Nobel prize to Obama was a cause of astonishment over here. And the committee itself is now ashamed of the decision.
Nothing Nobel Peace Prize-related has shocked me since that terrorist Arafat got it. :)

The "Peace Prize" is an indication of European political trajectory. And, of course, fantasy!
No fantasy at all.
Often the Nobel committee's decisions are politically motivated. Should sound familiar to you.
As an example, years ago the award for the Nobel Prize in Literature was a bad taste joke. It passed unnoticed because few people read books and even the name of the winner is often unknown to most people.

Always the same thing, the Swedish/Norwegian lunatics.
Northerners not knowing what they are doing.
A matter of attitude.

That statement should receive an RJH award for vagueness. Which one? Rudyard Kipling?

Herta Müller.
Does the name tell you something?
Have you read the book?
Do you feel now better informed?

This race is still far from over, but that won't stop the establishment from trying to hand the nom to Hillary
Well, the article is from March 30, 2016 but we know now how it ended. The establishment did get their Billary.

The above vid sums all the 'election' circus up. At least it does it the funny way and people have a good laugh.
Making fun out of the fraud seems to be the only thing people can do about. However, in a dictatorship, you aren't allowed to do even that.

Why to put a cave man and a housewife running for presidential elections? to elect the cave man? course not, to push the population towards the housewife arms. Anything sems better than the cave man.
Everything it's already fixed, there are no elections at all and the housewife will be the next puppet.
A matter of attitude.

Yes an interesting point on election fraud and why is the other hard truth simply danced around. By that I mean the hundreds of thousands across the country who cannot vote. One news item I noted commented that many people could not properly identify themselves. Eh? How can armies of people in a country be like that? Puzzling.

This was always leading down to Hillary v. Trump. I'm not as sure as I was heading into the primaries that Hillary wins... But it's still a good bet.

Jaybro's pic reminds me of what I told my son about it all when he asked. (His mom is a Trump supporter, bless her heart.) I said if I could go post an abstention, and that matter, I would.

Anyone that checks "Trump" needs to rethink. For starters, Trump insists on calling Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas” because she has a tiny amount of Cherokee ancestry. Judge Curiel can't preside over his trial because he has Mexican heritage, according to Trump. How's someone this racist going to unit this country. How will he deal with leaders of other nations that are not white The only choice is to vote against Trump because he'll tear this country apart and make us an international pariah.

They are one step ahead of ya. Most are guilty of (re-re)thinking. lol.

I've been holding my synopsis until the nominations are final. But neither prospective candidate is detrimental to the system. Still interested to see how/if Trump swaps his game up. Hard to admit but he is either accidentally or purposefully genius in a lot of ways - but which remains to be seen. He holds the weak hand... I'll go into more details on both soon or sooner if solicited.

I've actually enjoyed watching a lot of the political types have to eat some Trump. He is exactly why what any of them say doesn't matter.

He calls her fauxcahontas (…not an original cognomen; Trump is no kind of "originalist"… :) ) because she used her (perhaps) miniscule Amerind blood to get preferential treatment among Harvard faculty…
So, for starters and as usual, you don't know what you're talking about.

Trump is inarticulate… (You, of all people, should have more sympathy… :) ) There are some good reasons for Trump to object to Curiel. But they should have been left to Trump's lawyers in the case to argue.
How "racist" is Trump? Dunno. Probably not as much as Obama.

So. I take it, you prefer Hillary? :)

The best thing that could happen to the world is to watch that Trump shit to win.
Maybe then people could realize what America is about.

Unfortunately, the Clinton woman will win. I wonder if she will follow her husband practices. Stay tuned for the next sexual episodes at the White House.
Or is it already the Black House after the last occupant?
A matter of attitude.

Highly unlikely.
I can't imagine her enjoying oral sex in the Oval Office.

He is scary, isn't he. It's been a strange election campaign, the strangest I have seen.

I never had much patience with the American preoccupation with "likeability". I don't see any reason why we should like our politicians rather than see which of them could do a reasonably acceptable job, and implement beneficial policies. Most of us won't invite them to dinner, so what kind of monsters they may or may not be in private is not of our concern.

Successful politicians are a little sociopathic, it goes with the territory, but there is a point where mental concerns carry higher weight than political ones. I think the trinity of Trump the Candidate, Trump the Persona, and Trump the Person are one and the same, and that is a greater worry than the program, which seems to be ⅓ Democratic, ⅓ Republican, and ⅓ lunacy.

I think the US political system, set in place for a situation like this, would manage, but I am curious about the cost.

I prefer much more Kim Jong-un. A natural born leader compared with such an abortion.
Americans should export him for North Korea and import the other.

Heh, goes without saying. I wouldn't be surprise if this did come down to a dick measuring contest... Just I'm still not sure he'd win though!  :yikes:
