When I watched The Man in the High Castle and The Handmaid’s Tale I had no idea they were portraying America’s dreams and desires.

Why the heck is orange douche even commenting… ah, ofc, to look after daddy Putin.

Haha, I didn’t know they did that, and it sounds like a fun read. Does anyone have a link?

The Norwegian postal service announced they’re halting shipment of all parcels with a value below $800 to the US, starting today, as there’s just too much uncertainty around return processes and responsibility.

I’m starting to wonder if picking idiots to run a country isn’t such a grand idea. /s

Mhm. I’d argue that had he actually been a savvy businessman he never would’ve had a show like that.

Exactly, and the supposed victims were all kidnapped and sent to Guantanamo Bay.

This is why, if you ask a new yorker how they experienced 9/11, their response will more than likely be; “9/11? I think you mean 7/11, and there’s one right over there”

The US embassy in Norway sent a letter to their electricity and heat provider (Hafslund), demanding that they stop any DEI type activities within the company.

Hafslunds’ response was, in short, “we can stop providing power and heat, no problem”.

They just know that trying to appease, or make a deal with, a country where a blabbering idiot is behind the wheel is pointless.

Ah, I forgot to mention that I live in Norway, and over here debit cards started taking over from check use in the 80s.

I last remember seeing my mom write one in the mid 80s. Personally I’ve never used one, and I’m pushing 50.

Add to that how most poor people in the US are in that situation because they live in a every-man-for-himself society, created and maintained by the rich because infighting among the populace keeps them from looking higher and wider to solve their problems.

I’m so sorry, I meant to say except Bernie - the man is a legend.

Seems all the doers over there are busy sending the country, and indeed the world, down the crapper.

It may well be just the picture painted by the publications I tend to read, but it’s easy to get the impression that the democrats have fallen more or less silent (Bernie excluded), while the republicans are spewing shit from mountain tops all day long. Is that how you American folks feel, too, or is it just my news sources that are failing me?

Edit: I meant to say Bernie not included!

Oooh, that takes me back. I have a double CD around here somewhere, Clubbers Guide to Trance, 1999.

I never considered how devastating the collapse of the Berlin wall must’ve been to some Americans. /s

love America because it doesn’t have kings

I’m not convinced a president who can act with greater impunity than a king in any modern monarchy is better.

I read that a lot, “we don’t have a king, thank cod”. Is it because you’ve seen what a hell hole e.g. the Scandinavian countries are? /s

A king in a modern monarchy is nothing more than a representative of the country. He cuts ribbons and holds encouraging speeches on New Year’s. That’s pretty much it.

What a moronic and absolutely disgusting person she is. It’s almost hard to believe this isn’t a fictitious clip from a movie or something.

What’s the feeling over there… if Trump tomorrow announced a military invasion to free Canada from fascists or whatever, would the military comply and start gunning down Canadians? I know there are a few more steps to it before such action can be taken (or at least I hope there are), so I suppose what I’m wondering is if there are enough Americans who think Canada is evil to happily rise to the challenge?

An absurd thought, but these are absurd times.

…the most corrupt agency in Washington D.C.” and “a giant rot and burden to the America taxpayer –- a national security risk for this nation.” - Kari Lake

Phew, thank heavens you have brilliant minds looking out for you, America! /s

Everyday they gulp up more words that make no sense whatsoever.

He shook as he watched her disappear. He thought, “What the f— do I do?”

Too late to ask that now - you wanted a hateful moron in charge and you got your wish.
