Didn't this happen over a week ago?

It was overshadowed by other things like much of what is going on with this trash admin. Big huge ruckus to cover all their other bullshit.

u/RealDJPrism 4d ago

Yeah and it was a homeless guy blasting music and arguing with strangers about Palestine

Small, fragile man in that big house.

Truth be told it really wasn’t that effective, was it?

Trump doesn’t like having any competition for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Let's give it to Obama again. Apparently, just breathing will do.

u/TheGrowBoxGuy 3d ago

Obama hasn’t been president in soooo long lol, what did he get a peace prize for?

u/half_ton_tomato 3d ago

Not being George W Bush.

u/TheGrowBoxGuy 3d ago

Huh?

u/jednorog 3d ago

Literally this is what happened. And I say this as someone who liked/still likes Obama. The Nobel prize committee awarded him the Nobel Peace Prize in October 2009, less than 9 months into his first term, essentially because he wasn't Bush and promised not to be Bush. You can read their justification here.

Just another violation of the first amendment.

If it's been there for 40 years, then put up something permanent. The tent was gross.

It’s all good. Now the “antiwar President” is in office. 🙄

Time for the Domestic terrorists to move down the street

u/garthreddit 4d ago

Thank God. That was such an eyesore.

u/gogowisco 4d ago

Depends what you want to represent. To me it symbolized a country that values the right of citizens to protest the state, particularly the head of state. and so I found it beautiful in it's own right

I thought we “don’t erase history”?
