The Trump Piece of Shit Prize?
[QUOTE=MarquisdeSade1;3031272][URL]https://www.newsmax.com/politics/rjc-nobel-peace-prize-trump/2025/10/09/id/1229677/[/URL][/QUOTE]LOL. Yes, they should rename that Prize after Trump.
Of course, every so-called president who leads his mob of violent, cop-killing Insurrectionists into bloody battle on American soil to overturn a free and fair election, overthrow democracy, assassinate a few duly-elected officials along the way, then praise them as "patriots" and pardon every convicted criminal one of them the minute he can should be awarded The Trump Piece of Shit Prize!
A Courageous Message of defiance from Somewhere in Venezuela
"We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world, as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy. "
"I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!" María Corina Machado, the 2025 recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Machado remains in Venezuela in deep hiding for her own safety and security. She has been the victim of multiple physical assaults by socialist mobs since Maduro took power in 2013.

Go talk to people who live in these areas, they are dying for police to protect them.
Police are quitting left and right over it. Can't hire them fast enough due to danger and stress of the job.

It might look that way to the woefully ill-informed, like you.
[QUOTE=DCups;3031405]Buddy, you have been brainwashed.[/QUOTE]For all the Mainstream Media nonsense that persists to this day that Trump won the election because historically Dem voters from the Black and Latino Communities shifted to Trump and on all the silly issues MSM filled the air about in order to help their beloved Repubs win elections, not one typically Blue state flipped from Harris to Trump EXCEPT the only three battleground / swing states that mattered and determined the winner by a swing of less than 0. 75 of a single percentage point of votes from Harris to Trump across those three states, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
And all it took was for a relatively tiny handful of the 600,000 Muslim votes across those three battleground / swing states to make that shift, less than 115,000 of them.
Here is how and where that tiny handful swing of votes by a single demographic on a single issue happened:

Nope. It turns out no other demographics, no other players on the field nor any issues other than the one focused on by those Muslim Community Leader players in those three battleground / swing states gave Trump the presidency in 2024.

The Myth of the 'American Cowboy'hook, line and sinker!
[QUOTE=TheCane]Well, this is the kind of indoctrination young people in the United States begin receiving starting in grade school. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps! Go west young man, go west! But it's not hard to find out that many of the same people telling you that didn't actually do it their own damn selves to get to where they were. They were born with certain advantages and able to move in certain circles that most ordinary people could not. They knew the right people and got certain breaks, opportunities, and assistance not available to the common man because of that. And yet, they arrogantly proclaim they made it on their own, and implore the less fortunate to just keep their heads down and work hard (often for them to make them "the man" rich) going only with self-reliance. But as you get older and experience more of life, you come to realize that so much of what they told you isn't totally true. And yet the cohesiveness of society, the maintenance of your dignity and sanity, and the ability to keep going demands of faith in certain core principles and beliefs. Or else, things start to fail and fall apart. And we have anarchy and chaos. [/QUOTE][NOPARSE]You've excellently posted, the very example of the romanticization, of the mythical "American Cowboy", that dudes like, Elvis 2008, RamDavidson84 and other MAGA suckers, have swallowed...hook, line and sinker![/NOPARSE]
So let me explain and tell you, the brief story and myth of that [B]romanticized "American Cowboy"[/B].
[U]The myth of the American Cowboy:[/U]
[LIST]The myth of the American Cowboy, embodies rugged individualism, self-reliance, and freedom, symbolizing the untamed spirit of the American frontier. Popularized by 19th-century cattle drives, Wild West shows, and later in Hollywood Westerns, the cowboy became an iconic figure. The lone cowboy (or lone ranger), a stoic hero who thrives in harsh landscapes, answers to no one, and lives by his own moral code.
This image romanticizes independence, resilience, and defiance against gov't and authority. "Cowboy Individualism", believe that a "True American", is the man that operates on his own, outside the community, he needs nothing from the gov't, he works hard to support himself, he protects his family and (most importantly) asserts his will by dominating others.
The myth naturally, will [b]often overlooking the realities of cowboys' lives, which relied on teamwork, diverse cultural influences (including Mexican vaqueros and Black cowboys), and economic hardship. [/b]
Yet, the myth persists as a symbol of American identity, representing ideals of personal liberty, adventure, and the conquest of the wilderness. Politically and culturally, the cowboy archetype has been used to justify individualism, resistance to regulation, and the idealized American past, even as it obscures the complex history of the West.
Culturally, the American Cowboy myth reinforces white male dominance, [i][b]erasing the historical contributions of Black, Mexican, Women and Indigenous cowboys,[/b][/i] while promoting a narrative of rugged independence that dismisses systemic oppression.
Over the years, many on the right have been sucked into "The myth of the American Cowboy", that has been politically weaponized, particularly by the Republican Party, to promote a brand of toxic individualism that glorifies hyper-masculinity, anti-government sentiment, and domination over marginalized groups.
This idealized American Cowboy, white-male, self-sufficient, and unbound by societal constraints—has become a metaphor for conservative values, reinforcing hierarchies of race, gender, and power.[/LIST][NOPARSE]Yes, as many of the MAGA/Repubs and Repub Libertarians, love to "romanticize" and see themselves as the "American Cowboy", when as the myth points out, nothing could be further from the truth. [/NOPARSE].
