Why the fuck are we talking about a Nobel Peace Prize for a dude who has a Dept. of War nine seconds after Phase 1 of a Middle East peace deal isn't even signed yet?

Is this about peace?

Or Trump getting an award?

It is possible to simultaneously be delighted by the peace deal Trump helped broker, and still view him as a lying, crooked, fascistic felon and sex offender.

Trump is either losing his memory, lying, incompetent, or more likely all 3. In July he dispatched Todd Blanche to talk to his pedophile pal Ghislaine Maxwell and now claims he hasn't heard heard her name in "a long time". Yeah right Donny. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Trump: "I've ended seven wars. At least half of them was because of my ability at trade and because of tariffs. If I didn't have tariffs to throw around a little bit, you would have at least 4 wars waging with thousands of people a day being killed ... we're getting close to settling 8."

Why any party leader would want to turn what was once a broad church into an even narrower sect than it's already become, who knows? I've almost given up trying to understand her, tbh - except as a performance artist, maybe.

To make a very obvious point, this is the second Nigel Farage takeover of the Conservative party. Twice he has made what were once relatively niche and hard-right opinions – leaving the EU and effectively ending asylum in the UK - the default view for Tory MPs.
