6. It's been over two hours since this announcement and nothing yet from Trumplethinskin.

Losing to a woman, and better yet, a brown skinned one is absolutely priceless.

14. It makes my heart sing!

The world hates you, shithead. You are a goddam disgrace to the humans who remain on this earth. You are the biggest LOSER...

7. From the link:

Venezuela has evolved from a relatively democratic and prosperous country to a brutal, authoritarian state that is now suffering a humanitarian and economic crisis. Most Venezuelans live in deep poverty, even as the few at the top enrich themselves. The violent machinery of the state is directed against the country’s own citizens. Nearly 8 million people have left the country. The opposition has been systematically suppressed by means of election rigging, legal prosecution and imprisonment.

Sounds familiar. So, "President" Chucklenuts, there's still the TACObel Prize yet to be announced, so don't give up hope yet, you overflowing bag of rancid monkey pus.

8. Naming Dept.of Defense "Dept. of War" doesn't

10. What poetic justice is this! Burn!

12. Ha ha - no Trump

Also sends a message that those opposed to Trump are the real peacemakers.

15. Irony of Marco Rubio

One of the people that nominated her was Mario Rubio before Trump took office.

Awkward.

16. Did anyone ever seriously think he would get it?

I can see him getting it if it turns out we have real, long lasting peace in Israeli/Palestinian conflict. But one day doesn't really prove anything. But it did sound like serious people were contemplating the possibility.
