From Norway. Former photojournalist, now an IT sysadmin. Passionate about photo, tech, news, and politics. Have followed US politics for almost a decade. Still can’t understand how Americans managed to elect the moron Donald Trump as president - twice!

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

Elon Musk is supporting fascism in Germany — and in Texas. He‘s a threat to peace and freedom worldwide.

Finally! This is great news for us here in Norway: Air Canada is launching a nonstop route between Toronto and Oslo. First ever nonstop route between the two countries. Now I’m planning a trip to Canada next summer! 🇨🇦😊 e24.no/naeringsliv/...

Thank you! He lived to be 89. A truly good and decent man. He included and respected everyone, regardless of gender, religion, sexual orientation, or skin color. He will be deeply missed by all of us here in Norway—even by those of us who believe the monarchy is an outdated form of government.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. The seventh richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Nobody is vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, and Trump knows it. This is a visible example of his corruption--a no-bid contract to some crony followed by sky-high cost overruns, and shoddy construction to boot. Classic Trump: I didn't fuck up, it was my enemies.

Press freedom keeps falling. (No, we're not surprised.) Norway ranks #1 and the US is #64 this year, down seven places from last year. The researchers blame Trump's "repeated attacks on the press and journalists" becoming "a systematic policy" during his second term. rsf.org/en/classemen...

Trump keeps posting that America was once the laughingstock of the world, but now that he’s president, it has never been more respected. As a Norwegian, I can 100% confirm that Donald Trump is a laughingstock here up north.
