    What peace did WHO and Thunberg bring to the world last year? The prize has been so marginalized it's a shame for all the past awardees who actually deserved it.

    The Nobel Peace Prize is a nonsense.... You complain about former winners and the candidates... But it's a total nonsense of a prize anyway, it's given to winners.. Hitler would have won it had he won WWII

    Anytime you start your rebuttal with a "we all know" we immediately know you do not know.

    Of course it did as I stated and your refuse to respond to.

    Trump deserves it, more so than Jimmy Carter or Obama or Gore.

    Trump doesn't deserve it, and will never get it, especially at the recommendation of Epstein's lawyer

    Blm is a terrorist organization.

    but there is no doubt they will win simply because we live in a clown society lol.

    Blm has destroyed billions in property, murdered and lied. Yet they are nominated for this lmao.

    These things haven’t meant anything for awhile now anyways. Garbage organization.

    Had the BLM movement been peaceful, I could go with it. But it wasn't, so ... no.

    The violent protests started under Obama and Trump was just an excuse to make it worse. Obama did nothing for peace. Not any where, not for any reason.
    BLM has also done nothing for peace. It's not called the Nobel "first" prize. That is given out by Guinness in their book of world records.

    Somehow that isn’t the message I heard. Seems to me that Limbaugh made a living by expressing the very xenophobic, misogynistic, homophobic, anti-intellectual, anti-science, anti-liberal tripe that is so often heard on that side the fence. Is that not why he became so popular? He was happily expressing all the things that are unacceptable in polite society, and proudly so. A mean spokesman for a mean audience.

    Have you not been paying attention to the Trump’s efforts to suppress and provoke Iran? How was it that he achieved peace in Syria? By pulling out American forces and allowing Assad, with Russian assistance, to fully suppress the rebels, and by pulling back and allowing Erdogan free range to do likewise with the Kurds. Peace by strengthening strongmen seemed to be the Trump’s foreign policy agenda. Netanyahu fits that description, as well as the family that runs Saudi Arabia.

    Obama received the Nobel praise because he was not George Bush. He represented a change in American politics that many in the European community saw as greatly welcomed. Many had seen Bush’s efforts as having been rather destructive to peace and order in the world. Many were still upset over the lies that Bush and company had told to justify an unprovoked attack on Iraq. To Europeans, Obama represented a bright new direction for America.

    The Nazis did want peace, eventually. When everyone 'different' is silenced, there's 'peace', as in graveyards, for example.

    Because their efforts have been seen as hardening the divisions in the Middle East. They could have worked for peace in Yemen. They could have worked to stop the death and destruction. Instead they sold devastating weapons to Saudi Arabia so that Saudi Arabia could increase and prolong the misery of Yemen and its people. Likewise in Israel, as Israel, emboldened by Trumpian support, expanded their settlements, squeezing the Palestinians into ever smaller slices of land. It seems to me that the Trump and Pompeo were doing their best to provoke a war with Iran. Or at least just to bully them around. With Biden as president, I’m sure that the US will return to the diplomacy, and to the treaty, that was begun under Obama.

    To many people, the causes for world healthiness and a healthy environment are seen as worthwhile and honorable causes.

    I'd almost put my money on BLM, but I haven't seen the entire roster of clowns yet.

    If Martin Luther King were alive, I think He'd acknowledge the fact that Black Lives do matter in this country and Black Lives Matter is a part of our Civil Right movement. I hope I made sense to what I said.

    IMO, the actions of Israel in 1967 against the USS Liberty were as vile as actions can be. They were the actions of an enemy.

    The subsequent cover-up efforts were equally vile. Israel did nothing to make up for its actions except send Jonathan Pollard here.

    I have many good Jewish friends, but the Tel Aviv government is the enemy.

    The choice between Biden and Trump is the choice between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.

    Vile actions demand vile criticism.
