Yeah, but you gotta hand it to him: Not many people can empty a wine bottle while giving it a vacuum sealed blowjob. The man must’ve mastered some kind of circular breathing technique.

Anyway, I don’t think you supposed to remember what individual politicians used to do or say. How are they going to gaslight you into thinking they aren’t hypocrites if you’re capable to recalling more than last week?

Oddly, Løkke has been somewhat uncharacteristically competent in his current role, especially with regards to Ukraine. Then you’ve got people like Troels who might say all the right things, at least until an opportunity to take a knee in front of the nearest demanding American, stroke their thighs and look adoring up at them for permission presents itself. Arms dependencies, tone deaf diplomatic entanglements and support for stationed American soldiers not subject to Danish law comes to mind there. The latter reaffirmed just before Hegseth comes out and declares a purge of insufficiently compliant JAGs, which for reasons I cannot comprehend didn’t get Troels off his knees either. He must really like it down there.

At least Løkke is offering some - token - opposition here. Okay, it’s not much, and it’s probably about is practically useful as a chocolate teakettle, but it is barely better than nothing, I guess.
