Ehhh, Blue Jays may have something to say about that

We? Keep your ignorance to yourself OR do a little light research on this platform we are using called the internet. Machado is not who the Noble committee says she is.

Report on this?

The amount of willful ignorance is staggering around here. TDS is for real. She is fighting for democracy like the US was in Iraq.

Make that bet with me and I will take your money all day long. Machado is the face of the old Washington Consensus in Venezuela. She is a complete Trump humper.

I totally forgot Kissinger was a previous recipient of the “award”. At this point, just give it to Trump. It is a joke.

Yup. Look at the Qatar Air Force base in Idaho. I don’t understand what the strategic implications are, but they didn’t get that without handing over golden jet

I really don’t get why people are falling into this fallacy trap. Being a woman and Spanish speaking doesn’t mean you are anti-Trump. I had no idea who she was but had an inkling she was a right wing extremist given Venezuela’s political situation

Guess Trump can call in the Qatar Air Force to conduct bombing raids on Antifa now

Communist?!? He doesn’t care who the proletariat is. Kleptocrat, fck Mob boss would be more accurate

I have no idea why the Noble committee chose her. They must’ve known the obvious ties to right wing extremists in Europe. The oversight is overwhelming

I am seriously wondering if the Noble committee is complicit in the rise of authoritarianism worldwide with this choice

Welp, there you go! She trying to drum up support to overthrow Maduro. Stroke the ego of the Orange one to get your ends if you don’t have the 5.5 billion USD or so.

Mamdani: "Trump ran on 3 promises - punishment of his political enemies, easing cost of living crisis, & mass deportation. It's that second promise that brought so many to his campaign. And yet he's unable & unwilling to deliver bc he's beholden to the very billionaires that are profiting off of it"

government subsidies are handouts to corporations for sure. Like tax cuts for the oligarchs are subsidies as well. The government should claw those back as well and let them fail
