Trump got a nomination for Nobel peace prize for his peace in the Middle East!

CornPops accomplishment?

Send 11,000 workers to unemployment!

LOL!!!

Here are some more of Biden’s lies while you soak in the fact Trump is the greatest president ever!

Trump has already lost protection against criminal prosecution, since such protections afforded a President cease when the person leaves office; in Trump's case, unless he is holding some sort of "pocket pardon" he issued to himself before leaving office; a "pocket pardon" is one issued by a sitting President that is hidden from public knowledge and, in theory, only comes into effect if the person being pardoned is charged with an actual crime that would be covered by the "pocket pardon"; in theory, the DOJ, via the AG's AUSAs could charge Trump, or have him indicted by a Federal Grand Jury, and Trump could counter by producing his self-granted "pocket pardon"; from, the public listing of Trump's issued pardons, his name does not appear on those lists, but that does not mean that there are no pardons lurking in the shadows...

As of now, absent any "pocket pardons" or the extremely, extremely remote possibility of a pardon from Biden, Trump is fully vulnerable to any number of Federal charges and prosecutions ranging from obstruction of justice to political corruption to, in the light of the Riot at the Capitol, fomenting insurrection against the government of the US, and any number of crimes in between, and that would be in addition to various Federal tax, business financial violations or campaign finance violations, etc., etc....

Keep in mind a conviction in his impeachment trial in the Senate would not result in Trump's being able to avoid criminal prosecution for any charges related to his impeachment by claiming a 'double jeopardy' exception to criminal prosecution; the impeachment trial is not a criminal trial; the Senate is prohibited, by law, from imposing prison time, fines, or most other punitive remedies afforded to the courts in normal criminal trials; the Senate can strip Trump of his eligibility to run for or hold office again for life and that seems to be the point of the Senate trial; since the impeachment trial is in essence an administrative procedure, no 'double jeopardy would attach if the Senate convicts, but, in theory, any and all evidence/testimony presented at the impeachment trial could be used and cite at any subsequent criminal trial(s) Trump could face...

For those who would question why an impeachment trial is not considered a criminal process, remember that the process is there to only remove officials from Federal office who have either abused their office(s) or who have exhibited conduct that rises to the level of impairing or besmirching the office(s) they hold, e.g., actual criminal conduct, corruption, etc.; think of it this way: if a person is found to have, say, embezzled funds from his company and the BoD or HR fires that person and then puts out public notice of the firing, making it near impossible for the ex-employee to find similar employment elsewhere, the ex-employee is still liable to criminal prosecution for embezzlement, grand theft, tax violations, etc.; the firing is administrative and outside of the criminal justice system as much as an impeachment trial is an internal governmental administrative action and not a real criminal prosecution, which is long way of saying, in terms of avoiding criminal charge and possible jail time/fines, Trump's ass is grass...


...as far as fleeing to Russia, I don't think Vlad looks kindly on employees who totally screw up their jobs; probably the best for Trump he not go to the Kremlin: I hear that Vlad's 'separation package' for ex-employees is, well, less than optimal...

Considering just about anybody can be nominated for a Nobel (or, as Trump says it "Noble") Peace Prize, its not really any big accomplishment; even Hitler was nominated once, in 1939, by an Swedish anti-fascist who was surprised when the Nobel committee actually took his nomination seriously and he later withdrew the nomination; Mussolini was also nominated once, and Stalin actually was nominated twice; hell, Yasser Arafat actually won the Peace Prize and I don't think many would consider Arafat's long history of terrorism qualifies him as an agent of peace; the Peace Prize nominee list is rife with wildly questionable individuals and Trump is just the latest in the long WTF parade...

A nomination is not all that impressive anymore; an actual win is the 'gold standard' and I can assure you porcine aviation will occur before the Nobel committee awards that lying, fat-assed, criminal a Peace Prize...

The nomination was by a norwegian ultra-nationalist, also too late to be considered.
But there are presidents that actually won a noble piece () price, right?

And Josef Stalin had two nominations.

I feel like a peace prize doesn’t stand for much when one of history’s most infamous killers gets nominated for it twice.

About the Nobel Peace Prize and the nomination process:


You, too, can become a Nobel Peace Prize nominee --

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...prize-nominee/

It should be noted Trump has been nominated multiple times, and at least two of them were done by a phony who forged the nominations:

Trump’s nomination for Nobel prize is apparently a fake, official tells NYT --

https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/01/polit...ize/index.html

...and, it appears Trump's latest nomination was submitted too late for actual consideration, so it was, in fact, not an actual legitimate nomination...


Regarding Obama's award of the Peace Prize, Obama, himself, was very clear about how he felt about the honor:

Quote:

“Let me be clear: I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations,” Obama said on Oct. 9, 2009. “To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who’ve been honored by this prize — men and women who’ve inspired me and inspired the entire world through their courageous pursuit of peace.”

Wow, what a prideful, vain, braggart Obama was, not at all like the humble, modest, self-effacing Trump...

I got the same award an earlier year, and I fail to see what point you’re making.

My point is...

Great people are awarded. Trump is a god send, in his policies, his reconstruction of the American dream, and no holds barred attitude to China and criminals.

He deserves reverence, respect, and the Nobel!
