Including past Nobel winners. Like María Corina Machado, who already gave her Nobel prize to Trump. Don't think a nomination of Trump isn't already in the works.

Here's a list of those eligible to make nominations:

* Members of national assemblies and national governments (cabinet members/ministers) of sovereign states as well as current heads of state
* Members of The International Court of Justice in The Hague and The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague
* Members of l'Institut de Droit International
* Members of the International Board of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom
* University professors, professors emeriti and associate professors of history, social sciences, law, philosophy, theology, and religion; university rectors and university directors (or their equivalents); directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes
* Persons who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
* Members of the main board of directors or its equivalent of organizations that have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
* Current and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee (proposals by current members of the Committee to be submitted no later than at the first meeting of the Committee after 1 February)
* Former advisers to the Norwegian Nobel Committee

He does all his posting on his phone, so he'll probably have to replace the whole damned thing!

I actually have a mental image of boxes of replacement iPhones being stored at Mar-a-Lago and at the White House, so there's always a replacement handy when he smashes one throwing it against at the wall in a rage!

before I ever had a basic cellphone, let alone a smart phone; that's what naturally came to mind.

That's funny. The idea of "boxes of replacement phones"!

despite the absolute necessity of that war being fought.

What I really want to see is for his country to be freed from the hordes and finally begin putting itself back together.

I've never in my life seen any people fight so hard for their freedom, independence, and national survival.

Anyone can pretty much nominate anyone they want to, similar to the MacArthur Foundation Leadership Awards. The committee that goes through all the nominees deserves an award. As does Zelensky. Having won a MacArthur I have some say in nominating people that will actually be considered. The Nobels don’t care what anyone says or how much influence they believe they should exert. But Trump will never get one. Of that I am absolutely certain.

My lock screen is a clip from the parody, titled “Djuice Style”, performed by him with the cast of the comedy group Kvartal95. It was an advertisement for the Ukrainian mobile company Djuice almost 15 years ago. He even wears the same suit as the original Gangnam Style.




In my dreams, he's dancing. I want him and Ukraine to live in a free and happy world.

No one on the planet deserves a peace prize more than my president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Guess who's been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize?

I get frustrated with Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert when they do things like jump on the "Ha, ha, Biden is old!" train, but I know that either one of them would have done a million times better job than Trump had they somehow ended up as president. Hell, a 35-year-old ham sandwich would do a better job than Trump.
