But we know that what's in the US' best interest and what's in the Donald's best interest don't always coincide.
Agree.
So RA : Who did you vote for in the last election? Trump or Harris ?
And can you argue for what you did ?

Good question. I'm on the other side of the world, but we hear plenty about Mr Trump's words and deeds. I se no evidence that Mr Trump is born again. And being born again is my definition of Christian.
Agree.

I'm a registered Independent. I didn't vote in the 2024 because I didn't feel either candidate was worth voting for. I don't subscribe to the "lesser of two evil" approach that says you must vote, even if both candidates are bad for the country.
Ok my friend.
By the way; your picture looks like Jesus in a Hollywood-movie. But that's ok mate....
It's from the 1993 film The Gospel According to Matthew with Bruce Marchiano. It was actually filmed and produced in north Africa. One of the stated goals of the production was to get away from a Hollywood production and feel. I love the movie and would recommend it.![]()
What do you mean; your statement "sponsorship" ?
Wow thanks for the laughs this morning Norway guy.
You’re great!
If the Don wants to work out some business arrangements with Greenland or Denmark, then work those out. If not, leave it alone.
You'll fit right in with the programmed left.
What do you mean; the "programmed" left ?
And how are the conditions on the "programmed" right side ?
Well my friend, in Norway it's like this:
We have have a progressive tax graph which means the richest ones pay more % of taxes than the not so lucky ones.
Let me take an example, converted into dollars for your convinience (numbers in dollars * 1000 per annuals) :
Income 15$ annualy: Tax 10%, left is 13.5 (please remember to multiply it with 1000)
Income 30$ annualy: Tax 20%, left is 24
Income 80$ : Tax 40%, left is 48
So, in my view, 48000 $ is more than enough to have a reasonable good life. Agree?
As I view it, a progressive tax system like we have it in Norway is a fair and good way of running the society. I am pretty close to saying that it's a way of running things close to what Jesus preached.
And that is interesting, being the fact that I am an atheist and do not think there is a God.
Try getting getting some of those rich people in Norway to buy you guys more than 6 submarines,4 frigates and 4 corvettes because that's just not much navy in naval terms. And 70,000 military personnel in Norway is just a tiny little military which branch are you in?
