U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross's video address to German Chancellor Angela Merkel's political party's business conference in Berlin was cut off on Tuesday after Ross went over his time limit, prompting conference attendees to laugh and cheer.

Ross's video feed at the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) conference was faded out after roughly 20 minutes for going over his time limit, according to Bloomberg.

Attendees then began to applaud and laugh at the move.

"That was the U.S. secretary of commerce, who had promised us a 10-minute statement," the head of CDU Economic Council Werner Bahlsen said.

Imagine the gaul of the Germans after Hitler? And Europe after World Wars I & II. Yet they pretend America doesn’t know how to handle international relations.

Head to Poland.
Let Germany enjoy a bazillion invaders and eventual bankruptcy on their own.

Will they laugh when their Imam goes over his time limit? Hard to clap when you only have one hand.

Laughter was actually the bleating of servile sheep destined for the slaughter.

They want us to pull out.

The mindset is there already.

Regardless of what the laughter was about a man in his position should be able to succinctly share his point within 10 minutes. Anything over that and you lose your audience.

Remember when they were rude to Ivanka? Why do we have troops there? Why do we pay so much for NATO when they don’t meet their requirements?

Germans have a love/hate thing going with the USA. About 15-20 years ago there was talk about closing down a large US base there, and they blew a gut about how many jobs would be lost, how the local economy would be devastated. They like to *think* they want us out, until ...
