Do you agree or disagree that these agreements are worth a Nobel Peace Prize?
That's a big can of worms;
- the Nobel Peace Prize did lose a bit of credibility over the years so they should be really carefull about who they give it.
- Is that peace treaty really such a big deal ? It isn't like Israel and Bahrain was in a active war against each other or even had border issue.
- Did Trump really work much on that treaty or just put his name on it at the end?

In my book, no US President since WW2 should ever be admissible for that price, the assassination of Qasem Soleimani alone should disqualifie Trump.

And before you ask, yes they should not have given Obama that Nobel as well.

I still remember Trump moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and that absolutely did not help the peace progress

NOBODY BACK IN 2009 have ever said the Peace Nobel was deserved, even Obama was skeptical about the merits of it. Then again, Kissinger got it, nice joke once you know what he did to Latin America.

2009 was the year lots of people (including me) cared enough to find out that the Nobel Peace Prize was kinda bullshit. It's not really anyone's fault, least of all the recipients, but it is.

I'm sure recipients can reject the prize if they want to...

It was never a question of if for me. It was all a matter of when. He tempted fate a lot too many times. Eventually it was going to catch up to him.

Trump banned for life from Twitter.

In other news, Twitter are on the brink of announcing a policy on closing the stable door.

Trump tries to ban evade.

EDIT: https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1347735433292050433

Tried to do it again.

Third time's a charm? Well, no actually.

Parler was banned by Google today, Apple probably tomorrow, and if Amazon decides to reject hosting it, it's probably done.

If any conservative complains about big tech having too much power, they should remember that deregulation and big tax breaks for companies was Donald’s platform.

Trump: "B...but....consequences are things that happen to other people, not me!"

Even Twitter can't stay quiet with this, with Trump inciting his underlings Twitter leaving the Tweets up could be viewed as silent support of Trump's activities and could involve legal culpability arguably. Even if the charges fail that's bad press no company wants. Banning the first world leader ever already sets a serious precedence but they had to after what happened.

Silencing the most powerful man in America, the US President from all Big Tech social media is perhaps the biggest redpill on free speech censorship you could possibly give to your audience.

Alt Tech sites are getting hit hard with mass migration with verification codes being delayed.

Seems like you
a) don't know what free speech actually is (**); and
b) have a problem with the free market (**).

Now maybe they can do something useful for once and ban the horde of phishing bots and propaganda accounts from other countries as well and do something about how people's accounts seem to get hacked with ease and turned into a propaganda zombie mouthpiece even with 2FA turned on

Like damn, this issue still remains unresolved after nearly 10 years
