Norway of all places. The country with some of the best ratings for quality of life, education, safety and nearly every other metric.
The reason, Iāll bet, is that people who are happy and well cared for are more difficult to exploit, which is the only metric his psychopathic brain cares about.
More like he still thinks Norway controls the Nobel prize and heās still mad he didnāt get it.
Exactly. Norway isnāt letting him exploit them.
Imagine being so dumb you think you deserve a peace prize for funding a genocide, starting wars and having a lawless Gestapo kidnapping people and dragging them to concentration camps for minor civil infractions
having a lawless Gestapo kidnapping people and dragging them to concentration camps for
minor civil infractionsnot being white
I visited Norway a couple years ago. It was a god damn fairy tail. Waterfalls and fjords everywhere. Pristine rivers, mountains and forests. Clean air and water. Amazing restaurants and public transportation. Everyone spoke English. I would live thereā¦easy. My only complaint is it is a bit expensive but the quality of live trade off would be worth it.
Everyone spoke English.
I get what youāre trying to say but saying this feels wrong. It just bothers me when Anglophones present this as some measure other nations should strive for.
I spent 12 most learning Norwegian. I never had to use it once. My grandfather spoke it, but was a bit stubborn so we never learned it. I was more stating basically everyone in Norway speaks the English, which is nice for many international travelers as it is a common denominator for communication. Norwegian is not very useful as a second or third language, but I did enjoy it.
If you were to move to Norway, knowing how to speak Norwegian would be socially beneficial. While just about every Norwegian can carry a conversation in English, itās mentally taxing enough that side conversations between Norwegians are done in Norwegian soon enough. And then itās only a matter of time until the main conversation is done partly in Norwegian.
Iāve seen a lot of international students feel left out, not because the Norwegians want to exclude them, but because itās less socialy draining to talk in the same language you think in.
Visit Oslo, it makes home depressing, unless you live in Oslo.
I doubt donnie dumbass even thought about it that hard or knows any of that.
He is just a man-baby throwing more ketchup on the wall because the black man got a prize and he didnāt. He will just never get over so many things - Obama having two terms and getting a prize that he didnāt being fairly high on the list.
He couldnāt make dark money hand over fist in Norway, so he canāt understand why anyone would want to be there.
No, it is just because he didnāt get the Nobel Peace prize. He doesnāt care about that other stuff in the slightest, because it is not about him.
Itās because they didnāt give him a Nobel. Narcissists are simple creatures.
The only reason is that they didnāt give him his gold fucking star that Obama got
At least we provide our citizens with basic things like health insurance as a right.
-All Norway has to say.
As a Norwegian, I would never call it health āinsuranceā. Itās just part of the social security that we pay taxes for.
Itās more like health assurance.
Well, the state is acting as a single payer for all health care its populace needs. The money is not going from you directly to the service provider. An example of that would be you paying someone to rotate your tires. Rather, the state is providing payment to the doctor for services provided to treat your health care needs. Thus, the state is acting as an insurer whose premium is the taxes you pay. You just get a whole lot of extras for the premium you pay (like road work, disaster relief, penalizing criminality, etc.). That is a textbook example of insurance.
*Edit: for those of you who doubt what I say, I ask you to look at history to as an illustration. When the US was last trying to adopt universal care under Obama, who was it that dumped the buckets of money on advertising to water it down to a mere marketplace from Romneycare? It was the private insurance companies. What was the main reform that got adopted in that in lieu of state coverage? That the insurance companies could no longer deny people with pre-existing conditions.
I mean, the state provides public schools, free for all aged ā5-18, but we donāt call it āeducation insurance.ā
No but you could call it dumbass insurance, that would be pretty cool.
but we donāt call it āeducation insurance.ā
Did you not see where I said this?
You just get a whole lot of extras for the premium you pay (like road work, disaster relief, penalizing criminality, etc.).
OK, they pay āhealth insurance premiumsā and just happen to get the rest of a working state as extras. Got it.
America brain is so weird sometimes.
So all my taxes are going to insurance somehow?
Public transport insurance?
Public school insurance?
Public road insurance?
Did you not see where I said this?
You just get a whole lot of extras for the premium you pay (like road work, disaster relief, penalizing criminality, etc.).
But, yeah, at a conceptual level, society is ultimately a safety net (synonym for insurance) when compared to the individualism from living pre-stone age.
Just say the guy was right already.
No itās notā¦ itās a textbook example of a social safety net. aka Social Security. aka what they said.
A safety net is an synonym for insurance.
No insurance is a scam losing as a safety net.
Anā¦ adjective? Did you mean to claim itās a synonym?
Fixed (itās late here), but glad you recognized my point.
but theyāre not synonyms either lol. Insurance is a very specific thing. It doesnāt just mean āAnytime you collectivize costsā or āa safety netā. Itās a specific business model used to cover specific losses of specific things.
This is very american-centric thinking. Its just a service provided by the state on a needs basis. Like a road, or the immigration office.
Time to take the keys away from gramps.
Agreed, on a separate subject, who the hell writes a 1300 word mini essay on a micro blogging platform, have to be a complete lunatic š¤ lol
Natalie.
Ohh good pointā¦the attention span required just isnāt there with dear leader lol
This guyās hasnāt driven himself anywhere in 30 years #JustEpsteinClassThings
With the em dashes Iām sure it was grok.
- Grok as dictated by Donald J trump Or something along those lines lol.
Grok: Presidential Edition
Now with Super Intelligence
Lol
Time to take him behind the shed and unload both barrels into him at point blank.
Dress him in a dogsuit and hand him to Noem.
Gut shot, the kind that takes hours or days
I wish any reporter would ask Trump a simple question like, āCan you say a number between 500 and 1000?ā or āWhat is the capital of the United States?ā or āName a country in North America.ā
He already failed āwhoās the president of the Virgin Islands*?ā
e: sorry, I mixed this up, it wasnāt Puerto Rico, it was the Virgin Islands.
To be fair, itās the same dumbfuckery.If you name everything America, you do bestly on cognitive tests.
āWhat are the middle names of your grandchildren?ā
Duhhā¦ he obviously knows America is in North America. Too easy!
/s lol
His answer?
āNorthā
Trump is such a moron š Anyone would be lucky to be born in norway.
To this day, I still have no idea why my Norwegian friend became a US citizen and started living here in the US
The US is actually a great place to live if you are a wealthy white person.
You could have left it at wealthy.
Then you still run the risk of getting randomly shot by ICE
Nah. If your rich and not white there are still major downsides. Itās definitely more important how much money you have these days, but like, racism is still extremely common.
Tgey turned on the pvp mode
I volunteer to go there and face the shitty conditions. ā¦ please?
(let me go back in there, and face the peril!)
Norwegian here. Most of us donāt care.
I for one feel very satisfied that Trump hates us. I take it as a huge compliment.
Nothing has grossed me out more than when Trump years ago said he wanted more Norwegian immigrants and less immigrants from āshithole countries.ā
To quote Rick & Morty: āYour boos mean nothing, Iāve seen what makes you cheer!ā
"**āHe knows very well that the Nobel committee is independent,ā **
I donāt think he is familiar with that concept.
Die faster, pedo.
Letās go thrombo!
I canāt wait until we donāt have to see his tantrums everywhere. One day everyone will forget all about him.
We had better not forget about him. Just like we had better not forget about all of the other monstrous people in our history and the monstrous things that theyāve done.
Meanwhile, people are already starting to think warmly of George W Bush, war criminal.
Trumpās just jealous because Norway is the whitest country on Earth.
Cause of all the snow?
That would explain his obsession with Greenland.
The 25th amendment sure seems great, if only in principle.
So does the 2nd amendment, though only in principle.

Honestly I was expecting Vance to already make his move by now. But I think heās just so unlikeable that he canāt convince anyone else to side with him.
he has no chance of magats rubbing off on him and gaining their support if he tries to grab power for himself.
Pretty sure thatās why Vance was chosen. Remember that Mike āmother wouldnāt approveā Pence wasnāt subservient enough for trump and went against him in the 11th hour.
It wonāt work though. All Trump has to do is say, āIām fine,ā and he can act as President again after being removed.
He already got the FIFA Peace Prizeā¢ š, why is he complaining?
Didnāt he win champion of the year from a congressional hopeful too?
That wasnt even a fire back. Straight up tell him to shut his dumbass up. Thats a fire back.
So, are you saying that the USAās healthcare and quality of life is worse than that of a shithouse country?
Because our healthcare and quality of life is inferior to Norwayās. According toā¦ everybody but you, you blathering dingus
