Norway (population: 5.7m) beats US (342m) to top Winter Olympics medal table.

Let's predict what will happen next? A poll:

1. "Terrorist" attack in Oslo
2. Assassination of the prime minister of Norway
3. Assassination of the CEO of the most successful Norwegian company (like it happened to Enrico Mattei)
4. Export of democracy to Norway and installation of a puppet dictatorship
5. Tariffs of 10000% on Norwegian exports (to be cancelled rigorously the next Taco Tuesday)
6. Hijacking of Norwegian ships and expropriation of their oil

For what was once a quirky joke, the stealing of #Greenland has become a touchstone for the moral corruption of the #TrumpRegime. It's #MightMakesRight attitude and framing of being a bully as a moral imperative is a danger to us all.

"It is not too much to conclude that in its darkest, bat-ridden heart of hearts, the Republican party has come around to accepting the violence of January 6 as an unusually effective long-term political strategy. They’re proud of it, as proud as their president clearly is because, as Jack Smith testified before the House Judiciary Committee," (continued in /2)
