The Norwegian government is staying fairly quiet for now, but as a sign of the shifting vibe here the former head of Norway’s armed forces has come out and called the US a “neo-fascist banana republic” and a “hostile great power without norms”. www.dn.no/politikk/tid...
Tidligere forsvarssjef om Trumps USA: – Neo-fascistisk bananrepublikk (+)
Tidligere forsvarssjef Sverre Diesen mener USA er blitt «en normløs og fiendtlig innstilt stormakt», og advarer samtidig mot å feste vår lit til Europa. Harald Sunde mener det haster med en plan B.

At about the 35-second mark the officer says "IF YOU FUCKING MOVE I'LL FUCKING TASE YOU," followed immediately by "GET OUT OF THE FUCKING CAR RIGHT NOW."
Which contradictory order are you supposed to follow, knowing that either could get you tased? Or worse?

Let’s assume for a sec that he has no power in Congress.
Two big problems as I see it with his posture.
One is that he does have power of the bully pulpit. Not nearly as much as the president does, but he can get on any prime time news program any time.

The political spectrum under Trump according to me.
1. People appalled and terrified by what is happening and what is yet to come.
2a. People who have only a vague idea of what is going on and don't believe it can be that bad.
2b. As above, but they are angry at 1 for "being hysterical"

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.
