Trump.

Norwegians aren't coming to live in the USA anytime soon.

Trump is a fan of Norwegia because of the socialism of its most important assets.

I think you mean they Nationalized all oil exports? I lived there for a winter season and the set up they have going in that country is what Canada should strive for.

Post secondary- Covered, Childcare, covered. Although they only have 5 million people, they said forget being bought out by foreign corporations. Something we should have done years ago. We have been sold out so bad, hate to think about it.

Canada is the most foreign owned country on the planet next to Lichtenstein.

the liberals not being able to handle the truth when it is the conservatives that voted for the pathological liar.

Beneath the Surface....... 

When I shook hands with Eric Greitens following the 2016 debate for Missouri Governor, none of us on the Green team imagined that, a year before, he had tied a woman up, blindfolded her, undressed her, photographed her and warned that he would release the photo if she ever said what happened. The story made local and US news on January 11, 2018 when the now-Governor Greitens followed his “State of the State” address with an admission that he had had an affair, that he and his wife had come to terms with it, and they wanted to get on with their lives.

The woman was Greiten’s hair stylist in 2015, when he asked her to his home. After an erotic chit-chat he invited her to his basement for a “real thrill.” There, he allegedly taped her wrists to exercise equipment and began undressing her. In a report from her husband, who secretly taped her confession, she had not objected to anything at that point. But she said she became terrified when seeing a camera flash from edges of the tape covering her eyes and heard the threat “You’re never going to mention my name, otherwise this picture will be everywhere.”

Boss Tweet’s Generals Already Run the Show

Much has been written about our Twitterer-in-Chief and the tortured response to his presidency, particularly within the GOP. As a recent example, Frank Bruni of the New York Times lamented the fate of Senator Lindsey Graham, who has now become one of Donald Trump’s biggest defenders on mainstream shows such as “Meet the Press”. Bruni, however, reminds us that during the presidential campaign of 2016, Graham described then candidate Trump as the “world’s biggest jackass”, even as he now praises POTUS, thereby personifying “his party’s spastic, incoherent, humiliating response to Trump across time and its fatally misguided surrender.”

There is method to the apparent mad about-face by Graham and others in the GOP. As for the so-called #TheResistance, most are still so obsessed with the Mueller investigation that they have failed to see that a soft coup has already taken place under their collective noses (indeed, with their recent approval of the FISA courts, it appears that the Democrats’ cries of alarm about the fate of our Republic are but crocodile tears). Why impeach Boss Tweet when he is so good to the Military-Industrial-Congressional-Complex (MICC) and the economic Oligarchs, while providing distracting entertainment to the masses and the press? If it takes a new Cold War and a further subversion of our democracy to kneecap Donald Trump, well, one is all for it.

In short, Boss Tweet* has become the DC Swamp’s useful idiot and he will do as he is told with the help of Republicans in Congress, like Lindsey Graham (as well as many complicit Democrats – who have been sucked into the vortex of the renewed Cold War, in part by virtue of their opportunistic embrace of “Russiagate” – not to mention the corrupted intelligence community). Trump can eat all of the Big Macs he wants, release his inner Klansman to his heart’s content, amuse himself by watching “Fox & Friends”, and enrich his family, so long as he plays ball with “his generals”, the Koch Brothers, Wall Street, Big Pharma and the rest of the One Percenters. So long as James Mattis gets to feed the big bucks to the MICC unhindered, or Charlie Koch gets a free ride by the Environmental Protection Agency, life will remain good at the White House for the First Family. There will be no impeachment or invocation of Article 25, because the president has been neutered.

I think adding the modifier of "GOP" is unwarranted.  Those seeking political power who have reached the upper-echelons of their party exhibit all of these behaviors.

He hasn't been neutered.  He still has more executive power than any president before him thanks to the ever-growing list of powers each president has managed to grab ahold of.  He is an idiot, that we can all agree on, but his usefulness only goes as far as he can be controlled, and he cannot be controlled.  They are taking full advantage of the fact that the boss is a moron, but he is impetuous and his actions are based on how he feels about people.  They can control that to a degree, but if he doesn't like someone, or worse, thinks that someone profited at his expense, he will burn the whole thing down for revenge and they know that.  The GOP would be much happier with a full on team player like Pence behind the wheel.   The main reason they are getting their wishlist fulfilled is that they are in control of every branch of government, so I highly doubt they are super stoked about the current guy that is sending their approval rating into the gutter and all but guaranteeing congress will turn blue next year.

You think the USA is fucked right now under Trump? Wait until that fat cow Oprah gets in. OMG, the yanks are truly screwed if there is even a discussion about her & politics.

Could be easy to discredit her given she helped foist Obama upon the world.
