Hmmmm. Well, I haven't been to the white house but I have been to East Berlin. My dad was stationed in London from '61-'63 and my Mom and I took a tour in '62 to Berlin. Not too long after the wall started growing. They were still letting limited tourists across at Checkpoint Charlie. I don't know if assclown d. brooks ever crossed over the line to the commie controlled sector, but I can tell you that at the age of 14, it certainly left an impression on me. To make this comparison only offers further (not furher) proof that these people are total idiots. I still have a map of Berlin from that time period showing the different sectors and barbed wire isolating West Berlin. It was starting to deteriorate so I had it laminated to protect it. Life was thriving on the west side of the wall. East side, WWII debris was still everywhere and not cleaned up. Few cars and few shops. Very depressing.

They just cannot comprehend him.
Trump TOWERS OVER them intellectually and morally, and they simply cannot grasp that.
These are people of mediocre intelligence, vision, morality, and imagination trying to comprehend someone who towers far above them.
Can they really be that stupid and morally confused?????
I'm afraid so.

Okay, just to be clear, PBS thinks East Berlin was a bad place, correct?

If any major news source had compared the communist/socialist who just, finally, left our White House to the East Germans or to any other communist/socialist dictator, the Left would have permanently freaked out.

This assclown has no idea how E Berlin was. Kreuzburg (Turkish area) was a glistening sanctuary in comparison, and we thought it was a slum. (Got to forcibly evict lots of Anarchists from buildings there, sooooo much fun!)
Going to the East was like stepping into a world of black and white from color. No one smiled. Cameras everywhere. Countless times I had huge cash offers for my uniform over there - that would get them out.
One night we went way over in the East to a remote little neighborhood bar, and locked the door when we entered. We bought everyones drinks all night. By the time we left at closing, we had them singing God Bless America.
In my 3 years there I saw many things I cant talk about.

It was Shields who made the East Berlin comment that I think was absurdly over the top.
To: Pilgrim's Progress
Seems to me that was the objective. Visited near the border between the west and east again in ‘68 when I was in the Navy. No crossing that time. ;-)

East Berlin had a wall that ran around its entire perimeter, even on the east side, to Keep East Germans OUT. It was a showplace for them, in The Workers Paradise.
The wall around West Berlin was 110 miles long. We had 5 days to run every mile of it.

Roger that. Hopefully some one cleaned up some of the WWII debris by then. Thanks for your service. ;-)

I spent a week in East Berlin, it is obvious this Anal-yst never has.
It isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.
