All he wanted to do was place a wreath at the site of the Bowling Green Massacre. Sad.

Lutefisk must be a religion, because only initiates can stand it.

He looks sort of Middle-Eastern, so how would they know ?

If only he had booked the Trump Hotel, all these problems would miraculously disappear.

Bondevik said customs agents told him that he was stopped due to the Obama administration’s changes to the U.S. visa waiver program, which require extra scrutiny for those who have recently traveled to the same seven countries covered by Trump’s order.

OK, I read that sentence a few times to figure out why it sounds wrong.

If you focus on the words “Obama administration’s changes” and “same seven countries covered by Trump’s order” you realize this make zero sense.

And, as he pointed out, he’s got a goddamn diplomatic passport! Which should have been full stop. But no. But Rump.

Well, everyone knows there is no “real impact” unless you happen to be detained onsite in an airport on Friday evening between 6:00 pm - 9:45 pm. Why Sean Spicer, that paragon of truth, assured us of that just the other day.

Us libs, always nitpicking.

Can’t be too careful with these furriners.
