Nobody under the age of 70 gives a shit.

But I guess pharmaceutical product advertisers will be thrilled?

If Trump gets the NPP, it will say a lot more about how corrupted that process has become than it would say about Trump.

The only way he gets it is through threats, bribery, or kompromat.

Yep....this nails it. He ain't getting the prize.

Donald Trump is ordering extrajudicial killings of suspected drug smugglers.

He's vilifying his political opponents and threatening to jail them.

His ICE agents are terrorizing immigrants and firing chemical agents at peaceful protestors.

And some people think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?

I'd suspect that the folks awarding the prizes will agree.

I mean, maybe he'll get it, but that wouldn't glorify Trump as much as it would just enshittify the reputation of the prize.

As a huge fan of The Coup, I've often wondered why more folks don't seem to be familiar with their body of work.

The "deal" where he instructs the military to blow up boats, killing people?

Yeah, the Nobel folks gotta love that.

Stay strong, Democratic legislators!

Not just no, but HELL NO on this.

vuduchyld @vuduchyld.bsky.social · 15h

To be fair, the GOP has been saying for decades that they want to strangle the government in a bathtub. ALL programs are Democratic programs, really.

Hopefully no Dem legislator falls for this threat. Let the American people see and feel the cruelty of this administration.

I should probably attribute that notion of voting against one's economic self-interest to Thomas Frank, who wrote about it in What's the Matter With Kansas in 2004.

Only 2% of Republicans earn more than $250,000 per year?

The GOP is amazingly effective at getting people to vote against their own economic self-interest.
