Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Hahahahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha!!!
Neither of these two assholes deserve to be any part of this.
The Nobel committee should maybe not accept nominations from an accused ICC war criminal
Hell no, Netanyaho clearly deserves a nobel peace prize.
He will have to go Sweden to get it. then drop a cartoonish cage on him just before he takes it.
The Nobel committee should maybe not accept nominations from a~~n accused ICC~~ war criminal
Yeah, of course he's guilty. I'm saying the accusation should be enough and they shouldn't have to wait for him to be convicted. But either way they should establish a policy around it.
If they do and Trump gets it, we know how far the far right has compromised Europe. It's a coup in slow motion so it's good to know at which point we are right now.
I friend of mine is a Nobel Prize nominee. It's not hard: all it takes is someone with vaguely convincing creds to write a letter to nominate you.
In his case, he asked a University teacher friend of his to write the letter. And just like that, he was nominated. He'd been putting "Nobel Prize nominee" on his resume to impress potential employers for decades.
Netanyahu's credentials should automatically disqualify him from being able to nominate anyone.
He's a head of state. That automatically qualifies him to nominate people.
Of course, the Nobel committee is also perfectly free to say "This nomination of a fucking fascist by a fucking genocidal maniac...Should we do a Kissinger again or shall we just close the file and go have a beer instead?"
Should we do a Kissinger again
?
Never forget that Kissinger got the 1973 peace prize...
Obama got it in 2009, shortly after him starting his first term, not for anything he had done but to try and "strengthen" him.
The peace prize is a joke.
Daniella Weiss is a nominee for 2025
Netanyahu: "He deserves a peace prize because he loves a good genocide like I do! He's not some pussy like Biden who enables it but pretends he doesn't like it!"
Pakistan's Field Marshall: well shit
