He's a (Very Good) Friend Of Epstein (Oh, Yes He Is) - Trump Thread #149

Taking paracetamol doesn’t give you autistic babies but voting for Trump definitely gives you a festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul— all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair.

Yes, same here.

Cautious optimism. And if I believed in a god I'd be sending up fervent prayers.

Please please please may this be real and durable.

It has to last long enough for someone to make money from it.

I agree with that completely. But history tells us it's more likely to be smoke and mirrors ending with a tacky hotel and casino and enrichment for the orange friends and family. I'm definitely taking a wait and see approach on this one.

There will be dollars to made somewhere along the line.
Hey fancy an Ai resort in a land drenched in blood and suffering.

If he gets the Nobel Peace Prize tomorrow then it becomes utterly worthless. By all means give it to him next year once we've had a chance to see if the Gaza deal holds, but to give him the prize for something that hasn't even been signed, let alone given a chance to be implemented yet, makes a mockery of the whole thing.

I was thinking the same.

If peace is a real thing in a year's time, anyone involved could rightfully be nominated for the Nobel.

But so far this is a ceasefire agreement, not a full peace deal. We have to be optimistic it will happen, but the peace deal details are yet to be hammered out.

How many people would return theirs ?

I agree but isn't it a sad indictment of the world we live in.

My bet, The Gazans are accused of breaking it first, but that Israel actually do.

Why call it a war, it was a bit one sided?

In the interests of accuracy, I've just looked into that story about a Charlie Kirk fan running over and killing two girls. It's not clear that it is related to Charlie Kirk.

The accused had allegedly been stalking and threatening one of the girls for months, and bragging about how he'd distributed revenge nudes of another girl.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/nyregion/hit-and-run-deaths-girls-new-jersey.html

Whether or not he was a fan of Charlie Kirk, he seems like an all round nasty.

Maria Niotis, and a friend, Isabella Salas, were killed riding their bikes in Cranford, N.J., this week when an S.U.V. crashed into them. The driver has been charged with murder, officials said.

2 Teen Girls Died In a Hit-And-Run. Another Teen Faces Murder Charges.

The 17-year-old friends in a small New Jersey town were killed on their way to get ice cream. Prosecutors said the crash was intentional.

It's a good job he doesn't know about gold Blue Peter badges. We'd never hear the the end of it.

Evenstar · 09/10/2025 22:23

Thank you @PerkingFaintly what a horrible story, and certainly shows how that young man regarded women 😔

Sadly true!

Zonder · 10/10/2025 07:20

I can't believe he is even in the running. Even apart from the made up wars he brought to an end, surely we need to see what happens with Israel - Palestine before anyone even thinks of calling it peace?

The poor Norwegians acknowledging what a loose cannon Trump is:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/09/norway-braces-for-trumps-reaction-if-he-does-not-win-nobel-peace-prize
(I was only joking when I mentioned the other day he’d probably declare war on Norway if he didn’t get the Peace Prize, honest, guv.)

If they do award it to him, they never need cast another one. They can use all the ones that get returned.

And I wonder how many potential future recipients might turn one down saying "No thanks. I'm good for awards given to fascists right now".

I’m watching the BBC website from behind my hands. Either way he’s going to be insufferable.

CaveMum · 10/10/2025 10:02

Ha ha ha ha! It’s been awarded to a woman from Venezuela! He’ll hate that on every level!!!!
