  1. When you've got nothing, you try to make it personal. Whether I'm triggered or not is irrelevant. Your comment "as wrong as that was , technically at least it was more beneficial to the nations genetics than uncontrolled immigration" is clear evidence of bigotry.
  2. Thanks for the stupid generalization. Given that you were trying to downplay the generosity of Norway, you were blaming the Norwegians, who were conquered by Nazi Germani, for not assisting in WW2. Totally bonkers!
  3. OK. So what? He wanted her to look good on the screen. Since when is being helpful proof of a master/puppet relationship. It is to laugh. Just the fact that you even bring this up, demonstrates your obsessiveness.
  4. Given that you apparently don't have a problem with being a bigot, that says it all.
  5. You blamed them for not contributing to WW2. "Yes its contribution to ww2 was Immeasurable ( as there was none)" What don't you understand about the fact that Norway was defeated by the Germans who invaded their country. Did you expect it to contribute to the anti-german war effort once it was occupied? This is nuts! And, of course, how would WW2 be relevant today?
  6. So semi-excusing one bigoted comment, followed up by another.
  7. Thank you for a further example of your lunacy. To a rational person, this would just be a case of someone having a hard time understanding someone else on the phone.
  8. Are you blaming the Norwegians for being defeated and occupied by the Germans? Does that include Norwegian Jews who were sent to death camps? Out of all nations, Norway has the highest per capita rate in giving foreign aid.
  9. What I know is that being assisted in asking questions isn't the same thing as giving orders. Although, given Trump's increasing irrationality, it would be a welcome development if that was the case. Also, there's what to you is the minor fact the Plaskett is a non-voting member of Congress. Do I have to point out to you the difference in their status and governmental power?
  10. But, given it's size, it's far more giving than the US.
  11. More nonsense from you. Why would the House Democrats publish that photo if they didn't want to keep stirring the pot. And another issue is now grabbing the headlines, Like the attacks on the boats. And who says that Plaskett coordinating with Epstein was a scandal? Is it a scandal when the police work with criminals. He knew where the bodies were buried. This is only an obsession of the extreme right. Like the conspiratorial obsession with the identity of the person who placed those pipe bombs. And can you be honest enough to concede that you keep getting the facts wrong on the matter of those 51 so called "intel chiefs".
  12. Your low standard for evidence is epitomized by your claim that I live in China. How did you arrive at that? Did you use the I Ching? Anyway, it's of a piece with the lack of evidence you offer to implicate most Somalis in this fraud.
  13. Sure. They've forgotten all about it. That's why they didn't release photos of his property in the Caribbean. Oh ...what a minute... House Democrats release new images of Epstein’s private Caribbean island https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/03/epstein-caribbean-island-new-photo-video-release
  14. 1) First off, it's not clear that the Supreme Court will let the US keep that money if it rules against the tariffs. Second, even if the Courts does rule in favor of the tariffs, Trump originally promised that money would go to keeping down the deficit. It's not at all clear the Republicans are going to along with that. And no, Trump doesn't have the right to do that unilaterally. 2) There is no point in once again explaining to you at lengths why you got that wrong. Just one of your many errors is calling them "Intel Chiefs". They were ex-Intelligence officers. And far from all of them could be fairly described as "chiefs". And it has been repeatedly explained to you that the public wasn't misinformed. Given the circumstances and closeness to the elections, their cautions were perfectly respectable. What wasn't respectable was publishing info from the computer without vetting it first. Which is why it was published in a media source with low standards: the NY Post. Giuliiani admitted that responsible sources wouldn't accept the info from him without corresponding data to prove its authenticity. Data he refused to hand over.
  15. I thought that was Jesus 2.0 formerly known as Charles Kirk.
  16. Thank you anonymous poster on aseannow.com. Why wouldn't I take your word over, say, the article I cited where the local people whose names and positions are given, don't seem to share your opinion? Why can't I accept that being a member of aseannow.com is a guarantee that a member is of good character and faithful to facts?
  17. Well, I kind of doubt that Martin Luther King would agree with the common right wing belief that discrimination against black people no longer exists in a serious way in the USA. But since we can't be sure of that, what we can be sure of is that it's such an important holiday that federal workers get a day off. And replacing that with Trump's birthday? This is the kind of stuff that until Trump came along would have been abhorrent along pretty much the entire political spectrum.
  18. I think Novacova has it right. Rugby is basically gay rough sex. Which I guess means it could be considered beautiful in its own way.
  19. It's a pity that your joke doesn't work to support that sentiment. Now maybe if you had made a joke like "Maybe white liberals should pay double in order to let black people in for free", that would be the kind of joke that at least supported what you were trying to get at. It would have been a stupid joke, but at least it would have made sense in that context. "But you already knew that. " Another right wing mindreader.
  20. Given that permanent brain damage is a common consequence of playing football, and that black players afflicted with the syndrome were being discriminated against when it came to payouts, I concur. Trumpball is an excellent choice.
  21. You think that the way to honor MLK's sentiments is to remove his birthday from the list? Maybe the Trump administration should honor those sentiments even more by trashing his gravesite.
  22. All 80,000 of them. Are those workers in the turkey processing plant stealing gizzards. As for being taken in by the most giving country in the world, this thread is not about Norway.
  23. So a good way to do that is to alienate Canada and encourage them to forge more economic ties elsewhere?
  24. So instead, he's decided to inflict more.
  25. The citizens of Quebec are "communists to the core"? It's blazingly evident that after you finish telling your Canuck friend about what's really going on in Canada, he still won't have a clue.
