It occurs to me that the fucking pedophile thinks the Nobel Committee is like the Academy Award process

Where studios lobby the Academy for their nominees.

Got news for the fucking pedophile, no it isn't.

I hope it leaks that the fucking pedophile got zero votes.

the qualifications was strong support for democracy. Think Fatso is disqualified.

I suspect that when they opened the envelop with Trump's name on it they burst out in laughter!

Seriously, what achievements has Trump accomplished that would qualify him for a Nobel? I'll wait.

Open lobbying for yourself is considered exceptionally gauche.

Many won't even say the name -- they refer to it as "the Swedish prize" to avoid jinxing their chances.

Of course, this is in the arts and sciences. Different standards could (and probably do) apply for the Peace Prize. More politics involved.

To Turnip, it's just one more symbol of outstanding achievement, and he couldn't care less about the nature of that achievement; he just wants to be acknowledged as superior, without having achieved anything of positive note -- just bluster and bloviate.
