ALERT! Warships and attack planes from Denmark spotted near the North American Coast!

[Armstead]

They are said to be loaded with crappy furniture and crushing taxes to undermine the American Way.

Comrade Sanders has been notified, and is prepared to lead the Socialist Barbarian Hordes into battle.

That is all.

[randys1]

1. Finally, what took em so long

[JaneyVee]

2. I don't understand the snark and hostility...

Bernie himself points to Denmark, over and over and over again, yet some here are acting like this is some fabricated smear. Perhaps he should explain better.

[NuclearDem]

6. I can't wait until this particular tantrum is done with.

There are completely legitimate questions about how one would go about implementing the social and fiscal policies of a country with half the population of New York City in a country of 320 million, but apparently we have to throw a ridiculous strawman tantrum beforehand.

[Armstead]

8. There are completely legitimate questions

But they needn't be tied into misleading conservative-style scare tactics.

[mindwalker_i]

14. Don't worry, there will be plenty more tantrums

to follow.

[sabrina 1]

42. Wll, so long as that Dark Money is flowing into Super Pacs, like David Brock's

the temper tantrums will be paid for and they will keep coming. And we will continue to have fun with them.

Let them keep on throwing their silly tantrums, let them waste all that corporate money on their latest smear attempts and they will continue to be frustrated, wondering why they aren't working.

[AlbertCat]

40. implementing the social and fiscal policies of a country with half the population of New York City

"implementing the social and fiscal policies of a country with half the population of New York City " is now the same a 'Could learn a lot"?

Now...who's having a tantrum?

[Armstead]

7. Sander did not say "Oh letls raise everybiody's taxes to the level of denmark tomorrow"

The snark is because Denmark is suddenly touted as the Evil Empire. Strange how some Democrats are starting to sound like Republicans. No way in Hades would his election mean that suddenly he's going to unilaterally raise everybody's taxes through the roof.

Sanders said we could learn from them. And we should certainly look at what they have done successfully and see how we might tailor it to the US..Same with many other countries.

[Go Vols]

3. lol

[beam me up scottie]

4. LMAO!

Literally, I woke up the dog again.

[portlander23]

5. Danish Army Knife

[Perogie]

35. There was a recall

[SoapBox]

46. ROFLMAO

[beam me up scottie]

9. Come over to the Dark Side,

we have cookies:

[Capt. Obvious]

15. God I used to hate those tins

I can't tell you how many times I opened them expecting cookies only to be disappointed with sowing needles and thread.

[beam me up scottie]

17. Schrödinger’s Cookies!

[NCTraveler]

24. Three of the funniest responses I have ever read here.

I smiled at the first one, had a moment of understanding with the second, then you throw down a hilarious image that flows perfect. Truly loled.

[beam me up scottie]

27. Cats and dogs can get along!

Especially when kibble is being discussed!

[HooptieWagon]

54. ROFL!!!

[Armstead]

21. I always through they tasted like sweetened dog bisquits

[AlbertCat]

38. sowing needles?

[PoliticAverse]

51. So I wasn't the only one! n/t

[Hydra]

22. And ice cream!

[beam me up scottie]

25. I hope Bernie raises taxes enough to pay for gym memberships for everyone!

I gained 5 lbs. just looking at that masterpiece!

[sabrina 1]

44. I love those cookies!

[beam me up scottie]

52. I do too!

But homemade Spritz cookies are better.

[3catwoman3]

59. Homemade Spritz...

...are the BEST! I make at least 12 dozen every December and they disappear as fast as snowflakes in a heat wave.

[beam me up scottie]

61. So good when they're warm out of the oven.

My mom also used to put the dough into a cookie press, make a strip, spread marmalade or preserves on it, cover with another strip, bake and then cut into diagonal cookies.

[3catwoman3]

68. My grandmother would make them in the summer for family reunions.

Christmas cookies in July! Such fond memories. I like mine just slightly underbaked.

[sadoldgirl]

10. To the Danes' credit: They have only three

boats for military purposes. Or are you saying that
they send all their little fishing boats over here?
Hey, that would be fun! A Danish Armada!

[LiberalArkie]

11. I welcome our new Non-corporate overlords.

[Bluenorthwest]

12. Shameless open faced sandwiches, akvavit, Lego.....

The horror. The horror.

[Armstead]

13. Oh I forgot Lego

The horror. The horror.

[catchnrelease]

37. Legos are deadly!

Haven't you ever stepped on one in the dark?

When I have visited my grand kids, I always do a sweep of the floor before I go to bed. I know there will be at least one lego waiting for me to step on if I get up to head to the bathroom during the night!

[sabrina 1]

45. Legos are virtual WMDs. Very wise of you to do a clean sweep before going to sleep.

[Scootaloo]

53. They can keep the akvavit.

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. I like cream cheese and apricot Danish - I hope those are on-board!

[Armstead]

33. Those are on the approved rations list comrade

[Howler]

18. Bwawahahahaha!!! Nt

Nt

[sabrina 1]

19. Didn't they already land here a few centuries ago, took a look around and left??

Even back then I guess things were better in Denmark??

[Armstead]

20. They missed their socialist paradise back home

[Bjornsdotter]

23. Best Answer Ever!

[SoapBox]

48. I was thinking they looked at us and our mess...

And ran screaming back to the Continent!

[sabrina 1]

49. I imagine the same thing will happen when they land here again!

[bluedigger]

26. I eagerly await my Danish overlords.

[aidbo]

70. Shield maiden Lagertha!

[redstateblues]

28. Bernie Sanders will usher in a Socialist paradise

It's gonna be huge!

[redstateblues]

29. The Swedish band ABBA is poised

to make a comeback once Bernie is in power!!

[MisterP]

30. Greenland has already fallen! I repeat, Greenland is theirs!

?

[Zambero]

65. Although sadly...

Given unabated warming of the polar regions, this massive Danish enclave will eventually be reduced to an islet the size of Puerto Rico once the ice sheet melts away and the coastline recedes.

[central scrutinizer]

69. But the bananas and mangos grown there

Will be coveted world wide

[Half-Century Man]

31. I'll be late.

I had to finish washing the Volvo.

[Autumn]

32. They gonna impose that socialism on all of us!!!!!!!

[Art_from_Ark]

34. False alarm

The crappy furniture is actually headed for Greenland.

[WillyT]

36. LOL !!!

[AlbertCat]

39. Great!...... Danes....

[sabrina 1]

50. 'Something is rotten is in the State of Denmark!'

Maybe it's the cheese?

[Armstead]

55. Alas poor Scoobie, I knew him well

[Todays_Illusion]

41. Should we try to get on board, are they taking the third world citizens of the U.S.A.? nt

[FairWinds]

43. And a "Røget ål"

in every pot!!

[FairWinds]

47. Mmmmmm . .

[Adsos Letter]

56. Remember Jutland!

...or something.

[AlbertCat]

63. Speaking of Jutland... and "Mmmmmmm..."

[The Roux Comes First]

57. Vague Suspicion of Multiple Failures to Invoke Sarcasm Tag

Otherwise some pretty creepy stuff. Mere inability to make distinction between home of IKEA, assumed slur target on furniture, i.e. Sweden, and Denmark is pretty telling. In my mind, has to be intended as slightly lazy humor/sarcasm in the mind of OPer.

And meanwhile, what a refreshing change from "USA, USA, USA!" We here I suspect are pretty united in understanding that we could learn a lot and have a lot to learn from other countries. Even small ones. Many with a much longer history including a lot fewer wars and less chest-beating over "patriotism."

Meanwhile, as long as we are mixing Scandinavians, where do I find me some good old fashioned Surströmming here at home? I've never tried it and understand that you never open a can indoors because the stench is amazing. I am coming around to trying it, but not prepared to go to Sweden on that account!

[Armstead]

62. Ooops

[Zorra]

58. VIKINGS! Oh, nooooes!

[Recursion]

60. They had a border dispute with Canada (yes, Canada) that got ugly for a bit

http://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/canada-denmark-reach-truce-on-island/

[Zambero]

64. Once ashore, IUD's will be cleverly concealed in Copenhagen tins

Oh the horrors!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

66. They have a secret weapon.

Not so funny now, is it.

[Armstead]

67. Unleash the Krakken!
