      I mean Machado got the prize for her advocacy for war, so it’s more of a war prize to begin with. The Nobel peace prize has been a joke for a long time. Norwegian must have drifted too far away from Swedish so they can’t understand Nobels will anymore.

      You got that all wrong. He ended the US-Venezuela war! I’m sure he’ll end the US-Greenland war next!

      He’s been saying this the whole time! You know, if you ignore the whole war thing externally and the ICE terrorism internally. 100% peaceful. He IS peace. Well he’s definitely A piece.

      Of course. “Peace through strength.” It only works when you force it on people. I’m sure I’ve heard that somewhere.

      Not quite. He started a war to kidnap the dude who made fun of his stupid dancing.

      Machado is trading the peace prize for presidency.

      Just sort of a lucky coincidence or something. Or the universe hates everyone.

      God knows what he thinks people will give him for invading Greenland.

      I suppose the rate at which nobel peace prize winners start wars is probably quite a bit higher the rate at which non-nobel-peace-prize-winners start wars, if only because that prize has been given to a few heads of state that have gone on to do that, while most people simply don’t realistically have the capacity to start one if they wanted to.

    He still won’t be a Nobel Peace Prize winner…

    He’ll just be some guy a Nobel Peace Prize winner donated her trophy to so she could be chosen as the next leader of Venezuela by the US.

      He is demented, very far gone. His handlers enjoy that the peoples focus is somewhere else while they rig the system to collect the next 100 billion dollars.

    This should definitely happen. The history books will never be erased and it’ll be the highlight of his pettiness.

    “Machado, fearing for her country and her life, appeased the notorious child molester by sharing her Nobel Peace Prize under duress. It did not help. Using ICE, he murdered more US citizens and attacked several other countries before dying on live television from a heart attack.”

        I think the 21% of the functionally illiterate American adults are mostly in his base, so I’d think they don’t know much of anything.

            Oh, without question. They seem fairly apt at parroting back those stories, too. This doesn’t really require literacy OR logic, as you know.

            It’s why you’ll see some of the same people claim two things that not only have zero evidence for the claim in isolation, but make zero sense when taken together, such as:

            1. The J6 terrorists were actually “the deep state” and/or “antifa” and/or BLM, AND
            2. The J6 terrorists are actually political prisoners and Taco was right in pardoning all of these terrorists.

            Both of those stories have been told to them by Bullshit Mountain, they didn’t craft these stupid narratives themselves.

    In the upside down you get a peace prize for terrorizing and murdering your own citizens, threatening to invade your allies, and invading other non-aggressive countries.
