictator

That’s a massive “fuck you!” to you know who.

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

Sure, maybe they should rebrand the prize to Nobel resistance prize then.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

It's wild that the pedo-in-chief was even nominated, but I guess the barrier to entry is very, very low. Given that we are talking about the pedo-in-chief.

[–] ChaosInstructor@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Why did anyone even consider Trump for Nobel peace Prize? The prize is not for what you did this year, it is for what you did last year or before. The nomination ended January 31. So the earliest he could be awarded the prize is 2026.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 1 points 1 hour ago

I hate how all the news cycle is about him, just because he wanted it.

[–] Dogyote@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Doesn't this play into Trump's threats towards Venezuela's government? The nobel peace prize committee just handed a lot of legitimacy and publicity to someone opposing the same regime Trump is targeting.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago

It feels to me more like they are fucking with him.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 47 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

To be fair to Barack Obama, I think that even he didn't think he deserved the Peace Prize for basically just being elected. His response after finding out was very much a "uh.....ok....really? You sure about that?" because it undermined him and the Peace Prize

But my relief at not having to hear gloating vs. the usual orange-flavored aggrievment is real.

[–] mister_flibble@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Hell, I could be ok with them giving him another one. Not for anything he's actually done, just because it might literally give Trump a fucking coronary.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I agree. I think they should give him one at every single opportunity. And it's not just Taco that it drives crazy. Anything Obama-related drives millions of racists crazy.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 18 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Remember that Kissinger also got the Nobel Peace Prize, I don't think Obama being given the prize undermined it that much

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works -3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Kissinger got the prize for ending the Vietnam war, which is a good reason.

[–] RFKJrsBrainworm@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

He also extended the Vietnam war by a bunch.

[–] derry@midwest.social 10 points 2 hours ago

He also thought up the idea of bombing the shit out of southeast Asia. Asshole. Kissenger not you.

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

Sure, not saying he was a good guy.

[–] G3NI5Y5@piefed.social 2 points 1 hour ago

Any prize that goes to someone like Trump, is not worth anything at all.

[–] petersr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Finally some good news.

[–] USSEthernet@startrek.website 16 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Hahahaha, bet he'll claim it was rigged.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

More like he's gonna start sending the Texas National guard to Sweden to investigate how the Nobel Committee got infiltrated by Antifa

[–] Regna@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

And thus missing the entire point as it’s a Norwegian thing, the peace prize.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Do you think Donald Trump lets himself get distracted by details like that?

[–] Ibisalt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

yeah, switzerland better be prepared that trump will invade them mistaking them for sweden.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 14 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

I'd bet my car that he will drop any peace talks at the spot and walk away.

There goes the Israel Palestine project down the drain

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 9 points 3 hours ago

If he won the peace prize, he'd say he finished peace and would have done the same thing.

He's a loser who only does things for the prize at the end. Once he has the prize (or not), there's no incentive for him to continue.

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

Bet taken. I expect your papers and key in the mail by next month.

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Trump wanted it sooo bad (well, he claimed it is probably closer to the truth) and now it's awarded to someone from Venezuela. Did not Trump made the army shoot at Venezuelan boats ? Oh the irony ... the irony

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

That was a totally peaceful and perfect act of peace

[–] sapousername@kbin.earth 6 points 3 hours ago

And now we know where the next war will be

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 hours ago

I was worried for a while.

[–] Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

So this is why we're blowing up Venezuelan boats.

[–] thisnameisnottolong@piefed.au 10 points 5 hours ago

😁😆😂🤣😭🥲🥹😌 good.

[–] muzzle@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

In order to truly spite him, they should have given the Nobel peace prize to the global sumud flotilla.
