Fatal flaw: Versus mode (PvP) with random strangers is almost always awful. Only well-balanced teams of roughly equal skill can have a good time, which is unlikely when playing with randos.

From what I can tell it's a tweet in which they "recommend" his nomination, rather than nominate him themselves.

While members of national legislatures are allowed to nominate people for a Nobel prize, national governments per se are not.

These are the same Senators who argued ex-presidents can't be impeached.
