British member of Parliament nominates Biden for a Nobel Peace Prize

[Walleye]

1. Ha! The operative word is peace.

[Mike 03]

2. Brilliant!

Thank you MP Chris Bryant!

“When others have resorted to violent solutions, [Biden] has argued that the best force is the force of argument,” Chris Bryant, a member of the Labour Party, told the Standard. “Because guns can stop a heart but well-placed words can change many hearts, and many hearts can change a world.”

3. This is great!

A member of the British Parliament on Tuesday announced he has nominated Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for the Nobel Peace Prize.

“When others have resorted to violent solutions, [Biden] has argued that the best force is the force of argument,” Chris Bryant, a member of the Labour Party, told the Standard. “Because guns can stop a heart but well-placed words can change many hearts, and many hearts can change a world.”

4. Yes, Joe Biden deserves the NPP for work to save our civil society

during the 2 terms that he was V.P. and the calm hope he is giving us as we resist American Fascism.

Mr. Chris Bryant, a member of the Labour Party, we thank you for making the nomination.

5. You need to wait 50 years to find that out.

From the Nobel Prize website:

"The statutes of the Nobel Foundation restrict disclosure of information about the nominations, whether publicly or privately, for 50 years."

So, just because someone says they nominated someone doesn't mean the nomination is officially recognized as such.

22. Well, Trump will recognize it

and it will drive him crazy. Right before the big debate, the timing couldn't have been more perfect, which could have been the point.

[Brother Buzz]

6. This nomination is honest and genuine, and Biden can have some fun with it, but...

Joe, unlike the orange anus, knows it's just a nomination.

I find the timing of the nomination delicious.

[soothsayer]

7. Yes, since drumpf might crow about three now

[CozyMystery]

8. Just thinking about Biden gives me

hope and he is a calming influence on me.

[nolabear]

9. The British troll Spanky brilliantly.

You just know the rest of the world is watching and waiting to see if we’ll be open for business again come January.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

10. It's very silly, but still far less silly than Trump's nomination.

I honestly think Chef Jose Andres deserves it in reality.

[wnylib]

15. Chef Andres definitely deserves some

kind of prize or award for his humanitarian work. Not sure that it qualifies for a peace prize, though, which is for people contributing to the cause of peace.

Biden is supporting peaceful means of defending democracy against a fascist takeover in the midst of polarization so strong and angry that it sometimes bursts out in violent confrontations which are encouraged by the WH resident. His calming influence is keeping us intact and as stable as possible under the circumstances. He deserves the nomination.

[gibraltar72]

11. Those are the words I hear re. Joe

while phonebanking. It started second week, of 14 so far. A dramatic change in South Central Michigan.

[Illumination]

12. Hands down Biden should absolutely win the Nobel Peace Prize! YES! YES! YES!

[keithbvadu2]

13. Trump says he has two Nobel Peace Prizes.

16. They're "Noble Prizes" - completely different

[mwooldri]

18. He got two No Bell Peace Prizes?

Sorry it didn't ring anything to me...

[DBoon]

33. I think they were Taco Bell Piece Prizes

to go with the hamberders and covfefe

[pazzyanne]

21. You have to forgive this pResident.

Poor man doesn't know thze difference between a nomination and actually winning the prize. Remember, this is the man who refused to serve in Viet Nan but happily accepted a Purple Heart from a Veteran because it was easier that way.

[Sogo]

26. And several Time Magazine covers....

[JDC]

14. Hand raised

[StarryNite]

17. YES!

[KS Toronado]

19. Appears the British want Hair-Doo to be a one term POTUS also.

[pazzyanne]

20. Thank you, Chris Bryant!

We appreciate you honoring Joe Biden's contributions to America and the World throughout his years of public service. Joe has been a champion of peace, calm, and trying to bring people together for years. Prayers for Joe and for Chris.

[sandensea]

23. Yes - but the best time would be in 2022

Awarding Biden the Nobel Prize in '21 would only backfire politically - as it did against Obama in '09.

By October 2022 however, Biden may very well have enough foreign policy accomplishments to merit the award. It'll make sense then.

Again: Any sooner, and you're giving the GOPee a major political gift for the '22 midterms.

[cayugafalls]

25. To be honest, the only thing keeping me sane right now is Joe's calming effect.

Without Joe and Kamala running against the orange shitgibbon, I would be a wreck. They have spoken calmly and strongly in support of bringing Americans of all stripes back together. The message is one of peaceful dialogue and a return to peaceful discourse.

If anything, this nomination means a lot right now as it really is a TRUTH, when the US is so full of hate and fear mongering, Joe and Kamala have restored my faith that we can and will win the day.

[sandensea]

30. I hear you - but as always, timing is everything

A Nobel Prize in 2021 would backfire, and would make a great Rethug attack line for the '22 midterms (as it was against Obama, you'll recall).

A Nobel Prize in 2022, on the other hand, could be touted as a well-deserved recognition for what will almost certainly be two years of Biden accomplishments in the peace front.

[marble falls]

24. Oh to be a fly (other than Jr or Eric) on the Oval Office wall.

[brooklynite]

27. In all honesty, I'm waiting for Greta Thunberg to be announced as the winner

Public nominations (for anyone) are meaningless.

[Totally Tunsie]

28. I'll bet Joe can even spell "N-O-B-E-L"!

[liberalla]

29. For his SANITY and his "calming influence "

Go Joe!

[smb]

31. I'd Like To See Him Win Next Year When He Earns It For Starting To Clean Up Tweetolini's Mess

I visualize this chain of events:

1. Tweetolini sees news report about Biden being awarded the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize.

2. Tweetolini throws a tantrum and smashes the TV set.

3. Tweetolini loses his prison TV lounge privileges and has his license plate factory earnings garnished to pay for a replacement.

32. Yes✋
