Anyone see Trish Regan make a complete fool of herself and get utterly stomped on by the internet?

She went on Fox Business Channel to try to take shots at the country of Denmark by comparing them to Venezuela and saying Danes are lazy entitled losers with low employment and no freedoms. And a Danish politican fired back and her and absolutely devastated her. The response has become way more viewed than Trish's original segment is.
i sort of never understood this hate of the democratic socialist northern european countries. they have damn lean and efficient economies and high metrics of personal satisfaction and happiness. ya can't just talk crap that away.
@VioletRayne the amazing thing to me is that the plebs have been trained to forget that they are the ones who generate this nation's 20T$ of capital. we're conned into believing it's upper and middle management, not labor. and the plebs have taken on an eroded esteem on the basis of that.

@BlueMetalChick [c=#4C0073]which is exactly what just happened with the housing market and mortgages that caused the economy to crash 🙄 There are literally tent cities in the richest, most powerful nation on earth and you’re looking to rich people to do what’s right?!? Please tell me when that has ever happened? [/c]
VioletRayne · 31-35, F
@CopperCicada [c=#4C0073]Yes, they forget that they have the power to tank entire Businesses. What do you think would happen if everyone started growing their food and refusing to shop at markets or started bartering instead of logging into amazon? [/c]

That's pretty great.

I've really begun to clue in that many people - but particularly the mainstream right - have no idea what the fuck political terms they're using actually mean. Political terms just get labelled with GOOD or BAD, and all the bad terms end up meaning the same thing.

So it means the politics of Venezuela right now, and the politics of Denmark as [i]exactly the same[/i] to them, despite being worlds apart. It's really odd.

How many politicians have even been to Venezuela. @CountScrofula @BlueMetalChick
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
@jackjjackson Most of the Venezuelan ones.

Actually it is the socialists that have been pulling the rich/poor con since the time of Marx. Such utter nonsense but stupid people think that socialism is just great despite its abject failure everywhere it is tried. sad little clueless people keep getting conned into thinking that somewhere out there someone else owes them a free trip around the sun.

@Pherick Yes I noticed that also, But i don't know how they operate thing there, but I have a suspicion, that they are closer to a european model than an American
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Pherick I think that's funny too. He should know firsthand. He opposes single-payer healthcare, or even public option healthcare, and wants a system more like Obamacare. Despite that he lives in a country where there's no such thing as 45,000 people dying every year from lack of basic healthcare, while America has that exact problem.

@Inquisator Indeed, I think they have a nice mix.

I visit Canada on a regular basis for work and have always thought they have alot of things going for them, government and social wise.
Seriously picking on the Danes? What did they do to anybody. Other than be a viking nation.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@canusernamebemyusername It's because they openly call themselves a socialistic democracy and take pride in the fact that their government uses their tax money for things that actually help their citizens instead of spending it on bombing everyone and their brother. And apparently the neocon shitheads over at Fox disapprove of that.
Government titles mean nothing in reality. Look at the democratic republic of the congo. Def neither demo or repub. America is supposed to be the world police in order to discourage things like nuclear proliferation. And it has helped but it has definitely caused arrogance. I'm sorry:(

@canusernamebemyusername North Korea is officially the DPRK, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. And it's certainly not a democratic republic.

But people just take a ball and run with it I guess.

People should stop taking shots at each other , it's not good , violence is never a good answer
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@OfflineFriend It wasn't violence, it was her trying to talk shit about another country. "Taking shots at someone" is slang for trying to trash talk them, not literally trying to punch them.
OfflineFriend · 22-25
Oh ok , still we shouldn't talk sh*t to other people
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
The Danes? Did she think they were not listening?
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Inquisator I used to live in Aarhus. Your country was very good to me. I wish I could have stayed longer but I was doing a lot of illegal shit and I was made to leave, which was probably for the better. I wound up in the Czech Republic after that.
Inquisator · M
@BlueMetalChick To bad you had to leave, How was Czech compared to Denmark
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Inquisator Honestly, I preferred Denmark, but I enjoyed the Czech Republic quie a lot too. I speak much better Czech than I do Danish or Dutch, so it was easier to communicate. Although I still miss the food in Denmark, Jesus Christ I'd go back just to eat.

I had an easier time doing what I was doing in Czech, but that's because it was against the law. If I had gone straight, I could have stayed in Aarhus and made a great living. But I was too fucked up at that point in time.

This is just delicious 😀
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@SW-User It elates me when shitheads like Trish Regan get made an example of 😂
Inquisator · M
It was kind of funny suddenly living in a country on the brink of civil war, surrounded by cupcake shops and unemployed citizens :-)
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Inquisator Cupcake shops 😂 I remember when she said that.
Inquisator · M
@BlueMetalChick I think someone should take the coffee away from her, She must be overdosing on that stuff :-D
SW-User
No I haven’t but that’s hilarious 😆
SW-User
Yes that was awesome.

Got a video link?
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Jm31xxx Here's the origina video by Trish Regan.

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSFfTG42Jl8]

And here's the response by Kristian Jensen, a Danish finance minister.

Inquisator · M
@BlueMetalChick The dude on the Danish Video is Dan Jørgensen, not Kristian Jensen (hes dosent have that kind of humor :-) )
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Inquisator The video must have mixed the two up then, it was labeled with Jensen's name. I'll leave a comment saying it's actually Jørgensen.
