The Nobel Peace Prize Committee for 2025 consisted of five members appointed by the Norwegian Parliament.

The members are:

Jrgen Watne Frydnes (Chair)
Asle Toje (Vice Chair)
Anne Enger
Kristin Clemet
Gry Larsen

I wonder what each of them are thinking today.

The Nobel is an anachronism. It's Meaning is Questionable.

Cretins like Trump place excessive emphasis on "Prizes" and recognition.

Real peacemakers don't give a ---- about Prizes.

They work quietly to build consensus and bridge differences.

The Opposite of Machado or Trump.

OK, what's next?

P. Diddy (a.k.a. Sean Combs) gifting his Grammys to Pres Trump in order to get on Pres Trump's favorable side, and get a possible pardon?

Maybe Pres Trump will get a Grammy if he releases an album of his ~weaving?~

Is there a Grammy category for mental degradation?
