This is just true

Really hard to believe someone who renamed the dept of defence to the dept of war failed to win a peace prize. Who could have seen this coming?

Totally ate that onion

Plot twist, there is no onion to eat. They've had to resort to facts because you straight up cannot get more comical or ironic than reality anymore.

I wouldn't say current reality is comical . . .

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

The extremity is comical, other than that, no this shit is not fun nor funny

And Canada. Also Panama. Maybe some Venezuela.

Don't forget canada

Don't forget changing the name of the Dept of DEFENSE to the Dept of WAR doesn't exactly send a unified message of Peace either.

Intimidating the entire planet into obedience because they are afraid that America will literally destroy their country, or even the world, is NOT Peace.

Seriously, the naked stupidity of these people is truly astounding.

I agree. Don't you ever forget what he did, Canada. And don't you ever forget all the people who supported and enabled him either.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they bombed the Nobel Peace Prize committee.

He'll call on his followers to storm the Nobel HQ:
