      I would think this pretty much locks up the Nobel peace prize, right?

          It makes a mockery of the FIFA Peace Prize one might even say.

            She's sunk. She didn't thank you-know-who by name.

            MarĂ­a Corina Machado's letter to Venezuelans

            Venezuelans, The time for freedom has come!

            Nicolás Maduro from today will face international justice for the atrocious crimes committed against Venezuelans and against citizens of many other nations. Given his refusal to accept a negotiated solution, the United States government has fulfilled its promise to enforce the law.

            The time has come for popular sovereignty and national sovereignty to prevail in our country. We are going to restore order, release the political prisoners, build an exceptional country, and bring our children back home.

            We have fought for years, we have given it our all, and it has been worth it. What was meant to happen is happening.

            This is the hour of the citizens. Those of us who risked everything for democracy on June 28th. Those of us who elected Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia as the legitimate President of Venezuela, who must immediately assume his constitutional mandate and be recognized as Commander-in-Chief of the National Armed Forces by all the officers and soldiers who comprise it.

            Today we are ready to assert our mandate and take power. Let us remain vigilant, active, and organized until the democratic transition is complete. A transition that needs ALL of us.

            To the Venezuelans who are currently in our country, be ready to put into action what we will be communicating to you very soon through our official channels.

            To Venezuelans abroad, we need you to be mobilized, engaging the governments and citizens of the world and committing them from now on to the great operation of building the new Venezuela.

            In these crucial hours, receive all my strength, my confidence, and my affection. We remain vigilant and in contact.

            VENEZUELA WILL BE FREE! We go hand in hand with God, until the end.

            I was going to make a joke about her swapping her Nobel for Y-K-W's support of the opposition.

            Turns out it's no joke.

            Venezuelan opposition leader MarĂ­a Corina Machado said on Monday she wants to share her Nobel Peace Prize with US President Donald Trump and personally thank him following his administration's military intervention in Venezuela.

            In an interview with Fox News, Machado praised Trump for the ouster of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on Saturday, describing Washington's actions as "a huge step for humanity, for freedom and human dignity".

              You don't "share" a prize given to you by a philanthropic institution any more than you slap your name on a national monument.

              This woman is bad news; she has always been bad news. And, yet again, the Nobel prizes have been revealed as a bad joke.

                    "You may have heard that Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves — 300 billion barrels. You probably don’t know that Venezuela’s reported oil reserves tripled while Hugo Chavez was president. This increase, from roughly 100 billion to 300 billion barrels, didn’t reflect major new discoveries or exploration. Instead, it reflected the Chavez government’s decision to reclassify the country’s Orinoco Belt heavy oil as “proved” — oil that can be recovered with reasonable certainty under existing economic and operating conditions:" P. Krugman

                    This was followed by a graph showing the sudden jump in the numbers.

                      1. She has offered to share the prize.
                      2. He said he would be happy to accept it
                      3. The Nobel Committee says the prize cannot be shared or transferred. The money awarded with the prize can be spent anyway the recipient wants.

                        Well, of course, it can't be shared or transfered.
