Send us a message!Today we hear from Kaylee from Newark, New Jersey writes: Well, Trump finally got his Nobel Peace Prize.  Unearned, of course, and the Nobel Committee has clearly stated that, regardless of the actual winner, Machado, giving him the prize, he will not be credited with the win.  I saw pictures of him taking the prize, and I must say I was so embarrassed. He looks pathetic, and the world must be laughing their assess off. I’m surprised he didn’t use his infamous Sharpie to write his name on it. As Dr. Scott has said, this peace prize is worth less than the paper it’s printed on. Although I have not heard any commentary from the right even addressing this “event”. Do you think they are as embarrassed as the sane people are? If the peace prize is a bargaining chip, should it be abolished altogether?  Kate from Norman, Oklahoma writes: I read a disturbing article in CCN that reported that Trump told the Prime Minister of Norway that since he didn’t win the peace prize, he is no longer bound to “consider peace”. He even suggested that not winning the peace prize was the reason why he is taking a hard line on Greenland. Now I know all of this is crazy talk from a mentally disturbed and incompetent person, yet, looking past the Greenland issue, does this statement about not being obligated to peace have further-reaching possibilities? Iran, Greenland, other places in the world? LOTL: Queer ConversationWe all crave Queer Conversations.
