US President Donald Trump has slammed the "disgraceful" Nobel Peace Prize choice as leaving an "indelible stain" on Norway, arguing that the award should have gone to him. South African judge and human rights champion Navi Pillay won the prestigious prize yesterday in recognition of her work against war crimes and crimes against humanity.

"I peacefully ordered a bombing of a school and so I peacefully killed nearly two hundred children just to start a peaceful but senseless war that will distract people from all those kids I peacefully raped with Epstein...now give me that peace prize. I DESERVE IT!"

    "Norway" doesn't award the Nobel Peace Prize.

    It's a prize given out by a foundation.

    This is like criticizing America because someone didn't win an Oscar.

    Doesn't mean that they're told who to vote for by Parliament.

    Well if they're selected by looking at the entire US exec branch admin they're probably a bit skewed to a certain alignment.

    That said, little Donnie can go cry a fucking river, again, that he didn't get a prize for doing the exact opposite of what the prize is for.

    Isn't his Fifa peace price enough for him?

    Doesn't that imply it was a meaningless price he got?

    Fake news. Trump would never use the word "indelible" correctly.

    "So, ahem, Mr, ahem, 'president', you say it was an indelible stain to not award you this peace prize?"

    "Yep, I just couldn't stomach such yuge disrespect. It's unplateable, completely indelible!

    "Do, do you..do you think indelible means unabl..."

    "And did you know there's a b at the end of the word dumb? No one knows this. No one!!"

    Reminder that Trump has repeatedly threatened to nuke Iran.

    But the only thing he's nuked so far is the United States' global reputation. The fallout from that is going to be measured in decades if not centuries.

    I'm tempted to argue it will be permanent. The world knows Trump is just a symptom of the disease.

    Yes, but maybe things will change once the empire collapses, once the USD is no longer the reserve currency, once we're not siphoning money into the military that demands to be justified, once we've defaulted on our debts, and once the world has separated itself from all our financial and business systems....

    I think once the US ultimately ballanizes after the collapse there will be some establishing new diplomatic ties with the entities that emerge to control the countries that emerge from the rubble.

    The actual state and how it’s structured is the problem, if the three west coast states decide to form Pacifica or whatever I doubt the EU is gonna spite the new country because of the American empire. Some countries will get along with the new Republic of Texas and other will prefer trade relations with Appalachia or Rustopia(parts of the Midwest)

    I dunno how the chips are gonna fall exactly but I doubt the actual land mass and the people living there will be pariahs after the fall happens

    I don't know what situations would lead to the break up of the United States, but California is the 4th largest economy in the world and if the Federal Government was laid low enough, it could probably make a decent play for independence.

    Most of the scenarios for balkanization of the United States usually start with the complete dissolution of the Federal Government by some apocalyptic event.

    From my perspective there’s four broad scenarios that might occur.

    The first one assumes

    1. midterm elections are legitimate
    2. the democrats sweep
    3. they then immediately and aggressively use that power to start unfucking everything, prosecute the fascists, expand and stack the Supreme Court, and majorly overhaul the parts of the system that allowed Trump and his backers to gain power in the first place. If that happens I will be shocked and happy to be proven wrong.

    The second assumes the first two, but in place of 3 they continue the pattern established by the Biden admin of milquetoast appeasement and “nothing will fundamentally change”. That will just lead to more growing frustration with the democrats and disillusionment with the American system. If trumps alive in 28 he will refuse to step down and no one will stop him, if he croaks and JD takes office hes going to continue degrade the US because he’s Peter Theils puppet even more than Trump is and Theil wants the Fed to collapse so he can be a god king in a corporate city state(for more on that look into Curtis Yarvin and “the dark enlightenment”)

    The final two are much more simple and in my opinion more likely than either of the aforementioned. Assuming the elections are not legitimate and it’s a manufactured red wave there’s only two ways that goes, the American electorate decides it’s unacceptable and rises up to stop it, or we just sit back and do nothing.

    The worst and best scenarios are the only ones where I think the US stays together. A revolution would require negotiations for where things go from there and to your point California could easily go their own way and be fine, Texas might just want to even if it’s not as good a plan. And there’s also so many factions within the maga that want to carve things up for either religious, racist, or corporate/profit reasons.

    I hope I’m just a cynical pessimist but I don’t have much faith in the existence of the United States federal government without major reforms for much longer

    You'd need to motivate rich people to go along with the balkanization, and you'd have to do it before they could be arrested for "corruption" or disappeared..

    Also, to get this movement going you'd have a counter to the massive spy network that gives the feds to target and drag people out of their homes before they can cause trouble...

    I think you're more likely to see rural areas secede, because those guys are Pro-Trump (decreasignly), but also very anti-federal in their bones. Most liberal coasters, driving the economy, think a USG is pretty swell.

    Well it's permanent until the systemic core problems have been fixed. However that would take rewriting major parts of the United States Constitution. Not holding my breath for it to happen in any near decades. Unless there is revolt/civil war level event. Those usually lead to constitutional changes pretty quickly.

    Who deserves it more than Trump? He's ended the war with Iran 236 times just this year. He's going to end it again middle of next week, and at least twice the week after that. I mean, what does a guy need to do?

    The government of Norway has nothing to do with this award. What a moron.

    He really is the hero America deserves though. Stay asleep America and enjoy your midterms. The rest of the world already knows how they're going to go down, but Americans still seem to think they live in a functioning democracy.

    That's just demo-crazy, but Americans have lost the plot.

    Just give him a Nobel Prize for achievements in pants-shitting and child raping. Maybe that'll get him to shut the fuck up.

    Oh no! But he real ended some fake wars, and fake ended a real one that he started!

    I guess when you're a dirtbag overflowing everywhere with scum, everything untouched by your filth looks like a stain.

    2026 Midterm Elections
    Tuesday, November 3, 2026
    24 DAYS

    Just a reminder to vote if you are eligible to vote in the up coming US midterms; we're down a bit over three weeks. Voting by mail is, I think, already active in all states.

    Obama got a peace prize for indiscriminate bombing of foreign countries. Why shouldn't Trump?
