Two weeks from tomorrow, October 10, is when the Nobel Peace Prize winner will be announced,

[Ocelot II]

and we can be damn sure who it won't be. What will Himself do when the winner turns out to be a person or an organization that has legitimately worked for peace? Maybe Pope Frances? Francesca Abanese, the UN special rapporteur for the West Bank and Gaza? the Committee to Protect Journalists? The OSCE’s Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights & The Carter Center? The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom? The International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court? (https://www.prio.org/nobellist)? The complete list of nominees is confidential; the committee doesn't release it, but there are more than 300. When he doesn't win, will he have a hissy fit on national TV or just post something crazy on Fake Twitter? Will he throw ketchup at the Norwegian Embassy and expel the ambassador? Impose insane tariffs?

Will that be the gasket that finally blows?

Stay tuned.

1. Oh surely it's going to be Trump, he did just end what, 11 wars? LoL

[misanthrope]

4. 111

11 was just last week.

[Ocelot II]

6. Is it up to 11 now?

He claimed to have negotiated a peace deal between Armenia and Cambodia, two countries that are 4,000 miles apart and as far as anyone knows never have exchanged an angry word. Does that count?

[misanthrope]

38. It counts triple

He was so powerful he coerced them to go back in time and move their nations that far away from each other.

[Meadowoak]

48. Now that's impressive. Said no one ever.

[dweller]

2. I hope it's Joe Biden

just imagine the



✌🏻

[Meadowoak]

5. Hope so too.

[Walleye]

27. That would be just too delicious. And Joe deserves it too, staying peaceful in the face of all this hostility.

And he didn’t start any wars in his term

[electric_blue68]

47. Probably not, but that would be Hilarious!!!

There would not be enough ketchup bottles to handle his rage!

[ms liberty]

3. They could give it to Biden. Or Gavin Newsom. Or Obama again

[Jilly_in_VA]

7. And hopefully

that will be the day the orange slime's head explodes when he doesn't get it. Or he strokes out, or has a heart attack, Or something, anything, that takes him out of our misery!

[underpants]

8. Until his UN speech I hadn't heard them talking about it much recently

I thought they’d collectively agreed to drop it.

But….Trump is an ignorant self consumed child.

[Happy Hoosier]

9. Keep the ketchup locked up! NT

[Bayard]

28. I was thinking the same thing

They better have a whole team of wall scrubbers ready.

[Hugin]

10. The bright side of this is...

That for once I am higher on the list than someone.

[chouchou]

11. Well, Trump did stop the gigantic war between Canada and Australia.

(Probably Kennedy told him that)

[Hugin]

17. There was also the Narnia incursion...

Trump ended that by putting a gold colored Master lock on the armuar after shoving through a few alleged illegals.

[usonian]

12. The "War President" is going to be disappointed.

P.S. the list of nominees is released FIFTY YEARS AFTER the year's prize is awarded. (Per Nobel)

[newdeal2]

13. Maybe he will get a different Nobel for his work in pediatrics and autism

Don’t take Tylenol, don’t do it! Nothing bad will happen!

[Ocelot II]

16. Tyler Robinson is a murderer. Charlie Kirk was a troll but murder is murder.

[Ping Tung]

15. World Central Kitchen, UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders, OXFAM, etc

I prefer giving the Peace Prize to organizations that actually do something helpful for people injured, starved, relocated, tortured in conflicts. Rather than individuals in search of power and trophies.

[Ocelot II]

18. Anybody who begs for or demands the prize should be automatically disqualified.

I'd love to see World Central Kitchen or Doctors Without Borders get it. Trump is reported to have gone so far as to call up Jens Stoltenberg, Norway's finance minister (and former NATO head) to pester him about it (the Norwegian government has nothing to do with the deciding on the award, but Trump probably doesn't know or care). That's just embarrassing.

[Walleye]

31. He should've renamed the defense department, the department of peace.

[Walleye]

30. Exactly, since they can put the money to good use

[Traildogbob]

19. When does the

“Noble Peace” prize get announced?
The one that he was told by one of the round table butt licking cabinet members that Trump is a shoe in for to receive.

[Ocelot II]

20. October 10. That's what this thread is about.

[Traildogbob]

21. You missed my whole point

The cabinet butt licker called it the “Noble” Peace Prize multiple times during his Licking of the butt.
Shows how stupid those dip shits are. No one corrected him in the room of fools.
It’s “Nobel” not “Noble”. And he actually pronounced it over and over “Noble”. Ain’t no such Prize.

[Ocelot II]

23. My bad.

[Traildogbob]

24. We could let him

Dress up in his King’s Cape and Golden crown, give him a NOBLE Peace prize and Maybe he and his stupid cult would STFU about it.

[Ocelot II]

25. Maybe they'll give him a participation trophy to shut him up.

[Traildogbob]

26. Infused with some

Pooty plutonium,

[Tommy Carcetti]

45. You didn't read the news?

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220424717

[Traildogbob]

46. I DID miss that.

Finally some news I can digest and not throw shit.
KKKaroLyin is one piece of fake Jesus shit. She snorts the shroom spores right outta his balding combover pubs. Trippin on lies.

[maxsolomon]

22. Really tough year for Peace.

Maybe no one wins, because the world lost.

[BamaRefugee]

29. If he doesn't win, Norway, better be prepared for a military invasion. Sweden too since that's where Nobel was from.

I wouldn't be surprised if Pete Kegbreath doesn't already have an aircraft carrier heading their way.

But I don't think it will come to that.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON EARTH HAS THEIR PRICE, and he will simply pay whatever it takes to "win it".

With taxpayer money of course.

[Walleye]

33. I was thinking, maybe he will start blowing Norwegian fishing boats out of the water

[Ocelot II]

34. It won't go that far, although the scenario is interesting, to say the least,

since Norway is a founding member of NATO, and Sweden just joined. What happens if a NATO member invades another NATO member? But Trump's retaliation, if any, is more likely to take the form of ridiculously high tariffs (On what? Lutefisk? Salmon? Expensive wool sweaters?) coupled with obnoxious bluster.

[BamaRefugee]

37. He better not tariff Akvavit!

[Ocelot II]

39. That stuff will put hair on your chest.

Whether you need it or not.

[BamaRefugee]

40. My family is directly descended from Danish Vikings so I've had a lot of it.

Here's how you disguise how strong it is when serving rookies:
You cut the top off of a large PAPER milk carton.
You fill it almost to the top with water.
You drop LOTS of colorful flower petals into the carton.
Insert the Akavit bottle.
When it's frozen solid, remove the carton and you have a bottle frozen(the correct way to serve it) in a solid block of ice with flowers floating around in it.
It looks totally sweet and innocent.

[Ocelot II]

42. I have a bottle of the stuff, which I have used very carefully.

It's a Norwegian brand called Høvding (my family is descended from Norwegian Vikings), and I've made gløgg with it. Even in that form it's pretty intense.

[BamaRefugee]

43. might need to be reclassified as a drug

[meadowlander]

32. I wouldn't bet the house it won't be him.

Are we sure he couldn't bribe and pester his way on?

I mean Henry Kissinger and Yassar Arafat had one, what else do you need to know?

[Ocelot II]

36. The joint award to Kissinger and Le Duc Tho in 1973 was very controversial

and a huge embarrassment for the committee, two of whose members resigned in protest. Le Duc Tho refused the award and Kissinger eventually tried to return it. I doubt the committee, obviously consisting of different people now, want a reprise of that debacle. And apparently they are already taking a dim view of Trump's pressure campaign:

Donald Trump’s open pining for a Nobel Peace Prize may actually damage the president’s chances of ever being awarded the prestigious honor and the $1 million that comes with it.

While not mentioning the president by name, Asle Toje, deputy leader of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, said that “influence campaigns” are more likely to have “a negative effect than a positive one” when the panel decides who gets the annual award.

“Some candidates push for it really hard and we do not like it,” Toje told Reuters. “We are used to work in a locked room without being attempted to be influenced. It is hard enough as it is to reach an agreement among ourselves, without having more people trying to influence us.”

[BamaRefugee]

41. Bingo

[RockRaven]

35. Both Norway and the country the winner is from are going to have an orange headache...

[Tommy Carcetti]

44. Chef Jose Andres and World Central Kitchen, please.

They are long overdue.

Chef Andres is a living saint.
