You’ve obviously not seen this sort of sarcasm before…

It’s kind of amazing that sensible yanks are trying desperately to come up with ways to protect themselves from their President and his regime.

Like everyone, I’m incredibly surprised that the fascists, call for the Anti-Fascists to be labeled ‘Terrorists’.

So, for simplicity’s sake here’s where we are in Israel/Gaza.

The Israelis have reduced Gaza to rubble, after an entirely disproportionate revenge for a terrorist attack on Israel.

We have ‘Peace’ now. Trump and Netanyahu said so. All the brutalised can return to their rubble, and be peaceful.

FFS!

Trump says the Nobel Prize winner accepted the award in his honour!! Apparently, she’d have handed it over to him, if he’d asked. COME ON NOW! Get this utter cunt into a mental institution!

‘Trump’s special envoy, Richard Grenell – who has been leading economic negotiations with Nicolás Maduro’s administration – also voiced dissatisfaction, tweeting: “The Nobel Prize died years ago.”

So, why was he so pathetically desperate to win it then? 😂

Sandles @auldnme.bsky.social · 2d

Trumps daughter in law insults the integrity of the Nobel Committee, but is confident he’ll get a Nobel prize in the future….😂

“But we know these people who establish who wins the Nobel peace prize hate Donald Trump – they suffer from ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’.”

I think the key factor, limiting Trump’s chances of a Nobel Peace Prize, is that it’s hard to imagine an international public figure less worthy of the award, in most people’s living memory.

Yes, much the same way, he’s tarnished….Well, everything. Thankfully the Nobel committee have significantly more gravitas than the American political system.

There is literally no justice left in the world if he does.

President Butthurt is going to have the mother of all tantrums when he doesn’t get the peace prize, which he 💯% isn’t going to..

I’m more cynical. Every single thing Trump touches turns to shit. This will invariably go bad somewhere along the way.

I watched a thing about some ex IDF soldiers stating they literally train for nothing other than fence incursions. If a dog pissed on the fence, they’d know about it. It was inconceivable to them that Hamas could approach and breach the fence on such scale unless nobody was watching, on purpose.

Mind fuck time? Who stood to gain the most from Hamas attack on Israel, Oct 7th? Putin, using Iranian proxies to distract from Ukraine? Netanyahu, to have an excuse to genocide Palestinians? USA, to supply arms to support Israelis genocide of Palestinians? Either way, it was orchestrated.

To avoid any confusion. In the unlikely event there is any sort of ‘peace’ in the ruins of Gaza. Given the Israeli’s have proven hundreds of times, by breaching UN resolutions, hundreds of times since the foundation of their Ethno-religious nation state. I still want Trump to rot in prison.
