Okay, I have been laughing at this for about five straight minutes!

I can only hope the video is edited to insinuate something that clearly isn't true, but I don't know that it it is! Here is Donald Trump claiming to have won "three or four Nobel Peace Prizes!" OUTSTANDING!!!

This confirmation hearing is such a clown show.

It's cool to get to listen to a true expert talk about the law, though. Let's me reminisce about the good old days of law school.

Question...

Is the ACA unconstitutional or not??

I know that GO is an attorney and that we have others on here as well. f you are not a lawyer or someone that legit understands the law, please defer to those that do. Thank you.

It is pretty cool to hear from an expert. Wish we had more of that vs a politician pontificating.

Way past time for Grassley and Leahy to retire. Can’t understand either one of them when they speak.

Here's one that will make Trump's idiotic ramblings seem like a breath of fresh air.

When Obama was a rising star, the Dems fabricated charges against one person and killed another who had dirt on Obama, according to the one who had the fabricated charges against him. https://twitter.com/i/status/1315794344448847877

You have outdone yourself establishing a new low:

"Sinclair's biography, though, may get in the way of that pitch: Public records and court filings reveal that he has a 27-year criminal record, with a specialty in crimes involving deceit. The record includes forgery charges in two states, one of which drew Sinclair a 16-year jail sentence. The Pueblo County, Colo., Sheriff's Office also has an outstanding warrant for Sinclair's arrest for forging an acquaintance's signature and stealing her tax refunds."

Find some credible (not moronic) sources before you post, please.

I want someone to fact check this. I want a journalist to call Storting (who gives out the award) and ask them to verify whether or not Donald Trump has won "three or four of them." I don't know exactly how they will respond, but I'm pretty sure it will be very much worth reporting!!!

Not that I make a habit out of trying to justify things Trump says but in all fairness, he didn't actually say he WON 3 or 4 Nobel Peace Prizes and he has, in fact, been nominated for 3.
