breitbart ^

Posted on 01/29/2017 6:45:36 AM PST by davikkm

Germany made mistakes with an open-door policy that saw more than a million migrants enter Germany over the past two years, Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble acknowledged on Sunday, but he said Berlin was trying to learn from those missteps. “We have tried to improve what got away from us in 2015,” Schäuble told the newspaper Welt am Sonntag. “We politicians are human; we also make mistakes. But one can at least learn from them.”

There are mistakes and then there are mistakes.

The consequences of what Merkel did was eminently foreseeable, it was a criminal action, done without regard to the effect it would have on German society and across europe.

Sorry, doesn’t cut it i’m afraid, the effects are much, much too big to get away with that.

People have been killed, women and children raped, because of the arrogance of one woman.

“We politicians are human; ....


In other words, “We screwed our nation so badly and everyone just needs to be understanding. Pardon the rapes, violence, additional welfare costs, etc.”

Over a million potential terrorists entering your nation isn’t a mistake.

Great way of putting it... The action was criminally negligent, easily foreseeable preventable consequences to actions made. After alarm was pointed out they doubled down on that... right then you have eliminated any grace you could have earned through oversight. You need to not only be removed from office but punished criminally. PERIOD

This ‘mistake’ will cost Germany and Europe social upheaval not seen since WWII, and at worst light, the fuse for WWIII. They either purge these immigrants from their country, or suffer horrific consequences.

These politicians are going to get throw out so hard that their asses will skip down the sidewalk like a stone on a pond.

Mistakes happen,
Corrections are in process

...Schäuble is a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative Christian Democrats, who have lost people support to the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party over the migration issue, after several attacks carried out by migrants.

The AfD is now poised to become the third largest party in parliament in September national elections.

“We also make mistakes...”

What a charitable admission. I’m sure they only make the “occasional” mistake...

logi_cal869 :" If I were German, I’d want some politicians burned at the stake.
Mistakes my ass."

It's all according to the Globalist Plan
Months ago, Merkle said that there were none of the "no go" Muslim controlled areas.
Let's see if she campaigns for reelection in any of those areas...rite !

Well aware. Just being critical of CYA.

If they made mistakes, they should step down. But as you point out: It really is the agenda.

Hence, burn them.(Hint: A metaphor)

In your opinion.

In mine: what Merkel did was eminently foreseeable, it was a criminal action, done explicitly to cause the effect it would have on German society and across Europe.
