Germany’s foreign minister on Sunday predicted turbulent times ahead for the world following Donald Trump’s accession to power in the United States.

“With the election of Donald Trump, the world of the 20th century has definitely been overtaken,” Frank-Walter Steinmeier wrote in a commentary published in the Bild am Sonntag newspaper.

Steinmeier, 60, has emerged in recent months as the German government’s most strident detractor of Trump. […]

But Steinmeier said he would seek dialogue with the Trump administration and outline “our position, our values and our interests.” …

Apparently, Germany values Sharia law more than traditional Western values. I think Trump can make a deal with him.

Here’s the deal. Germany can keep importing Muslim jihadis and welfare cases. In return, the US can grant asylum to all of the hard working, well trained and educated Germans that value free markets, traditional values and yes even Christianity.

When you hear a prediction from a German who thinks importing hundreds of thousands of muslims into their country is a good idea, you will, literally and figuratively, get a much better prediction of the future by stuffing your ears with dog turds.

The East German communist took over Germany when they re-unified with West Germany in 1990. The German capital in West Germany was moved from Bonn to Berlin, even though the communist East was much smaller, much weaker, much poorer and much more corrupt than the West.

On that day, I knew that Christian Germany was finished.

Yes, the East-West “Anschluss”, may not have been a good idea.

East Germans were Soviet cucks for 45 years, while Angie was Stasi. But that doesn’t explain why they would welcome these vipers. Flat birth rate? Have the Turkmen been that great?

Or Tijuana
Imagine the jobs and economy created in Mexico if a couple of US military bases were opened there

I hope Trump moves our troops out of Germany and into someplace like Poland or Hungary.

I was told by a German that our troops there and the civil jobs we give them are what's keeping Germany's head above water. The FM needs to work on his own country before sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. Keep bad mouthing Trump and we just might pull out and let Germany drown.

Never underestimate the German capacity for delusional self-righteousness and a false sense of moral and intellectual superiority. I think the EU lamb is about to find itself part of a conversation between the Eagle and the Bear about what’s for dinner.

AfD needs to start winning some elections in Germany, and throw the liberal nitwits out of their government. They need a house cleaning as bad as we do. Maybe more.

“He said he was “certain to find interlocutors in Washington who know that big countries also needs partners.””

Translation: “We’re certain we can bypass the President via Quislings in the State Department.”

But Herr Steinmeier is going to be shocked should he try that!

“We already know the German position — total surrender to Islam.”

Another reason for Trump to actually ban Muslims, not just the crap from the ME in general. Because we should not let “the new Germans” immigrate here either.

But no “New Germans (read muzzies) “ need apply!

Agree. Ban Moslem immigration but also deport the ones already here who don't yet have American citizenship, a very large number.

AfD has some NPD infiltrators that need to be thrown out. The AfD leadership was not happy with this out of Björn Höcke; but what’s worse is how well the crowd took it.
