If you truly believe that Trump is worthy of a Nobel Prize in anything, we have nothing to talk about. But if you return to planet Earth, let us all know.

Ok, don’t bother me then.

Do they give one for lying? Shoe in.

Exploding silly liberal minds everywhere.

Just for fun, he couldn't spell it right a few months ago.
And apparently his campaign can't either when they make an ad up.

With his Middle East peace deals and pulling troops out of places and bringing them back home, Trump has done more to advance peace in 3 weeks than Obummer did in 8 years, but nothing like getting an "anticipatory" prize.

By the way. I had an interesting converastion with a very liberal friend of mine over the weekend. (Yes you can still be friends and disagree politically).
She is the same age as I and she was a very active demonstrator during the Vietnam War era- for world peace. She was actually arrested at demonstrations for peace in Chicago. She is a Democrat all the way and a real Peacenik.
I asked her. What if there was a President that A) Never started a war during his administration, B) Was intent on pulling US troops out from overseas and back home, C) Made overtures to make peace with our enemies without pandering or losing our strong positions, D) Brokered Peace deals in the Middle East that were unprecedented and helped secure Israel's future while keeping the dignity of Muslim Countries, E) Brokered a peace deal between Serbia and Kosovo, F) Was not afraid to stand up to warlord Generals in the Pentagon, and G)was working hard to get the US out of the Afghanistan mess? Would you demonstrate against that President and maybe actually be FOR him?

She knew what I was talking about and had NO answer....

Hmmmmmmmmmm.

"Rake America great again". 104 million acres in CA. Maybe he'll need a roomba.

Unlike the rest of the country which allows fire breaks to be regularly cut in forest areas. In the West Coast where the fire breaks are cut as a last resort to stop a raging inferno. Or maybe cleaning up the forest floor of dead brush, but NO, the tree huggers want none of that. Well now you dumbasses have no forest at all, millions in damage, thousands homeless. But what forest is left is still pristine, so there's that.

There are firebreaks and brush cleaning all over California.
The challenge seems to be the high winds more than anything else.
Fire breaks almost useless in those conditions.

Well, the gender reveal fireworks also seem to be an issue.

Sure doesn't appear that way from the pictures on tv. Wider firebreaks, and more brush clearing, and maybe some clear cutting, as distasteful as that might be to some, could slow these fires down You have drought and high winds, AND gender reveal morons. You can't just leave nature be in this instance.
