this really is all just about resentment over obama being given the prize

BARTIROMO: On your point about the Nobel Peace Prize, do you think maybe the reason Trump won't get it is because you had to get the application in before Jan. 31, and that was only 11 days into his term?

SCALISE: Look, they can play technicalities. They gave it to Obama for just getting elected.

Weird that a campaign of murdering Venezuelan fishermen didn't win him the Nobel.

There's a Marquette fan with a small account on the other site that posted Marquette won easily and then I saw Matt H. may or may not have subtly suggested Mizzou won

It’s easy to make fun of, but watching the president of the United States ask Andy Ngo and Jack Posibiec who the bad guys are so that they can be prosecuted for domestic terrorism is truly fucking terrifying. We have fallen a long way already.

Trump: "I also did a cognitive exam. Which is always very risky because if I didn't do well, you'd be the first to be blaring it and I had a perfect score. And one of the doctors said he's almost never seen a perfect score. I had a perfect score. That made me well good ... not the easiest test."

Every time Trump says this someone points out the test he has to do, and this time it's my turn. It's pretty weird he keeps talking about passing it, right?
