Tbf, it’s pretty funny that their idea of an own is to put Kamala into what is basically purgatory.

Might actually be true, given that the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964 in july, and LBJ went on to win a massive landslide victory over Goldwater in 1964’s november elections. The sheer margins that LBJ won with might also be why the republicans then went on to cater massively to the South to pry them away from the Democrats, since Southern democrats apparently make hating black people their highest political priority.

For added context, the LBJ to Humphrey dropoff came off the back of the Civil Rights Act, which permanently lost the democrats the South. So Biden to Harris is almost as big of a drop in support as the passing of the Civil Rights Act, except the Dems haven’t even fucking done anything this time.

Also LMAO that the largest drop in support for the dems was the one time they did something good post 1945. Truly a satanic country y’all have there.

Surely the furthest from a McDonalds have to be in either Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon, right? Like there’s so many McDonalds’ in America that you’d have to go to a national park to find someplace that didn’t have one.

He wasnt. It was someone from the Faroese Social Democrats, Danmarksdemokraterne, SF, and a guy who I couldn’t recognize but then learned was either Venstre or Moderaterne. But I did google them and they were all members of parliament and AFAIK none of them were in government (the people, not the parties).

Oh it’s not just the journalist / vermin. I was on a flight with a couple of politicians and overheard their discussions at the gate. They were all talking about the horrors of Gaza, while also saying that Israel had killed 18.000 HAMAS members (back when the casualty count was believably around 40.000). These weren’t junior MPs either, but party bigshots from some of the non-junta parties.

Somehow propaganda doesn’t happen here and Danish State Media is totally trustworthy, anyway time to interview the correspondant in Tel Aviv, who is mysteriously allowed to continue broadcasting.

Totally agree on PET being incompetent idiots, but when has the American Empire ever demanded that the comprador intelligence agencies be good at their jobs? They mostly just have to be loyal and willing to shed blood upon command, which both the Danish and Baltic services have shown themselves as.

If the Yanks have anything to say, the Danes and the Baltics will be given massively important roles in this service, since we are among the most Yankee-brained people in Europe, particularly our elites. Like, wasn’t Claus Hjort Frederiksen almost arrested for more or less bragging that he had ordered the FE to bug Merkel’s phone?
