Stacey Abrams Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
2021-02-02
She must be thrilled to be on the same list as Donald Trump.
[msm] Abrams joins a long list of other nominees for this year's award including the World Health Organization, Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, former President Donald Trump, former White House adviser Jared Kushner, climate campaigner Greta Thunberg and the Black Lives Matter movement.

#18   any elected official in the EU may nominate someone.

Any national politician or higher, I seem to recall, and also eminent persons. Jared Kushner and his team were just nominated, too, by Alan Dershowitz. For some it is organized as a marketing effort — that’s probably how President-in-Waiting Barack Obama’s name got on the list, and the Peace Prize committee grabbed the opportunity to poke President George W. Bush in the eye out of sheer spite.

The Peace Prize has been a joke at least since Yasser Arafat was awarded it with Yitzhak Rabin in 1994 “for their efforts to create peace in the Middle East” by signing the Oslo Accords.

#17  Pretty much any elected official in the EU may nominate someone.

Most officials don't bother.

#16  Flatulence alert to 2nd and 3rd floor offices. Mind the windows and breaking glass.

#15  I guess to be considered for the Peace Prize you have to be on camera rioting and looting. We've come a long way from al-Gore saying Nueva York Ciudad will be under 10 feet of water.

#14  The clownification of the Nobel Prize is now complete.

#13  The prize has been an open joke since Obama got it, having said that better Abrams than Greta or BLM.

#8  The creature was big as Toledo,
Though tiny indeed its albedo.
We fled down the street
Or were crushed 'neath its feet
In the sweltering heat!
Sure, we thought we were beat...
But we lured her to space with a Frito.
That was the concept, anyway. All it took was the entire US corn reserve, output of every reactor in Russia, the last drop of Middle East oil, half a billion scheming Chinamen, and Elon's middle-sized rocket. But 'twas done, and a relieved humanity, united as never before, heads for the stars! The End.

#6  It's gonna be either BLM, Greta, or the WHO...half surprised Fauci or Gates isn't on the list....probably gonna be between BLM and WHO...numb nuts (so to speak) Greta has been pushed aside from the spotlight during this "pandemic".

#5  Surprised they missed AOC, though of course, she's a "White Hispanic", so disqualified.

#2  I'm a bit amazed at how concerned the Nobel Prize committee is just so concerned about politics in the USA.
