Just can't remember where I saw it. This is what it said:
"MY ANCESTORS CAME FROM NORWAY IN 1850 AND SETTLED IN MINNESOTA. WHAT KIND OF IDIOT GOES UP AGAINST DESCENDANTS OF VIKINGS THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER?"

(104,008 posts)A couple days ago. I've spent some time in Minnesota in winter, Wisconsin and northern Illinois too. Nordic genes are used to winter conditions. I'm a quarter Finnish, I can only live in the northern states.
Most of those clowns participating in the invasion don;t know much about the cold and it will bite them real hard in a couple days. There will be so many sick and injured that they won't be able to function. Shitneck says he's calling in troops from Alaska but I don't think he realizes that most of them aren't from Alaska. They have had survival training but that only goes so far.

(104,008 posts)There, I'd close until they left. They're the kind who cause you to remodel the room after they leave.
I hope many are adversely affected by the cold, it's going to get real cold this week.

(24,637 posts)This is a bit of history every wannabe victor should read:

Of course, Hitler tried it also and froze all his little tushes off.
The US has tried it all around the world and eventually came limping home after causing horrible damage - both to other lands and to our own people.

(22,858 posts)The Grande Armée ceased to exist on the way back due to the cold and those pesky Russians nipping at their heals. Turned out to be a problem when Leipzig rolled around, seeing that the heart of the French Army that seemed invincible at Austerlitz, Jena and Friedland were picked over corpses on the snow covered fields of Russia and Poland.

I have read that the Danes were the most violent Vikings. Guess who settled Greenland.
Just keep poking that bear Donny.
