The FIFA ‘Golden Binky’ award has only in ALL history been given to one very special baby prez dopey and it’s solid gold too. Tears in my eyes sir, sir no other prez will ever rise to your level of FIFA BINKY stardom we will draft a law and don’t worry the otto pen will even sign for you.

I think you may have something there. When trump finds out that Maduro is a fellow dictator who also cheated on elections to stay in power (I don't know if dumbass trump is even aware of it), he very well could find the same kind of love that he holds for Kim Jong Un, Putin and all the other global dictators for Maduro also. And they could commiserate on the fact that Venezuela's legitimately elected president was just awarded trump's coveted Nobel Peace Prize. I dunno but that you may have found a solution to this issue!

Actually thats not a bad idea. Since Trump has no ideological opinions, all Maduro has to do is surrender and say that Trump won and Venezuela would be honored to sell oil to Trump for a discounted rate.

Cheney The Dick made $39.5 billion from no-bid contracts in the two most recent wars that Rethuglicans started for fun and profit. As an aside, if there is ever a real investigation into the events of 9/11/01, the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) should be Exhibit A. It states that a “new Pearl Harbor” was needed to kick off their evil plan. Fukkin’ Rethuglicans just love war and chaos because it makes it easier to steal.

A very important lesson for the Rethuglicans:

Cheney the Dick is dead. Quite very dead. He did all that shit and--guess what?--he still got very dead. Completely dead. He's so dead, he can't spend any of that blood money, 'cause he's.....DEAD.

In contrast, the universe has moved on, the Earth is turning, and daffodils will bloom in the spring. And, as Sara Teasdale noted, not one will care....that the Dick is DEAD.

Kallmann syndrome in yet another display: "Large tanker. Very large. Largest one ever seized, actually.” Micro-penis strikes again.
