'Easy to be winner, hard to be a loser' — Germany chides Trump over vote count
The Print ^ | 6 November, 2020 | Arne Delfs

Berlin: Germany called on Donald Trump to play by the rules and accept the result of the U.S. presidential election in what amounted to a rare diplomatic foray by a key Western ally.

Trump’s appeal to end the counting of ballots “doesn’t comply with the democratic culture” of the U.S., German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas told public broadcaster ARD on Thursday.

“It’s easy to be a winner, but sometimes it’s quite hard to be a loser,” he said. “It’s important that in the end the result will be accepted by everybody.”

Until now, European leaders have chosen to keep quiet on the unfolding political drama in U.S., and await a final resolution. Germany has a track record of keeping a low profile when it comes to foreign policy and avoiding controversial positions.

Germany calls it In this case, it’s taking a clear stand in trying to steer Trump to accept whatever the result is when it comes. With Democratic rival Joe Biden ahead in key states, Trump has suggested the ballot represents a “major fraud on our nation,” and threatened to take the results to the Supreme Court.

“This is first of all the Trump family and his close campaign team,” Maas said. “I can imagine that there are also a number of proud Republicans who follow with growing suspicion what is happening there.”

Bull$hit.

In 1964 white college kids went to Mississippi and were murdered for helping blacks register to vote and to help them exercise that precious right.

In 2020, the ingrate blacks in Philadelphia, Detroit, Atlanta, North Carolina are depriving others of their right to vote. They are championed by violent white college kids.

My how things have changed.

"It’s easy to be a winner, but sometimes it’s quite hard to be a loser,"
..... says the nation that fumed and hissed and spat and cried when they lost the UK to the Brexit vote.

Yes, yes, tell us all about how you EU-droids in Germany & elsewhere have been such good losers lately.

Most responses miss the point of this. The Germans/EU want a return to the USA of Suckers. They understand quite well that a Braindead Biden “presidency” means exactly that. A return to the Paris Accords, IE, a worldwide soaking of the US taxpayer. A return to the USA subsidizing the EU military at the US Taxpayer expense for nothing in return. That and so much more, all at OUR expense.

wish I could remember who predicted we’d soon see foreign “leaders” calling on Trump to leave quietly or whatever.

not to mention this rubbish at Time (scroll down):

International observers slam Trump
International election observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, here at the Trump Administration’s invitation, slammed Trump for making “baseless allegations of systemic deficiencies … on election night” that “harm public trust in democratic institutions,” Michael Georg Link, special coordinator for the mission told reporters in Washington...

selective about who gets criticised and who doesn’t. none of it based on principles.

Germany doesn't have much moral authority to take us to the dock over our electoral process. Theirs, in the 1930s, brought to power a man whose subsequent acts unleashed unprecedented horrors upon the world.

Germany

Still bending over and raking it up the rump from your muzzies, and attacking any real German citizens pointing that out, Germany?
