MAGAts losing their shit over Convicted Felon Donald Trump not get the Nobel Peace Prize. He wasn’t even eligible, as the nominee deadline was January 31, 2025.

It's. A. Cult.

Good song. Pretty blunt at the end

One of the BEST protest songs and it’s coming from Chicago.

I want to hear this at every rally,
every protest,
blasting from cars on the streets,
from cozy home open windows carried by the crisp autumn breeze, from drunken choruses at open air bars,
& friends walking home!

Thanks for taking the time to chat with me. We are now on Day 11 of the Shutdown, the House is out again next week, and there is no end in sight. Dems are holding the line.

It’s heartbreaking that the richest country in the world needs food banks to feed its people but it’s unbelievable that our billionaire politicians have forced our military to feed themselves and their families from food banks.

I've said this before, but Trump was only willing to help Ukraine because he was feeling dumped by Putin and had breakup anger. But now that Putin is saying "we could still be together, you know" Trump is going to be back to his old ways. He will always love Putin more than anyone.

Phillips OBrien @phillipspobrien.bsky.social · 8h

Well, guess what? Yesterday Putin batted his eyelashes at Trump (and Melania) and the first couple were grateful for the love and attention. People need to accept the reality that Trump will always crave Putin's affections and cares not a whit for Ukraine. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

Folks….no fanatics please !! Just had a visit from a rabid fanatic on a rather peaceful post about integrity. I let them go for a bit…they continued being rude and ignored my profile..so..I first spoke to them…they got worse…I then unfollowed them..and finally blocked them.

Not only did Trump lose, he lost to a (very deserving) Spanish-speaking WOMAN. Gifted article about his shameless campaign:

The 11th-Hour Campaign to Land Trump a Nobel Peace Prize

A bid was mounted to persuade the Nobel committee to make Trump the fifth American president to receive the honor.

Vance is back in Indiana today, personally pressuring GOP lawmakers to ignore their conscience and enact an extreme gerrymandering plan. The fact that they have to send in the VP tells us something important and encouraging: political pressure against this plan is working, even in deep red places.

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

BREAKING: Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has won the Nobel Peace Prize, winning recognition as a woman “who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness.”

She was lauded for being a “key, unifying figure" in the once deeply divided opposition to the Maduro regime.

Hate the guy, he’s a moron and ill-equipped to run anything, but a strive for youth is not feminine. Ego is an omni-gender thing; lots of men use fillers and botox to retain youthful appearance.
