It’s a shame they have done that to the harbor. I’ve been there once, and Hamburg has a beautiful harbor.

It’s one of those temporary Christo things. I think it’s pretty cool.

They Have Plans For America


America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within. - Joseph Stalin
