You should see how they’re celebrating it on Xitter. Some are even going so far as to say he won it or it was awarded to him.
I hope you’re pointing out it’s only a participation medal.
Apparently Machado is getting nothing whatsoever out of it. Arguably less than nothing.
It seems that Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado’s ultimate show of fealty to President Trump will get her nothing.
Machado met with Trump on Thursday and brought along her Nobel Peace Prize, offering it to the president. It was clearly a last-ditch attempt to earn a larger role in any upcoming regime change effort in the wake of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s kidnapping. But Trump couldn’t care less.
“You just called Machado a ‘very nice person,’” reporters asked Trump Friday afternoon. “Why align yourself with [interim President] Delcy Rodríguez and the remnants of the Maduro regime, not with Machado, who has the support of the Venezuelan people?”
It’s like saying you own a sports car because your neighbor let you have the price sticker that came off the car.
Well, at least it puts winning an Olympic medal back into the ‘achievable’ category for most of us
Only for those of us willing to threaten Olympic medal winners with violence if they don’t give us their medals.
Loyalty, respect, it only flows one way, and he is entitled to it, he owes you nothing back. He will be angry if you don’t show it to him.
I’ve seen MAGAs posting that they think it’s stupid but it pissed off the liberals so yay Trump. For most, that’s the only thing that matters.
She did get a presidential swag bag, right? That’s…something.
Yep. I’ve been digging more into Venezuelan politics, and it’s much more complicated than various news stories had led me to believe.
This is AWESOME!
It affects the probability she, or her party, will appear on the next Venezuelan presidential election ballots.
That election is scheduled for 2030.
If the Democratic ticket wins in 2028 and takes office in 2029, I doubt it matters. But if MAGA still occupies the White House in 2030, my guess is that her chances increase a bit due to having groveled before Donald Trump..
Some might say that the Republicans will not care, or that they prefer the existing one party rule. I will agree, but her party’s chances are now so low that shaking things up a bit made sense.
No.
The big risk she took was that Trump would demand the money. He did not.
How do I know? I know because this administration leaks to the big newspapers. There has been no report of Trump asking for, or getting, the money.
About Knut Hamsun?
Sure, if true. But he was quite pro-Nazi. I cannot find any credible evidence he was trying to save anyone when he gave his Nobel medal to Goebbels. From what I read, he may have done it to get to talk to Hitler, but that doesn’t mean he necessarily wanted to get Nazi policies moderated.
After the war he was tried for treason. Did he claim it then?
What the hell is this ‘Humman Printer’ stuff about? Ya gotta sign up to read it.
Don’t make me. Please just tell us what it is. It’s early. I haven’t eaten breakfast yet…
Meet Natalie Harp:
Wow. She is one twisted person. Holy shit.
@ThelmaLou . She is basically a person that follows It around and prints out anything good she can find about him. And it sounds like she has a crush on him 
So, she’s insane.
Huh, I managed to read it without signing up.
Basically there is a Trump obsessed fan who’s job as part of his enterage is to carry around a portable printer and regularly hand him flattering things about him that she got off the internet.
yeah, thanks Buck. It wanted me to sign up. We got it though. Just another insane supporter.
