When news broke that Jared Kushner and Stacey Abrams had been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, members of both parties were outraged. Here’s the thing, though: Being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize is a LOT different than actually winning it. In his latest episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza ticks through the political ramifications of a Nobel nomination.

Hey, Chris here. Who do you think should win this year’s Nobel Peace Prize?
@Julie James I think she does. We have Diane Abbott here in the UK, she’s just like her. Bit fatter though, which I’m sure you’ll find surprising.
@Challenger 50 yes I’ve heard that in the US there are award ceremonies for people of colour. In other words no whites allowed.
Trump
BLM is a terrorist group with a death count over 40
Somebody really, really smart! I think that leaves out Trump and Kushner.
To get nominated, just don’t be a fascist homophobe. There!
If I remember correctly Trump is the only president to have supported gay marriage before becoming president you’re thinking of transphobic
@Casual Inquisitor that’s why he tried to strip rights from the lgbtq community before leaving office and signed a transgender military ban, but you keep living in denial thinking he’s pro-lgbtq
@Eclipse Highroller What rights has he taken from the LGB community and what rights has he taken from the T community
Oh yes fascist just like antifa the so called anti fascist haha with their masks and helmets like chickens
Gfis that

oh yes
Don’t forget, donald won “Michigan’s Man of the Year Award…” which doesn’t and has never existed.
Did he have a fake magazine cover created for that fake award? 😂
Biden was killed https://youtu.be/TdRUNQMm17I omg!.!!‘
Oh that’s rich!!!😂😂😂
Kris Frederick
Lmao..
Sounds like Biden plagiarized his idea when he set the ‘president elect ‘ office
“It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve them.”

“How many narcissists does it take to screw in a light bulb? One narcissist to hold the light bulb, while the world revolves around them.”
Biden was killed https://youtu.be/TdRUNQMm17I omg!.!!‘
What if that narcissist has his own base that would do anything for him?
Oh, yeah, Kushner who was taped saying about people in blue states re. covid: “Let them die.” The peace of the grave.
Biden was killed https://youtu.be/TdRUNQMm17I omg!‘‘
could you source this comment . Post a link where we can all hear these taped comments made by Kushner. I’ll wait.
I’m not here, this isn’t happening.
We’re not scaremongering, this is really happening
Rows of houses, all bearing down on me. I can feel their blue hands touching me.
Whoever nominated Jared Kushner for the prize is the genius with the biggest brain. Now T*** being the self centered person will now see Kushner as his enemy.
Kushner even being considered for that award is a horrible sick joke
@Michael Williamson you’re just looking to get into a bullshit debate here with that response, somehow you managed to combine two conservative rhetoric strawman talking points into one statement: Obama Obsession and Whataboutism, the mental gymnastics there are impressive, and for the record Obama made mistakes like all presidents have, but to compare him to a smug wealthy privileged slum lord who’s business dealings are shady at best is a leap of logic I didn’t think was possible, well done
@Joy Simpson even if there was peace in the Middle East Kushner wouldn’t have had anything to do with it, but don’t tell these conservatives that because wealthy entitlement is the ideal they all strive for
@Thomas Perry
There’s a lot talk about everything a conservative says (or someone you just assumed is a conservative) being conservative talking points or “far right wing talking points” but couldn’t the same be said about every point you tried to make in your previous comment?
1) Kushner is the poster child for white privilege entitled do-nothing criminals.
2) The fact that you conservatives are trying to impose sainthood on him for supposedly negotiating peace is laughable and says a lot about you
3) Somehow you managed to combine two conservative rhetoric strawman talking points into one statement: Obama Obsession and Whataboutism
4) To compare him to a smug wealthy privileged slum lord who’s business dealings are shady at best is a leap of logic I didn’t think was possible, well done
What would you call those 4 points that you made in response to me? You said I’m using “conservative talking points” and someone else said I’m using “far right talking points”
Do you see the hypocrisy in your comment? You’re making what you would call “Liberal talking points” or “far left talking points” You are parroting everything the media says. Just as you would accuse me of parroting everything the right wing media says.
@Michael Williamson I don’t know man, if you want to idolize Kushner then have at it, I don’t idolize Obama and never have as I previously said, and I don’t hate or love anyone because the media tells me to as it’s been implied in this thread, I have a mind of my own and I form my own opinions, my talking points remain firm just as yours remain solid so we should probably leave it at that because neither one of us will change our minds
@Thomas Perry
I’m not trying to argue but I’m not idolizing him. I’m giving credit where credit is due. Two distinct differences. Good day, my friend.
Kushner is featured on the Netflix show Dirty Money where they describe how he treats the people renting his property. He emptied a single mother of three bank account even though she had done nothing wrong.
if that were true Kushner would be in jail. How did he get her account information for three different bank accounts??? do Tell.
@scott shannon Suggest you reread the above post. It was mother of THREE, not THREE bank accounts you numpty !!
Suggest you google Kamiia Warren for the full story instead of behaving like a prat.
@bpaak waan ~ thanks for following up. Great use of the word numpty!
@scott shannon ~ the court ruled in favour of Kushner initially, and they took the money, then a lawyer got the evidence that proved the woman was innocent and the whole case was dropped. Kushner is not a nice person.
Will never understand how so many people voted for trump.the bigglyest deplorable.
Well about that many people voted for Biden too, so you have equal stupid then don’t you. Hell, my nearsighted dog voted for Biden. He won’t wear his glasses, says they make him look like a poodle. You’ll have that.
Gfis that
https://youtu.be/P85afV3OgnA
oh yes
bigglyest is not a word .
@scott shannon It’s okay. If they thank bigglyest is a word then ignore it. Its like when the old man down the street has poopy stains on his pants, you just smile and let it go.
Will Kushner have to explain what happened with the Saudi JOURNALIST MR KASHHOGGI FIRST.???
Jared Kushner?!? Ok, this is nightmare. I’m going back to sleep.
I thought April Fool’s came early when I saw his name being floated 🤷🏾♂️
@Haya Glamazon April fools came Jan 20
If they give Jared the Nobel Peace prize, every recipient should symbolically return the trophy (but keep the money)
dont worry, he doesnt stand a chance
Obama already proved the prize is beyond worthless.
https://youtu.be/If5H5eA5ftI
@Wilbur Whatley not at all. Obama is problably the only one who didnt deserve it. Americans tend to see the world through american lens in order to deckde what is worthless or not. Well, guess what. The world is a lot bigger than what interest americans
@Daniela dos Santos Silva That’s what I meant. Obama’s award of the prize Diminished it’s value immensely. Perhaps I worded that incorrectly. You’re a true Patriot. I hope you kill many Democrats.
A peace prize for an arm’s deal? Disgusting
The nobel peace prize nominated a blacl woman and a white supremacist 🤦🏾♂️
Instead, jared kushner should win a VHS copy of “Dude, where’s my car?”
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted”.
You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
This, then, is how you should pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

These are the teachings,
The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
REPENT, and start doing what is right.
If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples; then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
A time is coming and has now come, that the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth. God is Spirit, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and Truth; they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
In the New Heaven and New Earth,
only Righteousness dwells.
May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.
