Considering Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for being black, it is safe to assume that it is just a leftist propaganda award that has the same value as an IGN score review.

Less, even. IGN scores at the very least need to justify their lack of award, however spuriously.

Norwegian lefties are fuming about her being in opposition to Maduro and their celebrated Venezuelan socialism.

They're more angry about this than her dedicating the award to Trump.

No, he's just making them show how full of shit they are.

The guys in charge of the award are at the same level as pregnant women downing tylenol to 'own Trump'

Isn't Venezuela on fire right now? What exactly does the opposition leader offer that in any ways helps secure peach that either Trump or anyone else actually able to do something has already managed recently?

Isn't she in exile? Being opposition from far away? That's valid, but IDK if it's NPP worthy :/

Reminder that former terrorist and then PLO president Yasser Arafat won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994, and Obama won it for merely being elected President.

The Nobel peace prize has been a joke for a very long time.

They also gave it to Al Gore, the UN and the EU to. Its been a joke for a long time.

I would never expect him to win, but didn't nominations follow this one need to be in by several months back? Or was that not true?

It is true, no point whining about Trump not winning when he wasn't nominated. (and its a fake award)

Trump did get some nomination votes, it was "controversial" back in February 😄
He probably got a few votes for the award too, IDK if they ever publish the data for either, or just list the names (probably).

Yes, last I read it was Feb.4 when they closed nominations. Obama had been in office for ~14 days. The vote comes in October.

Peace Prize has always been a joke. So has the fake Nobel in economics.

The actual winners from this year:
Physics: John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis - Discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit. I'm not going to pretend I know what that means. I think it means they were able to create something at a larger (and easier to work with) scale that mimics quantum effects.

Chemistry: Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi - Work on metal-organic frameworks, structures which can absorb and contain gasses in a stable form.

Medicine: Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Dr. Shimon Sakaguchi - How regulatory T cells keep the immune system in check, with the aim of treating auto-immune disorders:

Edit: I forgot the Literature prize existed. I will continue to do so.

Literature is also a fake Nobel prize. Forgetting about it is the correct option.

Peace and literature are usually political garbage but they are Nobel Prizes: Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, and Peace.

The "Economics Prize" is literally fake. The real name is the "Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel." It was created by Sweden's central bank in 1968, 67 years after the first awards.. It is not a Nobel Prize but it is "administered by the Nobel Foundation." The prize is funded by the bank, not the Nobel Foundation like the five Nobel Prizes.

Not only is it a central bank wearing Alfred Nobel's legacy as a skinsuit. Some of his descendants are on record requesting the the Economic Prize be "differentiated" from the real Prizes. But the press goes ahead and calls it the "Nobel Prize in Economics" anyway most of the time or words it as carefully as they can to make it ambiguous: "The Nobel in Peace went to ABC and the prize in Economics went to XYZ."

Literature was the first to fall to corruption. iirc there was a female Norwegian poet who won for fucking every single Nobel member for ONE book of poetry published, in Norwegian. 🙄
