"Trump nominated for Nobel Peace Prize by Norwegian official, citing Israel-UAE peace deal."

#####

As he should be.

Yawn....

Before he actually receives the award,  he'll have to identify both places on a map.

I'm pretty sure UAE and Israel never were at war or fought against each other.  So peace deal is a misnomer, they established diplomatic relations.  In and of itself it's not much, but as a potential signal that more Arab countries will shaft the Palestinians and buddy up to the Israelis, and not incidentally help Netanyahu stay in power, it is significant.  Talk is tiny Bahrain and adrift Oman might be next up.  At least this deal didn't cost the US billions of dollars.  And this could provide a minor boost to the Israel economy.

Countries will conduct business with each other, more to the point.

What is the context here?   The sound is poor quality,  and a viewer has no idea what precipitated the confrontation with the manager.   No competent journalist would run a story on a couple minutes of video without some context.  Could  this be why only partisan hacks dumped this on social media?   "Look,  angry black people!  Scary! "

Since he's spamming the forum with links with no context the best thing I can think of doing is just to scroll past those posts. But that's just me.

That's what I do most of the time,  and I had him on Ignore for several months.   Once in a while, I click on one and reply,  just to see if he can make some baby step in the direction of actual discourse.   Or if it's a springboard for me to comment about  a general problem I see with social media.   My few replies to KC are probably more in the latter category.   Your response is quite sensible,  given the low probability he would ever notice he lives in an information silo.

Really the political dimensions, for Israel and Netanyahu, trump the economic aspects.  Though yes it is a diplomatic and economic deal.

I don't follow anyone's blind links.

The Norwegian official is the same far right xenophobic anti-Islamic politician that nominated him two years ago for providing NK with an unconditioned publicity win in meeting with a US president.

Unclear how much we are gaining or losing on the UAW F-35 deal. Also unclear if the F-35 deal with kill the "peace" deal.

Woodward says that Trump knew about the coronavirus, both how dangerous it was and that it impacted folks other than the elderly.

As of February 7th, he admitted to intentionally understating the risk and kept doing it.

So much for blaming the Chinese for understating the risk...

And Woodward says he has tapes.

They also cover things like racial unrest. Ought to be fascinating.

This is about the rise of white nationalism in our schools.

Everybody here except Ward, Kid, and Bambi will want to read this. Ward will LOL, Kid will deny, and Bambi will make some sort of mealy-mouthed response.

Just an FYI

If you need to vent, try another method

Do you believe that the white supremacy movement is an increasing threat within our schools?

Did you look at the tool kit?

In the unlikely event that you did so, do you agree with what it has to say?

So... he has that in common with your Twitter spamming!

Barr enlists DOJ to cover up Rape.
Trump tells his followers to intimidate voters at polling places.
And he is on tape saying he knew the danger COVID19 posed to the lives of Americans, but he lied about it.

Just another day for our "president."
