   Marten/Egid, As I live in Sweden I’ll add some thought on the subject to both of you. True, over a longer (50+ year) period imigrants to Sweden are mostly from Finland but as both countries have alot of social/ethnical/cultural background in common the integration was less of a problem. The last 25(ish) years has seen a shift to Kurdistan(Turkey)/Middle East/Horn of Africa, where especially the Clan/Family way of life is predominant and THAT has caused alot of integration friction that Sweden has been horribly incompetent at handling, resulting in young nowadays only seeing joining crime/drug gangs as a way to earn a living (and quick cash).

   Ramirez, it’s not the Age that is the problem, it is the Ageing. If the Republican Party truly wants to win a landslide victory in November and show America that they care about their country the should nominate Nikki Haley in July.

   True, North vs South – East vs. West. The European countries are far more hetrogenous than the States in North America. And expanding even further east isn’t helping. But it is better than not having a union.

   Far from it – but in the larger countries they gained influence in the EU parliament – but less than predicted.

   When you can’t attack the argument, attack the person… totalitarian play book 1A. Micromind is probably not the worst insult on the net nowadays but I have not in anyway been impolite here so no need for you to start!

   My bad – disinfectant, not bleach, but otherwise YES HE DID. Look up “President Trump Suggests ‘Injecting’ Disinfectant as Coronavirus Cure | NBC New York” on that famous videoplatform. NBC is a pretty serious news channel – it’s not fake.

   The office of President of the United States is a quite serious one – but there are occasions when a laugh is appreciated. When holding a press conference about how to handle a pandemic that spread like wildfire isn’t one of them. I DID see it on Swedish TV to, even though I haven’t revisited for this post and my memory of his suggestion didn’t include any kind of humor in either body language or tone of voice.

    You mean Trump, right – the guy who suggested injecting bleach into your bloodstream?
