The award to Henry Kissinger in 1973 was so controversial and ultimately so embarrassing for the Nobel Committee that it's unlikely they'll make a similar mistake again. It was awarded jointly to Kissinger and Lê Đức Thọ for "having negotiated a cease fire in Vietnam in 1973." Thọ declined the prize, and Kissinger later tried to return it, but the committee declined his offer. "In Norway, the Nobel Committee was subject to widespread criticism, with the Norwegian Arbeiderbladet newspaper calling the award a "bad joke" and stating, "The Norwegian Nobel Committee has disgraced itself". In a joint letter to the Norwegian Parliament, multiple Harvard professors wrote that awarding Kissinger and Thọ was "more than a person with a normal sense of justice can take". For only the second time in history, Norwegian Nobel Committee members resigned as a result of the decision." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_Nobel_Peace_Prize

Awarding the prize to Trump would be exponentially worse, and I'm sure the committee knows it.

It is too absurd and sickening to even describe.

I torture myself, because I don't want to take my eyes off what they are up to next.

Need some Pepto.

That all he asked of Netanyahu was a cease fire until after the NPP was awarded. Then trump will turn a blind eye to the total destruction of Gaza.

trump hasn't worked this hard in decades...

meet with netanyahu
joint presser
meet with Dems over budget.

It's quite likely that they've already decided. I don't know who it will be but I do know who it won't be.
