Cont: The Trump Presidency: Part 25

[Ryokan]

Yes, but he is not a cabinet member or minister. This criteria specifically rules out parliamentary members who are not part of the ruling cabal, whatever form that takes. Otherwise you would be getting literally hundreds of thousands of nominations every year from the many hundred governing bodies around the world.

No.

When they say Members of national assemblies and national governments, they mean either and not that you have to be both. In Norway, and I assume many other countries, you can't be both.

It would also exclude USA, as you can't both be a member of Congress/Senate and be a member of the president's cabinet.

And they do get lots of nominations. So far this year, they have 318.

Tucker Carlson reportedly blamed Lindsey Graham for persuading Trump to talk to Woodward. Right, so...

1) They're not going to blame Donald Trump for being a blabbing idiot. The blame goes to an informal advisor.

2) They're giving Trump a pass for his lies to the public.

Even though this is not at all surprising, it's still infuriating.

Not how it reads. But I will accept your explanation.

And I'm surprised, but paradoxically not surprised at the same time, that no Republican US congressperson or senator thought to nominate Donny for a Nobel. It had to be a right-wing Norwegian politician and sycophant.

... And done long, long past the nominate by date?

That's the problem, all the Democrats have is "Orange man bad".

Oh wait, wrong party, my bad.

Yellow man bad?

My understanding is that the DoD doesn't have enough priests in their ranks. They are paid by Dod and provide "priestly services" to service members. I believe the article I read talked to the priest servicing North Island/San Diego.

As a cost-saving measure, the Navy was planning to cancel a $250,000 contract for civilian Catholic priests to perform Mass at three specific Naval bases that didn't have available Chaplains.

I'm sure Lincoln Project will have some interesting ads coming from this.

It's only on Twitter, so far.

Trump knew it was worse than the flu.
Trump knew coronavirus was deadly.
#TrumpKnew and he did nothing.


Alternating the recordings and his public statements saying the exact opposite.

It's perfectly OK, he was only trying to avoid panic

However, Trump has defended his position, saying on Wednesday: "I don't want people to be frightened, I don't want to create panic... certainly I'm not going to drive this country or the world into a frenzy."

Which woulf be great, had he tried to mitigate the problems, or the disease itself, and if he hadn't centered his reelection campaign on racist fear-mongering.

As it stands now, he not only failed entirely to stop anxiety over the virus, he only made everything worse by abdicating, lying, and so forth.

He's not expecting to get it.
It just looks good for his supporters that he has been nominated for the prize by Norway!

For years Fake stories and investigations, then the phony Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX, next Ukraine and the failed Impeachment, now the crummy Atlantic Magazine’s MADE UP STORY, and lastly, the political hit job by rapidly fading Bob Woodward and his boring book. It never ends!

Even though my workload obviously isn't as heavy as that of a president, I still won't sit for 18 interviews with a rapidly fading journalist who already wrote a boring hit piece about me.

Multi-dimensional chess, no doubt about it.

Wouldn't it have been great if he'd been nominated by someone from one of those **** hole countries?

The below from a letter Trump wrote to Lunchbox in North Korea.

Even now I cannot forget that moment of history when I firmly held Your Excellency's hand at the beautiful and sacred location as the whole world watched with great interest and hope to relive the honor of that day

All I can say is, hey fun boys, get a room.

Bob Woodward had my quotes for many months. If he thought they were so bad or dangerous, why didn’t he immediately report them in an effort to save lives? Didn’t he have an obligation to do so? No, because he knew they were good and proper answers. Calm, no panic!

New Mexico will only be GREAT with President Trump. We will win!

No, Vindman knew the call itself to the Ukrainian President was “perfect”, but also knew the whistleblower report described the call incorrectly, way off. Why didn’t Vindman say so? That’s why Shifty didn’t want the whistleblower to testify. A big scam!

A lot of you have criticized Vindman's actions in Ukraine matter. That's fair. Many Hill Republicans saw him as starting the whole saga over a policy disagreement. But Vindman was also a decorated military officer. A big dilemma for GOP. From OBSESSION: https://amazon.com/Obsession-Inside...ds=byron+york+obsession&qid=1599589216&sr=8-1
