      I didn’t get an Oscar this year. I was epicly snubbed.

      I didn’t do anything related to the movies, but still it was an epic snub. How could the Academy do this to me? 🤣

      The committee had some choice words that made it pretty epic tbh.

      Basically said something like they don’t like it when people campaign for the novel peace prize, and that it’s something that definitely gets talked about when making the decision.

        But that just tells me he’s not the first, only, or likely last person to solicit something he isn’t qualified for from this committee. Not exactly epic if they are just stating the obvious out loud.

          As far as what the nobel peace prize committee says on the record, that’s about as brutal of a fucking slam as you’re ever going to hear.

            Words have lost all meaning. Brutal to point out character flaws that everyone already knows about and epic that they talk it about openly. SLAMMED!

        Snub usually has a negative connotation for the one doing the snubbing. Additionally they didn’t ignore him, they just called out his bad behavior.

    It’s not an “epic snub” at all when he never deserved it, by any metric. He’s simply an overgrown toddler who wants something. The facts and logic of why don’t matter, he just hasn’t been told ‘no’ enough…

    Trump is still salty about ‘Spy Magazine,’ which was a local NYC magazine that went out of business years ago.

    They mocked him without mercy. Once they did a list of the cheapest New Yorkers. They sent 100 rich folks personal checks for about $5.00. Only half bothered to cast them. Then they lowered it to $2.00. About a dozen people took the bait.

    The editors sent checks for thirteen cents [13 pennies, not enough to make a phone call] and two people cashed the checks. Trump and an arms dealer.

      Ironically, I could see Taco blaming it on his equivalent of a…autopen.

      I like that he’d send pictures of his hands and notes in golden Sharpie for decades. This is from 2015, but at that point, it had gone on for 25 years. I mean, the Confederates dismiss critical conversations about Taco as “TDS”, but to have a vendetta about an insult from 1984? That’s some actual derangement right there…

        The amazing thing about Trump is that no writer would ever produce such a complete idiot.

        I knew about the whole ‘short fingers thing,’ but I had no idea he was still sending pictures.

        Even the Governor from ‘Blazing Saddles’ would have called it off.

          The best thing the phrase was “short fingered vulgarian” aka a common pickpocket. Trump did not get the reference and assumed they were talking about his hands.

    It’s not a snub if you were never in the rubbing, or even meet the basic requirements. While the nominations were choosing, he was still threatening Canada and Greenland with invasion. He has only since failed to fulfill his promise of ending two foreign invasions, has assaulted free speech in his own country, weapon’s the DoJ, the DoD and DHS against his own constituents and political rivals…

      It’s not really his puppet, she’s a wanna be imperialist collaborator. She wants to sell her country off for a little slice of the profits, she’s hoping someone will take her up on the offer and install her as president

    I mean, it went to an American puppet who dedicated the award to him… I guess this reaction is either a display of his insecurities and childishness, a reaction to missing such good PR, or both?
