Restrooms along the Norwegian Scenic Routes

In the Nordics the terms are not just "preferred" but unambiguously used this way.

The use to include any country other than Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, is something that will tend to really annoy Scandinavians, as we're generally consistent in that use and it's foreigners trying to tell is what names to use for ourselves.

It may be a losing battle, but it's not one we'll give up on.

Realistically even if they managed to accumulate a significant amount of money there would have been a lot of societal pressure to spend all of that during various economic downturns. How could a government that’s sitting on a fat pile of money ever justify cutting spending on the NHS or social services?

A similar thing happened between him and Merkel, when Trump didn't understand that the EU was a unified trading bloc with a common market and that making separate trade agreements with Germany was not possible. Trump allegedly asked Merkel more than 10 times why he could not do that.

I don't think Americans still understand what a laughing stock their president is to the rest of the world. This goes beyond personal sympathies and antipathies; he is objectively a very unintelligent person and his exceptionally poor manners make things only worse.

The painful lesson you should have learned was that you personally are not capable of coherent logic, so you always lose arguments, just like you're spectacularly losing this one.

Instead, you admittedly learned to easily lie through your teeth, and always tell people -- including yourself -- just what they want to hear. That's not winning an argument, that's surrender. The argument is over, and you sealed your loss with your own words.

No woman in her right mind would want to be around a MAGA incel like you, who worships and defends pedophiles. And it's a good thing -- as you've recently admitted yourself -- that every relationship you've ever had failed, because you pedophile defenders should not reproduce yourselves or ever be around other people's children. And that's why you'll always be alone with your AI girlfriend, because you debase and humiliate yourself by worshiping and defending pedophiles like Trump.

Edit: esuorac: "I mean the evidence speaks for himself. One of you two is president." -- this and the rest of your comment are incoherent non-sequiturs. I can't make heads or tails of what you're trying to say.

Please don't be coy and pseudorational like a neck-bearded libertarian. Be clear and unambiguous about your position, then justify it without handwaving or bald faced lying as anal_reactor does: do you support and defend rapists and pedophiles like anal_reactor does, or not? If you do, then explain your justification for not releasing the Trump-Epstein Files (TM).

"Equal time" isn't going to stop a narcissistic rapist pedophile with a cult of brainwashed followers like anal_reactor, who already surrendered this argument by admitting that since childhood he lies to tell people what they want to hear.

Since Hillary called Trump Putin's puppet during the debate, history has proven her absolutely correct. And when she called Trump supporters a "basket of deplorables", she was being polite and wildly understating it -- they're much worse than that. The fact that they took "deplorable" as a badge of honor and ran with it, and everything they've said and done since, proves her right.

It's not about us fucking pigs, it's about Trump lusting after his own daughter, fucking children, raping women, starting unwinnable wars, and bombing schoolchildren. And anal_reactor and his ilk condoning and defending that by lying for him. Why not release the Trump-Epstein Files (TM)?

Because it isn’t about his policies (and because it’s actually quite like turning an oil tanker, especially stuff like undoing tariffs).

Trump is a malignant narcissist. He’s a deeply unusual man.

The Democratic Party had one perennial fringe candidate, Lyndon LaRouche, who was dark-sided in a way Trump is. A really nasty, scary, creepy dude who fairly arguably ran a “business cult”, the LaRouche Group, who was held at arms length by the party.

It has had a few charming “political sociopaths” in the sense of driven people who can make arbitrary choices. It recently efficiently ejected a repeated power abuser (Eric Swalwell).

But nobody like Trump. People like him are rare (and dangerous when they achieve power)

Admittedly they did not hear about Paul Manafort’s connections to corrupt pro-Russian Ukrainian politicians, or his debts, or that he was mysteriously working for Trump for free, or that he successfully weakened the RNC platform language on providing weapons to Ukraine. They heard very little about the “adoptions” meeting. Fox didn’t cover that. But then it only got a little bit of coverage in mainstream US TV media because it is incompetent.

Both parties did not enable him. The Dems did not fight him adequately but they did not enable him. He wanted the shutdowns, but the only way not to have a shutdown would have been to make unacceptable concessions. And then he'd have increased his demands and the whole thing would have repeated. Whereas what he got out of the shutdowns is less than he went in with.

You could argue that the left-leaning parts of the media spent a bit too much time laughing at Trump and not enough time worrying about him, but from day one it was obvious who he was and that he had media clout.

25% of all eligible voters work jobs like service, retail, or construction where it is very hard if not impossible to get time off work to vote.

Although many states even have laws allowing people to have time off to vote, it's often 2 hours or less, which in many localities is not nearly enough to get through the line.

There are no real blanket voting protections across the country.
