Maria Corina Machado wins Nobel Peace Prize!!!

[OhCobblers]

Brilliant!!!

He’s going to be so cross!

Let’s hope it’s not bloody Trump next time

Poor ol Trumpy… 🫢🤣

I love their statement.

Machado has been a key unifying figure, the committee chairman adds.

"This is precisely what lies at the heart of democracy, our shared willingness to defend the principles of popular rule, even though we disagree.

"At a time when democracy is under threat, it is more important than ever to defend this common ground."

That it also went to a woman!!!

Too early for Trump, fingers crossed it's not him next time.

He will just invent his own award and it’s better anyway and and and false news anyway so there. Who needs a Swedish award let’s makes an American one. So there and again false news

So much of what the Chairman is saying couldn’t possibly apply to Trump at any time!

The accompanying message has an underlying one for Trump too.
"for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy"

That said, if he managed to actual bulldoze Israel into a sustainable agreement on proper nationhood for Palestine [and stopped actively undermining his own democracy] I'd support his winning it next year. I'd be amazed though.

Trump was never going to get it this year

My first thought when the headline came up on my phone was that Trump’s going to be so pissed off that he didn’t win and even more pissed off that a woman won!!!

This.

I am a little bit disappointed

Very childish thread

How so!

If Trump wants to win the Nobel Peace Prize then he really needs to wait 5-10 years to see if he has brokered a lasting peace in that area of the Middle East.

Great that a (Biological) woman got this. And her values and struggles for democracy are highlighted so well.

I don't care if T gets it next time or not. If peace holds in Gaza it'll be worth it. He was not going to get it this time around anyway.

I think he’s going to be ‘flaky’ on the West Bank settlements (to put it mildly), especially if he listens to Jared.

I can imagine the Nobel Committee keeping a close eye on that.

Congratulations to this year’s winner.
