Hmm sounds familiar Hitler disliked the Nobel Prize after German journalist Carl von Ossietzky, a vocal critic of Hitler, was given the 1935 peace prize. Hitler subsequently barred all Germans from accepting a Nobel Prize and created the German National Prize for Art and Science as an alternative.

Abolish the death penalty. That horror show in Tennesse was the 2nd time that has happened. It is also factual that 203 people executed since 1973 were later exonerated. Our inJustice system make mistakes- too many- to have a penalty with so much finality.

1/2 It’s also worth remembering: the USMCA trade deal that Donald Trump spent the last year calling a “rip-off”, was something he negotiated. He signed it. He bragged about it for years.

Trump: “We could do tremendous good for ourselves by just not trading with other countries,” he said. “We lose with Mexico $195 billion a year. They have nothing that we have to have, I mean, hot tamales, tomatoes, a couple of things.” The stupidest president ever.
