Maybe I've read dumber headlines at some point, but at this moment, I feel like shit, the world feels like shit, I still haven't had any coffee, and I had scrolled past the headlines below before even coming across this one on APs front page.

I didn't even really consciously put the absolute ridiculousness of ALL of these things happening at once together until afterwards, but I guess on some level I intuitively knew because I immediately groaned in disgust and said out loud "this is the dumbest fucking sentence I've ever had to read."

No, she could, it's hers to give. It just wouldn't mean anything to anyone but Trump. It would be like if Cillian Murphy gave me his best actor Oscar--absolutely meaningless.

And, maybe because of that, it's a good idea? This is the fucking world we live in now.

Maybe they shouldn't have given it to someone who wanted to give it to and constantly praises trump in the first place never mind her support for genocide and blatant imperial support.

Committing war crimes to get his hands on a peace price. Okaaaaaaaaay

An Olympic runner can give his/her medal away. They can't declare someone else to be the winner.

Julian Assange files complaint against Nobel Foundation over Machado prize

Remember in Trump 1.0 when he visited some wounded soldier, and hinted around for the guy's Purple Heart, and the guy gave it to him? Trump said "Ive always wanted one of these," and kept it.

They've got a warehouse full of them. They made zillions during WWII to prepare for the invasion of Japan, which never happened. They've never had to make a new one since. All he'd have to do is tell Hegseth he wanted one, and he have it on his desk in 30 minutes.

But it's more fun to lift one from a wounded soldier.

She lost the chance for being Venezuela's president the moment she accepted that nobel price. Trump never forgave her for that for sure.

You think he knows or cares what a Nobel Prize actually looks like? Get a fake medal from MedalsAreUs, spray paint it gold, put it on a really fancy ribbon and put it in a pretty box.

No one would dare point out it was fake, and even if it he realized it himself, he'd never mention it to anyone else.

She can't or isn't supposed to? Because I'm pretty sure she can. Less her arms are broken.

More of a loser than Guaidó.

Venezuelan leader? Uh, didn't she leave?

We gave it to the extreme-right fascist woman, not the extreme- right fascist man!

Machado is a traitor to her own people. I hope she gets what's coming to her.

Ah, so that's why he invaded Venezuela... it makes sense now.

If she does, can the Nobel Committee rule her prize invalid (and, therefore, Trump's?)

Nobel Peace Prize is a joke. Fuck Nobel Prizes! Let's just stop paying attention to them and focus on the Princess of Asturias Awards instead. I know it's not perfect, among its laureates you will find Google, Woody Allen, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Marina Abramović but I think so far no war criminal got it. The Princess for sure has way more integrity than the assholes from Nobel committees.

If she can give her's let's start a petition to give a few to Luigi Mangione or Maduro.

The comments here appear to confirm the Nobel committee awarded the right person: anything a Lemmy circlejerk hates is almost certainly right & good as further corroborated by telltale signs such as histrionic overreactions.
