The Atlantic calls to 'end the Nobel Peace Prize' following Trump nominations (the Atlantic)
Fox News ^ | September 11 2020 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

The Atlantic magazine raised eyebrows on Friday when it published a piece calling for the abolition of the Nobel Peace Prize after President Trump was nominated for the prestigious honor.

The president's name was submitted for the 2021 prize by Norwegian lawmaker Christian Tybring-Gjedde, who cited Trump's role in brokering a peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Trump has since earned a second nomination from Swedish lawmaker Magnus Jacobsson for overseeing an economic deal between Kosovo and Serbia.

The nominations, however, apparently didn't sit well with the liberal magazine, which declared Friday that "peace had its chance, and blew it."

I have a great idea! Let’s all pretend the Atlantic magazine doesn’t exist. Erase the words from your vocabulary. It is a magazine that exists for propaganda reasons only, so let’s dump it the latrine.

Then he should say: “Because of these idiots this prize is worth nothing. I don’t want it.” Then he just throws it on the ground and walks off.

More likely he will match it with a $million from his private funds and donate the entire amount to families whose relatives have been killed by antifa/blm thugs.

Trump knows the value of money and symbolism that will drive the dims bonkers one more time.

It was in Nobel’s will. His wishes should be respected.

Even the radical leftwing New York Daily News had a good article on the nomination.

https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-trump-nobel-israel-uae-20200909-riyopgrdvvfl3fn7cweqbmhhaq-story.html

The NYDN article is one of the few that tells us that
Tybring-Gjedde said he said he doesn’t agree with all of Trump’s policies.

“I am not a big Trump supporter,” he said.

The atlantic is a pseudo-intellectual leftist rag.

It doesn’t matter that much. It has been a participation trophy since they gave it to Obama. Now it has no meaning.

The Atlantic calls for the end of professional journalism. Let’s end the farce of the Pulitzer Prize while we’re at it.

I’m still trying to figure out what is a “lickspittle posture.”


‘Lickspittle’ is a word that was much favored by Reds back in the day.

Elections can be troublesome too.

Sometimes the stupid people don’t vote right.

I was in favor of ending the Grammy Awards when Milli Vanilli won it.

The end of The Atlantic will happen before the Nobel goes.

I think that’s why a second nomination , this time for the ‘US Governments peace efforts’, was made.

That way it can be given for the Peace Process without giving it to Trump.

When Obama won the prize, I don’t remember anyone on the Right calling for abolishing it. I mainly heard conservatives say that the Nobel Peace Prize isn’t worth much these days.
