So, the Germans and the whole rest of the world hates Trump. Nothing new there. They hated him BEFORE he was elected, and I didn’t expect that would change.

And i say to the world: eat shit and die, we don’t care what you think. We’re the world’s only remaining superpower, so we can do whatever the hell we want, say whatever the hell we want, and elect whomever the hell we want.

Just goes to show we’re on the right track. Germany is led by a veritable nut case.

The correct response.

Wake up to the fact that socialism does not work. A free market with limited laws, rules, restrictions and regulations, will bring in more money.

Wake up to the fact their low birth rate puts their society in jeopardy.

Wake up to the fact that opening their borders to people who no only do not share your culture or values (and in some cases hate you because of your culture and values) also puts your society in jeopardy.

Wake up to the fact that peace at any price really means you will die first in any battle with an enemy willing to kill you.

...and the list goes on.

As some have pointed out before, Europe lost their best and strongest in two World Wars. It will not be the first (or last time) nations have vanished from this world.

You rotten liar. What makes you think you can get away with saying something like that? Have you gotten Maxine Water Brain all of a sudden? You just attacked me for absolutely no reason. Why would you do so, you evil, vile demon.

The first one is most likely the hardest to overcome. The “social market economy”, brought into being during the Adenauer years, is written into the treaties of the EU. Education about individual liberties, private morality and separation of powers in government are nigh-nonexistent over there, and everything still tends in the authoritarian direction.

As far as the Axis goes, I do not think that their “best and strongest” were fighting in either of the Reich-inspired wars (WWI was the Second Reich). They relied on sneak attack and the apathy of the entities that became the Allies to push forward, and they would certainly employ that again should the powers that were the Allies wallow deeper in immorality and self-absorption (such as the kind of leadership in the UK, and the legislative morass in the USA in the Uniparty).

Are you feeling okay today? Or is there a joke here that I’m not getting?

We already saw this movie before and it didn’t end well for one side.

Apparently, it's the latter. At least that's what he told me...

It’s just a conversation-starter.

MSM: “Repeat after us dear viewers: Trump sucks!!! Trump sucks... Trump sucks!!!. We now present you with 84 Hollywood stars to explain to you how Trump sucks. Then we’ll host some pop stars to tell you that Trump sucks.... but stay tuned, because after that we have some sports legends in to tell you that Trump sucks. Now dear readers, please take our poll so we can see if you think Trump sucks”.

You got to hand it to the Germans though they are historically wizards at figuring out the most colossal ways to be wrong.

Oh, I have to agree with that assessment.

The big-name German news magazines, daily newspapers, and the state-run public networks (ARD/ZDF) will quote WASHPO and NY Times....word for word. They spent weeks trying to explain to the public how they got the election results so wrong in predicting (again using WASHPO and NY Times).

The curious thing is that regular Germans don’t read the big papers anymore (preferring BILD), and the crowd watching the 8PM public TV news...grows less each year. I’d take a guess that only one out of twenty under the age of 25 watches their ‘brand’. There is some fear by the intellectuals that they are losing control of the news media scene.

Who gives a $hit what the “german confidence” is

They are destroying their own country and we are supposed to trust their judgement on anything else?
