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.

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?

But, given it's size, it's far more giving than the US.

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".

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.

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

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.

I thought that was Jesus 2.0 formerly known as Charles Kirk.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So a good way to do that is to alienate Canada and encourage them to forge more economic ties elsewhere?

So instead, he's decided to inflict more.

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.

And to encourage that he's doing his best to separate the Canadian economy from the US economy. If you exempt Canadian oil from the economic equation, Canada actually bought more from the US than it sold to the US. And as for that oil, Trump was gung-ho for a second keystone pipeline.

I didn't see that one but you can be damned sure that if I had seen it, I would have given it the thumbs down. And not just because I'm paid by Microsoft (as well as .the International Communist/Antifa party) to keep the sheeple connected.

As a joke, that would have worked if it was made when MLK and Juneteenth were first included on the free entry lest. But since this was about them being cut from the list, it's just dumb.

Doublethink.

So there are roughly 80,000 Somalis, the current estimate of how man ethnic Somalis there are in Minnesota, currently being prosecuted or investigated for fraud? Does that include those workers in the turkey processing plant in Willmar? How about these hardened criminals? "The Somalis arriving in the past few decades have changed the face of downtown, renting apartments and opening businesses in the storefronts. Some display colorful clothing and rugs, and many of the restaurants serve a traditional Somali spiced tea with steamed milk and lots of sugar. “They are very entrepreneurial,” said Obregon, Willmar’s community-growth director. Now Hispanic and Somali children make up the majority of children in the local school. Vicki Davis, a city council member and parateacher in special education, said her first-grade class of 22 students has only four white children, including one Ukrainian. “It’s fun to see them play together,” she said. “One of the Somali girls’ hijabs will fall off and all of the girls are like, ‘Oh, my goodness, let’s help her.’ It’s just really sweet.” https://archive.ph/VW9hv#selection-2587.0-2603.88 Sending Somalis out of the country would be a blow to Willmar’s economy, officials said. https://archive.ph/VW9hv#selection-2587.0-2603.88

Millions of immigrants from Eastern Europe and Italy emigrated to the USA to escape their corrupt and brutal governments. And the consequence of this wave of immigration was the destruction of America?

So funny. The same people who complain about DEI giving unfair boost to people based on their race or ethnicity rather than treating them as individuals, have no problem with denigrating people based on their ethnicity rather than considering them as individuals.
