Everyone said we were nuts when we said we didn’t trust that our pensions were necessarily that secure. What if a bunch of lunatics take over the government? They all thought that idea was crazy too.

Nothing has happened so far, except for cutting the COL increase. But they have taken our insurance out of the federal pool, and MAGA wants to privatize the post office.

So now Michelle and I wonder if our fears will come true. No loyalty, no pension. Or maybe we don’t deserve any kind of pension or health care at all.

It doesn’t sound so crazy any more.
You need pensioners to be out in the fields picking vegetable's once you've deported all the migrants so I would expect you wont see ####, it's a feature not a bug

Unfortunately, I think he does get the award. He wouldn't be the first person of questionable character to win it and there still seems to be a lot of people trying to placate him. He'll probably do something completely unhinged if he doesn't get it.

Trump loses in court today over National Guard in Chicago. Over under on hours until he activates the Insurrection Act?

When has "losing in court" mattered?

He'd be in jail if that mattered.

It's always fun watching Trump have one of his childish meltdowns every time he loses in court. Unfortunately it doesn't matter what the lower courts say. This will no doubt get kicked up to the Supreme Court who will of course rule that he can do whatever the f*** he wants with zero consequences.

But I thought he was the peace President? He stopped 8 or 10 imaginary wars, and wiped out anti fascism across America. I think he should sue.

Trump was lobbying hard for the Peace Prize. I'm looking forward to his butt-hurt comments on this.

Reporter: Why didn’t Trump win the Nobel Peace Prize?

Nobel committee chair: We only give the award to people of courage and integrity.

Just the fact that taco tits is mentioned in the same sentance as the Nobel Peace Prize is nauseating. Looking forward to 2026, no way that orange pig makes it out alive.

It's quite funny that they gace it to a woman who has worked to try and topple tyranny in her own country (versus Trump who sends soldiers against his own citizens).

Transcript of an interview with Pritzker

https://newrepublic.com/article/2016...bshell-warning

Sargent:#Well, Governor, the president has called for your arrest. I just want to ask you this pretty bluntly. Do you expect to be arrested soon?

Governor Pritzker:#I do not expect to be arrested. And the President of the United States says a lot of crazy things. I genuinely think there is something wrong with him. I wish that his family would intervene, because I do think he needs mental health help. And I don’t think anybody around him that works for him is going to do that, because they’re benefiting from his failure of mental health, his dementia. I wish somebody would help out the President of the United States.

He's now had Leticia James charged. Her offence, as far as I can make out, is helping her niece get a starter home. Her true offence of course is prosecuting Trump for actual crimes.

So the poster has deleted the post as he got called out for somewhat misrepresenting what the actual Q was and the answer. It was more about the lobbying trump did for the award and the answer more along the lines of how they arent swayed by things like that and how the previous winners are people of courage and integrity.

I suspect his next step is either gonna be missiles over Oslo or invoking the Insurrection Act.

Noble Pie should send him a pizza on the house. Label it as the the Noble Piece Prize! Orange Ape won't know the difference.
