God it fucking burns him so bad that Obama got one and he didn't.

Obama didn't even deserve a peace prize, the guy did more drone strikes than Bush, but just for the fact that it upsets Trump so much I say they should give him another one.

My one single satisfaction that I take from Turnip is despite having everything including some otherworldly luck - he will never be satisfied or appreciate any of it. What a sad and pathetic life and the only kind of life a sad fuck like him deserves.

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Makes me wonder though if Bush wouldn't've used more drones if they were cheaper and readily available earlier in his presidency. At the time, they were still incredibly expensive and unreliable.

No one in government cares how many collateral deaths there are when drones are used, as long as it reduces the number of Americans returning home in boxes. Keeping the voters happy is always the priority.

[-] Laser@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Ha yeah for his peace efforts in the Middle East (or Near East for us Europeans) just to fuck up Trump more.

God he's so cringe "they only give them to liberals 😭" no they are

granted in accordance with the principle of "for the greatest benefit to humankind"

at which conservatives fail because they ultimately only benefit themselves.

Also I agree Obama didn't deserve them but at least he also gives at this fact himself and didn't wear it when he ordered drone strikes on wedding ceremonies while you can bet Trump would wear it on the toilet even

Republicans are so terrible that Obama was given a Nobel peace prize early into his first term just for not being a republican

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 week ago

the guy did more drone strikes than Bush

Explain why drones are any worse than any other kind of weapon. The people who get blown up are just as dead regardless.

[-] psychadlligoat@piefed.social 0 points 1 week ago

Drones remove a human being from the chain, making it easier to kill more people more often because it's less real

[-] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago

This is anecdotal, but 22 years ago I attended an event where the US Air Force proudly played a video of a Predator drone strike. I was a teenager who avidly gamed, and felt horror at what I was forced to witness because I knew these were real people who were dying agonizing deaths

To this day I still feel the same emotions when I think of it, and I can't listen to Drowning Pool's "Bodies" because that's the song they played to accompany the footage

Power hungry narcissists vs compassionate, empathetic human

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Shut up, Donald.

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 7 points 1 week ago

If the United States is not attacking Iran by next year he may be right….

Remember.

Trump is obsessed with Nobel prizes, because Obama got one.. and Trump is a small, tiny, jealous, insecure little man with an YUGE inferiority complex.

[-] Red89@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Obama made a joke at Trumps expense once and now Trump will do anything to one up him and erase Obama's accomplishments as president

[-] BadlyTimedLuck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

No matter how much spray tan he uses, he could never take away Obama's achievement of being the FIRST president of color.

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Maybe he should shoot for something more attainable for someone of his capability, like a Darwin award

[-] eRac@lemmings.world 1 points 1 week ago

Isn't he out of contention since he has already reproduced?

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

I'm willing to give him a participation trophy

[-] RedGreenBlue@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

He could try running the Russians out of Ukraine, stop Israel genociding and restarting USAID in Sudan, saving millions of lifes. There are many projects he could take on. But he is not even trying. It's difficult, i know. But if you want a medal; you need to at least participate.

[-] opus86@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

Unfortunately, they don't hand them out for being the biggest dipshit around. He would have won way more than five by now if that was the case.

[-] ModestMeme@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

They don’t have Nobel Prizes for shitting your pants.

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

And even if they did, they still wouldn't give it to him simply on principle.

[-] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Sorry Trump, even the shit-your-pants prize is for liberals only

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

My point exactly. The fact that Obama got it in the first place while killing thousands. "indirectly" but it's insane.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Delusional.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

....in the same news cycle that he is bombing Iran he's bitching like a little bitch about not having won the Nobel Peace Prize?

[-] TomMasz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

He doesn't understand how anything works. You can question his intelligence, and there's the dementia, but most of all, it's his ignorance that stands out.

His mouth looks like an asshole and it always spews shit

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

More like the vagina of an elderly cow.

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

I hope you have worked as a vet on a farm, otherwise I don't want to know how you have this knowledge.

[-] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

He should win the opposite of a Nobel Prize. Like how the razzies (which he has won a few of) are the opposite of oscars.

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago

They have the Ignoble Awards but I don’t think he qualifies for that either.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago

He should get a Darwin award.

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

Sadly, he spawned. 🤮

[-] milliams@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago
[-] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 1 points 1 week ago

You still have to put in some real work to win one of those. They don't just hand them out for whining in the media.

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I would like a Nobel Prize awarded to AOC...for sending the backers of Project 2025 to Nuremberg, a second one for a Great New Deal, a third for a Renewed Bill of Rights, a 4th for funding a Neo-NHS that implements universal healthcare, and a fifth Nobel for killing capitalism as we know it. Maybe a sixth, for destroying the Klan and dismantling existing American Police with a wholely new institution without any members from their ICE predecessors.

Henry Kissinger: famous liberal

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago

The best thing I can say about Kissinger is that he's dead.

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

The worst thing about being an atheist is knowing that he isn't rotting in Hell.

[-] yesman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

This is an opportunity. Somebody needs to tell him that pulling the leash on Israel would guarantee the prize. We could have a parade at the awards ceremony. Red carpet, real celebrities, and everything.

It would still only be the second most embarrassing Peace Prize given to a sitting president.

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

If Trump would rein Israel in and stop the Gaza genocide and the war with Iran, and would put something tangible on the table to guarantee a two-state peaceful solution (like a DMZ with UN troops), I would think that despite his everything, I'd be okay to have him get a Peace Prize.

Stupid thing is, he is really in a position that no president in the past 5 decade at least found himself in, where he could actually do that with impunity, as he doesn't need Israeli funding to get reelected, and he doesn't give a fuck about getting anyone in his party reelected either.

Of course, this would need Trump to be both brave and smart, which he is not.

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I've heard that the Nobel people were thinking about giving Trump one in two weeks ... but they are going to wait until the last second to decide.

[-] TheFogan@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

HOW MANY WARS DO I HAVE TO START TO GET A DAMN PEACE PRIZE.
