Because "Normay" Is a Common-Sense, Democratic Socialist Country, Where Every Citizen Has $1million

...where every citizen has $1,000,000 in their retirement account, thanks to their sharing the oil revenues with their citizens (like ALASKA does, btw). Every citizen also has access to free education and universal healthcare, and access to firearms is regulated by common sense. That's why the rate of Normegian immigration to the United States is essentially zero.

Thanks for starting the discussion on that, President Shit-for-Brains. Any other questions?

(The biggest irony is that I'm Norwegian by ancestry. My entire family migrated from Norway in the 1920s. Four of my great uncles fought in WWII, including one who fought in the Battle of the Bulge. I think they'd all be ashamed of what's happening to the Country now.)

UPDATE: (T/F)ucker Carlson just started his show by saying that Trump is correct, and the reason we don't get any immigration from Norway is because it's "the richest and most civilized country in the world, according to the United Nations." Wow. The little turd actually quoted the United Nations as a reliable source. More importantly, however, I see that they can no longer use the stupid talking point "If you want to live in a socialist country, why don't you go live in NORWAY!" Not now that Tucker Carlson has given Norway his endorsement, apparently.

(I have a feeling they're just going to keep hammering on Venezuela as the 'example' of a socialist country. Sweden is too much like Norway.)

..."If you want to live in a socialist country, why don't you go and live in SWEDEN!" Doesn't work anymore. Too much like Norway.

Also, these days, if some Republican shouts that at you, all you have to say in response is..."If you want to live in a Trumpian paradise...why don't you go and live in MOSCOW!"
