I can’t adequately express how mystified and nauseated I am by the conversation about Trump receiving a Nobel Peace Prize that corporate media is now leading. But as a journalist, attorney, historian and Trump presidential biographer I’m now obligated to make the case *against* in full.

Here it is:

Media and MAGA Calls for Trump to Catch a Nobel Peace Prize Rather Than An ICC War Crimes Indictment Are Obscene

The second-biggest threat to global peace after Putin has earned a cell for war crimes—not a humanitarian award. That his grotesque and scammy appeal for a Nobel Peace Prize is working is terrifying.

A fun thing about billionaires is that most don’t have any money.

Their wealth is based on the valuation of their companies. Which only produces cash if they sell stock.

Mostly they just get loans against how much stock they own. Getting real money from imaginary money.

Hey "MAGA" federal employees:

Many of you are furloughed because of the shutdown.

You just spent your last paycheck.

Now he's floating the idea that you won't get backpay.

You voted for this.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

Today we saw Marjorie Taylor Greene on CNN talking about the importance of covering the Obamacare subsidies. Man, we are sooooo fucking confused. How stupid is the Republican shutdown if even this dumbass gets it?!
