      What the actual fuck are you even talking about?

        Machado was asking for a regime change before she received the prize. So either the commitee was sloppy or they gave her the prize for that. Now if Trump fulfills her request, how much more worthy is he of a peace prize?

          Alright…

          This is the point I give up on you ever being able to understand this.

          I’m gonna go do something that has a chance of being productive, like teaching my dog how to do a one dog performance of The Nutty Proffesor, there’s a slight chance he pulls it off.
