So, Trump is being fronted for the Nobel Peace Prize... and the left goes....

[K Frame]

Stark raving *expletive deleted*ing mad.

Even the South Korean president is pushing the idea that Trump should be considered for the prize.

So, WJLA in Washington, DC, had a viewer poll yesterday asking if Trump should be considered for the Nobel prize if something fruitful comes out of the Korean talks.

As can be expected, only 17% of the people polled thought he should be considered. Some of the no comments were pretty indicative of the "He could cure cancer, end poverty and hunger, and make everyone wealthy and he still wouldn't deserve any credit for anything ever because he's a Nazi!"

The whole while I'm thinking... Donald Trump has done more for world peace in a year's time in office than Barak Obama did for his no time in office, and guess who has a Nobel prize?


Looking at the list of Americans who have won the Peace Prize it's pretty evident that the committees going all the way back can only think in terms of lef-focused social progressivisim as being worthy of being considered for a Peace prize.

Case in point -- Mikhail Gorbachev was awarded the Nobel Peace prize in 1990 for... ""for his leading role in the peace process which today characterizes important parts of the international community..."

From what I can tell, Ronald Reagan's part in that process wasn't even remotely considered.

Obama got the prize just for being Obama. Trump is gonna have a tough time getting it.

If N. Korea actually gets rid of their nukes, Trump most certainly would deserve the prize... he would never get it though.  They would rather give the prizes to political hacks (Gore) and murdering terrorists (Arafat) than him.

Exactly. The Nobel is supposed to be given for concrete accomplishments. If you look at the award announcement you're left to wonder... what the *expletive deleted*ck are they talking about? He's not done any of that....

At the time I theorized that they were giving him the award based on their HOPE that he would: 1. Unilaterally end (surrender) the wars Afghanistan, Irag, and against terror; 2. Close the GITMO camps; 3. Turn the United States into a carbon copy of European socialist states; 4. Make it impossible for a Republican to ever again be elected in the United States; 5. Usher in an age of universal wokeness.

Then he goes to Oslo and lectures all the socialists on the concept of just war.

You could see their faces crumble. Their homes, dreams, and aspirations crushed. I really expected them to hold a floor vote and rescind the award.

Oh hell yeah. I wish I could find WJLA's poll on line, because some of the comments from the caring, compassionate, woke left are just incredibly funny.

Dana Carvey was on Conan O'Brien and mentioned that it's quite possible that President Trump could get the Nobel Piece Prize for this and the crowd went absolutely silent with a few murmurs of shock and no.

[HankB]

And Yassir Arafat got the Nobel Peace Prize for . . . um . . . uh . . . didn't he say he'd put a temporary moratorium on blowing up school children?

If N. Korea actually gets rid of their nukes,

Could announce the disposal plan is to launch them at Norway.

Given their record, though, Pakistan would be in more danger than any part of Europe.

Wouldn't it be great if they awarded it to him and he turned it down because it's prestige has been lessened by giving it to Obama?

   Then he could compare himself to Bob Dylan - the Left would love that (the ones old enough to know who he is).

$20 says they give it to Kim.

The committee would rather give it to the guy that has actual concentration camps than "Literally Hitler".

These kinds of truths are why I don't think we can afford to see the Left as merely political opposition, but as an enemy.

The media treated Gorbachev that way so much so that Rush Limbaugh called their behavior "Gorbasms".  I can easily see that happening with Kim.

Oh. I forgot the conclusion of the story, and only remembered the first act.

And Fisty hits it out of the park.

I started looking at the left not as opposition, but active enemies, in the early 1990s when there was a huge push against gun rights and for HillaryCare, all the while Bill was being accused of rape and the left was bending over backwards to explain why what he did was no big deal.

I've distanced myself from a number of former friends who have gone harder left over the years. I simply can't look at them as friends when they knowingly and willfully support those whose greatest desire is to deprive me of my rights.
