Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"epic snub" seems a little exaggerated for something that fat orange fascist was never qualified for in the first place.
The committee had some choice words that made it pretty epic tbh.
Basically said something like they don't like it when people campaign for the novel peace prize, and that it's something that definitely gets talked about when making the decision.
But that just tells me he's not the first, only, or likely last person to solicit something he isn't qualified for from this committee. Not exactly epic if they are just stating the obvious out loud.
As far as what the nobel peace prize committee says on the record, that's about as brutal of a fucking slam as you're ever going to hear.
Words have lost all meaning. Brutal to point out character flaws that everyone already knows about and epic that they talk it about openly. SLAMMED!
Snub usually has a negative connotation for the one doing the snubbing. Additionally they didn't ignore him, they just called out his bad behavior.
I didn't get an Oscar this year. I was epicly snubbed.
I didn't do anything related to the movies, but still it was an epic snub. How could the Academy do this to me? 🤣
Well you didn’t get a Darwin Award either or a razzie. You’ll survive.
