Viva Mexico!
President Sheinbaum.
Not “President Claudia”.
And now I’m jealous of Mexico.
To be clear, 37 other candidates were murdered. Leaving this final one the pick of the cartels as the survivor.
Wait, after all those murders and sabotaging during the elections the people still managed to elect a really worthy president (seems like the best president I’ve seen in all the countries the last years)??
Wow, maybe I should move to Mexico
Congratulations Mexico!
Edit: Well, hmm:
Either that or back deals with the cartels to ensure the same happened to the opposition, or not to the official candidate
Can we also elect a smartypants nonretiree ? Is that even an option ?
Don’t need to point out the fact she’s Jewish. Nobody cares. Just do a good job.
You. You are the reason they need to point it out.
Just move on. You think no one cares, but I care infinitely less about your comment on it than I do learning the background of an elected official, especially given the situation in Gaza.
As an American jew, I care as well
Legitimate question: Who exactly is it that won’t attend her inauguration? Were they invited, but refused to attend? Who else from the US is going?
Also, congrats to Mexico! sounds like a great choice for a president!
I will NOT be attending, so I’m on the list. I can’t go, but I won’t be going, either, as I neither have an invitation nor the means to do so.
Yeah, I’d be interested in how many people go to the inauguration of other countries heads of state.
Like, my best guess is that it’s a dig at, like, Gov Abbott, but I agree that I don’t think I’d expect him to, even if he was a Democrat.
When was the last time Mexico attended a US Presidential Inauguration lol
Spiderman pointing at Spiderman
Yeah I’m confused as to why that sentence was in the announcement.
Also, is it normal for them to attend, or are we just making this great Mexico news about America?
Guessing it is common for the state department to send a representative. Perhaps the Secretary of State since it’s an important neighbour. Since it’s campaign time, you could see others going if they believe it helps their reelection bid somehow ( though I don’t know how), but it would not be unusual if only the US ambassador to Mexico is present. I don’t know of any foreign politician that attend the US presidential inauguration.
I mean you have to assume they’re talking about like the governor of Texas or something, but I’ve never heard of them attending before.
This is amazing for the world. Good job Mexico.
Mexico elects
Not yet… voting isn’t over until June 8
What? We voted yesterday…
RIP
She sounds promising, good luck to Mexicans for the next electoral period.

Is this the first Nobel laureate to run a country? How bloody amazing. Well done Mexico!
Barak Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate nine months after his inauguration. Subsequently, he used a drone to murder an American citizen, among a litany of other atrocities.
Meanwhile Lê Đức Thọ refused the prize as it was shared with FUCKING KISSINGER.
Wasn’t Carter a Nobel recipient too?
Yes, but that was in 2002, long after his term in office.
We actually bombed the moon on the day of the Nobel Prize announcement!
Seriously though, it was a middle finger to Bush more than anything.
He got that prize mainly for not being George W. Bush if I remember 2009 correctly.
Where was Donald Trump’s Nobel peace for not being Obama?
Best thing Obama did was pulling out of Iraq, finally leaving an illegal war, so hats off for that. But all his talk about envisioning a world free of nuclear weapons and then not even attempting disarmament of the US ones kinda seems weak.
I think his attempts to reestablish new diplomacy with Cuba and Iran were good.
Then Trump fucked it all up and Biden doesn’t seem to give a shit about going back.
Kudos to Obama for actually following through, but the withdrawal from Iraq had a deadline set by the U.S. Status of Forces Agreement signed by Bush, per the request of the Iraqi government.
Putin didn’t want to even talk about a new START and unilateral disarmament is irresponsible.
Lots of Peace winners, but Winston Churchill had one in literature:

Churchill was a master of historical non-fiction. Not “history books,” per se, but basically books about historical topics pertaining to England that interested him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_History_of_the_English-Speaking_Peoples. They were very popular during his day.
Oh yes, I’d forgotten about Winnie. I have a lot more respect for science and literature prizes than the peace prize though. Harder work, I reckon.
Nobel Laureate is a bit of an overstatement but she was part of an organization that won the Nobel Prize, similar to how Amnesty International has won it a few times:
She was a contributing author to the 2007 IPCC report, maybe not a huge deal (there were 100+ authors) but it is reasonably relevant. Here is a chapter that she contributed to (I don’t know if there is more than one) and her earlier work is cited.
Nice! Congratulations Mexico! 🇲🇽 🍾🥂
This smells like how Obama ‘got rid of racism’ in US. I wonder how the women deaths in Mexico are gonna lower in the followihg years…
Try not to project US problems on everyone else. The world is not the US.
Excuse my cynism, but I just see it very smart to learn from the mistakes of the neighbour.
Absolutely, but the solutions that work for one, might not work for another.
This is nonsensical.
