It isn't. I never thought it was

Actually, she has dubious 'peace' credentials anyway, given her associations with Likud and far right European leaders, but there's nothing to be done about it.

Nope, per Nobel charter. And is it *really* 'looking like a possbility' or do people just wish it was?

Doubt he'd ever truly have the curiosity to ask

Not sure that he actually *let* him do it. Baby Goebbeks has a certain reptilian power, the power of pure unrepentant evil. And Trump seems to be increasingly weak and malleable.

Yep.
And she seems to understand the harm that the shutdown is doing.

Over on Twitter today, she's ranting about Antifa and J6, so.....

Debbie Hemenway @debbiehemenway.bsky.social · 16h

Doubt it. She was ranting about Antifa and J6 on Twitter today

Hate to break it to you, but this has been common knowledge for years.

Baby Goebbels
Too unattractive in every sense of the word to fulfill his hateful wishes and fantasies on his own, so he hides in the shadows and pulls the demented king's strings
Wonder what it is about him that keeps all the other ghouls and sychophants from calling him out.

Alternative facts
It's a MAGA thing

I guess if you want to send them into American cities you better pay them.

So tell me again why he doesn't deserve the Nobel Peace Prize

Debbie Hemenway @debbiehemenway.bsky.social · 22h

I'm in a small town and don't even expect the local MAGA to even show up, btw

It is concerning for sure, particularly in big cities, which are already feeling like tinderboxes
It's exactly what Trump/Baby Goebbels Miller *want*.

Same thing. Just slower.

I just had a local tell me in response to my Facebook post on a community page telling people about next Saturday's local gathering that antifa better not show up. 'You know they're killing people don't you?' Dude wasn't even worth responding to but it is worrisome

Blocking is always a good way to handle disagreements. 😄

You can be certain that I am not defending these people. If you have seen anything else I have ever posted you ought to know that. But I am defending truth and accuracy. Exaggeration and condemnation-by-suppositon are *their* tactics.

Debbie Hemenway @debbiehemenway.bsky.social · 1d

The only thing he left out is the part where Trump clearly does not understand what a Peace Prize is and that blowing up boats full of fisherman, imprisoning children in your own country and destroying foreign aid food and supplies are NOT 'peaceful.'

Shunning and exclusion won't work either, y'know. Right now we need all the allies we can get.

I'm not a fan of imperial/triumphalist building projects altogether when there is so much that *needs* to be built.

Debbie Hemenway @debbiehemenway.bsky.social · 1d

One could, but it would still be an assumption and assumptions get folks in a lot of trouble. We are living in a time when too much is unproven but put forward as fact and truth.
