Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's almost cute, he's angry at Norway for not awarding him with a prize that Norway doesn't even give out. Truly a great mind of our time.

So it's not completely out of whack (just very much so), at least not more than sending that letter to Sweden
The Parliament is not the Prime Minister
🤔 yeah, almost. A murderous clown is still foremost a murderer.
Tbf, the most that most Americans know of Norway is Ikea, Swedish Fish, and the Swedish Chef from muppets.
Forget Norway.
Now, Kenya on the other hand...
Am I missing the joke? IKEA is Swedish which is "almost the same" ( not America, fish, strange language, somewhere in northern Europe, Eskimos and Penguins [both wrong, but who cares?]) as Norway but still not really the same.
No that's the joke. To Americans...Denmark, Norway, and Sweden may as well be one country.
I always get Sweden and Switzerland confused but that's mainly because of the alliteration. I gotta think twice about where my cheese comes from.
What's wrong with Gouda? /s
I had some once, it gouda tasted better.
As someone from Sweden I always assumed they meant our wild variety of weird fish dishes when USA Americans joked about Swedish fish. But no, it's of course a candy. Really goes to show my overestimation of the average USA American's familiarity with foreign cuisines.
This could be cured by a public demonstration of Røttenstønkøren or what ever that infamous, "aromatic" canned fish is called.
You mean our glorious fermented fish - Surströmming. If so, I propose we send several cans to each person involved in this administrarion. Daily. Set to open the minute they enter the building.
(Pro tip: Swedish doesn't use the Danish/Norwegian ø, we write ö to express the same sound)
It's not a staple there?
Not really. I think I may have seen them in stores once or twice, but in the tradition of picking from a large wall of candy every Saturday, I don't think I ever saw them in any bin.
Norway? More like Snoreway... Kenya's where the giraffes are, and the zebra; Kenya believe it?
