    Never Stasi - so not Ex-Stasi either. :)

    You can take girl out of East Germany, but, you can't take the East Germany out of the girl.

    She doesn't have a 'hot' body, she doesn't have long locks and she doesn't wear make up. That's all the Fox watching Right needs to know in order to despise a female leader.

    I love that photo. I can tell in the picture she’s staring at Trump with amazement thinking “damn, what an amazing President!”

    So, it's abstract art for you, huh? ;-0

    P.S. That's NOT what she's thinking. Nobody in that photo is thinking that except the man-child.

    All the servants must stand in the presence of the king, who sits and presides.

    He's not a King and the US is not a dictatorship. That's why he's having a nervous breakdown in public. He's just a con man with a lot of stolen, embezzled, cheated and scammed money who is a big cry baby. If you want a King, move to the UK. There's a spot open there if you can hook up with Queen E. and bump off Charles.

    I really don't care about you spamming the forum with this list. I've already told you that it's not completely accurate so it's clear to me you don't care about FACTS.

    Go ahead. Help him stomp on our Constitution. How's that working out?


    Spoiler alert...NOT TOO WELL.

    What SPECIFIC issues do you have. I answered you once with PROOF of each point. Your vague "its not completely accurate" claim is so vacuous that it says nothing. PGet specific or stop wasting our time trying to grasp desperately at left wing radical talking points.

    And they still can't get Trump out of their minds!!

    I've never felt Merkel as inspiring, in general, Germans are a dull culture. I Googled Merkel's legacy and the BBC seems to give it a lackluster summing up.

    Her focus was t keep things quietly stable and moving ahead.........without the kind of drama and theater that the Us seems to prefer. She met her challenges in a factual, logical manner.........without creating the kind of crap leaders like Trump do..........that distract from the issues. SHE was not the focus......... doing the job at hand was .........as it should be. It should never be about some narcissistic self aggrandising leader...........

    she spoke several languages , makingherable to communicate directly with other international leaders. Perhaps she was just too intelligent and subtle for some. ...........and that is fine.........as shel did well in a man's world...........and never lost her dignity or was surrounded by crazy fictional gossip that detractors seem to enjoy. She was not perfect. No Leader is.......... and there is no such thing. She is practical and a realist. Perhaps That is just not sexy enough for some ......... who want glamour and sensationalism in their politics. She Has a strong work ethic and high standards..........that fit within that culture. As a rule German's are hardworking people and not prone to fanciful theater.or hysterics. Being grounded in reality is an asset in a leader.(or anyone.....fr that matter)

    Did you know, you could have summed all that up with, "She's as dull as dishwater"

    Why didn't she stare down Obama, a very popular person worldwide, when she learned he had been spying on her? Now that would have taken guts. Not staring down someone who wasn't very popular worldwide.

    Those that don't like her......don't for their own and varied reasons. . Some don't need a reason.......May forget or ignore the fact the are daeliing with a different culture.

    Many have made the fatal mistake of underestimating what appears to be "dull" on the surface.......... and fail to try and see a little deeper into the person .......for their qualities. Perhaps it is because the western society has become very superficial and bases so much on appearances..

    Merkel was born in the West German city of Hamburg in 1954 but moved with her family to Brandenburg, in East Germany, when she was only three months old.
