If people like Obama and Kissinger can win a Nobel Peace Prize, the prize is meaningless.
Obama got it before the drone bombings. It was more of a hope kinda thing but the hope didn’t turn out that great. And really just indirectly led us to vaguely gesture around
Obama not fighting for his Supreme Court appointment is a lot more than indirectly responsible for all of this. He abdicated his duty to execute the office and fucked us all in doing so.
Look, I’m not going to say Obama is blameless, but come on man. You’re kind of victim blaming here.
Mitch McConnell and the GOP are responsible.
Also, sure, Merrick Garland would have been better than what we ended up with, but how much better really? We all saw how Garland handled Jan 6 and Trump as AG.
of course they can, Nelson Mandela won one, and he was famous for his time in prison

Want to go take a deep breath, realign your chakras and reread OPs comment?
‘Cause I literally replied with a convicted felon (Nelson Mandela) that was awarded the Nobel peace prize
Would it be easier if I provided another example? Liu Xiaobo was in a jail cell when he was awarded the Nobel peace prize
They’re supposed to not qualify for high office either so probably these days. Asking for a friend?
In the US at least, the constitutional requirements for being elected to the presidency do not prevent felons from being elected, and there are good arguments for this. A weaponized judicial system can be used to oust or prevent political opponents from gaining the presidency.
Yeah, we’re just supposed to have an informed populace and a functioning electoral college to prevent the actual bad criminals from taking control.
