PIVOT
Ok, ok ……….
We’re not friends. Step-and-Fetch-It-Obama the out going puppet of the FWRM (fat, white, rich, men) and Tubularsock belong to different clubs.
So when Barack contacted Tubularsock to “take a meeting” with him, well ………
It only meant one thing …… Barack needed a fall guy and Biden couldn’t do it because he may be headed for a post in Killary’s Administration.
You may not recall but Tubularsock early in Barack’s Administration held the cabinet post of Secretary of the Inferior and was extremely popular.
Don’t recall: News Before It Happens …. Secretary of the Inferior, Missing!
Anyway, the bottom line is that Barack has asked Tubularsock not to bring up the fact that:
Guantanamo is still open for business.
The war in Afghanistan still continues.
The war in Iraq still continues.
The war in Libya still continues.
And Barack has added to that
The war in Syria AND
The war in Yemen AND
Starting in 2014 Barack carried out 674 military missions across Africa. And by
2016, you do the math!
And then add the special ops raids, the drone strikes, the “training missions” and the African Continent is well covered with American killers.
And all this has been accomplished by a Nobel Peace Prize Winner!
WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT THE SWEDES?***
*** Political tactical note: this is called a pivot. A pivot is when one shifts the focus from the point of the discussion to a false narrative. (This was a Tubularsock teaching moment)
Tubularsock 
Wow! I didn’t even twig to your sleight of hand, there, it was so smoothly done. Bravo, Tubes! Bravo! From war crimes to more war crimes and then suddenly! — well, what’s up with the Swedes, anyway, eh? Which naturally leads to the question of why Martin (Kim Bodnia) really quit the series? Not that I really care, because my crush is really on Saga (pronounced, “Soyga,” and played by Sofia Helin, whom, if I ever meet in real life, I hope is as Asperger-ish as the character she portrays in ‘The Bridge,’ one part Dirty Hairy, and two parts Carrie-Anne Moss playing the part of a goat, and that in the moment of our first encounter, she has an urgent itch to scratch and because no one else is handy, asks me to oblige. I wouldn’t decline. No, but I wouldn’t, not at all.) But yeah, what’s up with the Swedes, eh? It just makes what is already surreal, surreal-ler . . . I mean about the Peace Prize, of course, and not about the neurologically broken blond bombshell in the green leather pants.

Thanks Norm, but truth be known, THE PIVOT made Tubularsock do it. Once you find yourself on that trajectory well . . . . . .
Your broader question dealing with Bodnia is pretty simple ….. his family was originally from Poland and Russia and because of that it was the Russian influence that caused him to not to continue to “cross that Bridge” any longer. Which leads to another great truth and that is Putin has a huge influence on ALL THINGS BAD!
And now to the real issue, your crush on Sofia. Just use talcum powder three times a day to relieve that itch that is obviously a simple obsession. Then take three aspirin and call Tubularsock in the morning.
Cheers ……….

Tubularsock, Maybe the Swedes just don’t want to be invaded and/or bombed to rubble …. sorry I meant to say liberated and given the blessings of democracy. Can’t say I’d blame them, though for us it’s a done deal. How in hell do we still (or ever) call ourselves a peaceful nation? – Linda

Linda, good point. As to why we are a “peaceful nation” is rather clear. It is because we each carry a semiautomatic just in case we run into a terrorist and we watch only non-violent films about blowing everything up.
The Swedes, on the other hand can’t conceal their weapons because they don’t wear any clothes.
Hope that cleared all this up for you.

Yes, indeed. Often they will visit. I know I would and thus don’t begrudge them their cross-border Danish excursions. For the Danes are famous for their blond hair and blue eyes and ( — though I know, you will accuse me again of being ‘obsessed,’ and you are probably most certainly right, but so am I in this particular instance — ) their promiscuity.
But being loyal nationalists, as all nationalists are, they, the ‘sometimes’ and ‘often-visiting’ Swedes — two entirely different and distinct categories of visitors — never neglect to cross back over the only bridge, henceforth only to be referred to as “the bridge,” from all of Denmark back into Sweden, through the city of Malmö.
It’s a beautiful bridge, that bridge, with one side well-nigh always being traveled by Swedes inflamed by a single minded incandescent and irrepressible desire, while the other is trafficked by Swedes, to a man and to a woman, sated in every desire save one, that for an easy and relaxing draw on a cigarette, but merely to top it all off with a signalling gesture of zero regrets for having thrown all caution to the Danish winds of abandon, purged and cleansed of all tensions and anxieties, glad for the visit and deeply appreciative of ‘the bridge.’
Often but never, indeed. (Obsessed? Clearly. Call it ‘a pivot.’ Perhaps even, “The Pivot.”)

Well Norm, Tubularsock does have to admit that he has lusted after a Danish a few times in his life. With a great cup of coffee it is so much better than a doughnut, even the doughnuts with the “cream” on top.
Granted, Tubularsock likes Danish a great deal but Tubularsock is just not promiscuous
enough to do a doughnut. No really. Tubularsock lets others cross that bridge.
And as Tubularsock always says, “Keep going forward in reverse.”
Cheers!

Damn sojourner, Tubularsock hates to be the one to tell you …. BUTT ….. Ginger took her snaps and your cane and rode off on a motorcycle with some dude named Storm or Norm or something like that.
There is just no reasoning with some women Tubularsock has heard but Tubularsock does have a friend named Hillary that Tube could hook you up with if you are interested. But you’ll have to pay her Bill.

Yeah, I agree with Sojourner, Tubes, in diametrical opposition to your lingual gymnastications .
Killary ain’t no Ginger Snap, and as my daddy once told me: “Son, in a pinch, women aren’t the only thing a man can lose to an other man on a motorcycle, especially if he’s a sheep-farmer in Denmark. A Billy’s nanny can also do nicely if you ain’t in Denmark, but across the bridge, still stuck in Sweden and you can’t get a motorcycle to cross over into Denmark.”
Now I don’t pretend to understand what he might have meant by any of that, but I did take it to heart, because it was confidential advice from my pappy to me, and uttered in a tone that told me he was really meaning what he was saying, that and the fact that it was probably the one and only time I ever really and earnestly listened hard to what he was saying, which is why I’m able to remember it now after all them years, and why, when finally I could afford it, I bought myself a cruiser and dreamt about sheep in Denmark while I rode and pondered the possible meanings of what my pappy had then said. God rest his soul. He was a real bastard. He would’ve liked Bill and incidentally hated commies, too, especially of the Russian kind, whether drunk or sober, I mean my dad and not the Russians.
My apologies. I just had to get that off my chest.

I’ve always had a hard time remembering lyrics to any song, not excepting the ‘Mary had’ tune. But I grasp the gist of your purport: love is love, no matter between whom or what, be it between you and a cute little lamb or you and a tasty lamb chop. If it’s love, what’s not to consecrate?
Pivoting to Christie, however, I can only say that he certainly did go one bridge too far, but apparently didn’t hit above his weight, most understandably, since he was never charged, and he was never charged because that wasn’t going to be a bridge he was gonna cross if he ever came to it, but rather another he would close by again sitting on the same two of his leaner gubernatorial peons, which he did both times.
Chris is the man, then, a very big man, indeed. Pity, then, to the lambs that he covets.
