I wanted to give comparative numbers for Germany, in 2016 police shot 52 times and killed 13 people. Granted, Germany has only about one fourth of the US population. But 13 times 4 would still only be 52.

But why then forbid abortion in cases of rape or an inviable pregnancy? I seriously don’t understand these people. An inviable pregnancy is often the result of sex in a heterosexual marriage, it’s a wanted pregnancy, it’s just cruel and evil to force a woman to carry a child to term that’s very much wanted and then…

That’s horrible. I was pro-choice before being voluntarily pregnant twice. But being pregnant made me, if even possible, more pro-choice. Because it wasn’t a magical, wonderful time. It was vomiting, nausea, constant peeing and my daughter had a real feel for kicking me where it hurt most.

It took me until last week to realise that getting angry is a privilege mostly white men have. As a white woman I get some leeway until being called hysterical or emotional, but my Egyptian husband doesn’t even get that, as obviously POC regardless of gender.

For me the teeth are definitely more horrifying than the orange tinge.

I keep coming back to the question, what would it take for his base to turn on him and the only thing I can come up with is probably converting to Islam.

I assume, they can excuse this, because this Nazi is of slavic decent and Slavs weren’t exactly seen as Übermensch material.

I agree completely, it also takes talent and dedication to turn that physical advantage into excellence. My husband is 6'4" and from a country where the average height for men is about 5'5". He was still thrown out of the basketball team, because he just plain sucks at all the sports except chess.

It was also East Germany. Thankfully, my father’s eyes suck, so he was never stationed at the wall. But his best friend was and you better believe he shat his pants every time he was on duty, hoping that no one would try to flee to West Berlin.

I’ve been living it for a year now. My Egyptian husband and I moved from an East German city to a Bavarian one.

German civilization did change, but not in the way Kissinger is implying. Racism is now more overt, Nazis come crawling out of their holes and politicians like Horst Seehofer, a Bavarian from the “christian” “social” union now proclaims that Islam doesn’t belong to Germany.

In 1910 the Odenwald Schule was founded in Germany, a boarding school, heralded as one of the best examples of progressive education, it was closed in 2015. Because this was the second time rampant sexual abuse in the 70's and 80's was made public. 130 students were abused by 7 or 8 teachers.

In Germany, every student has been at least once at a concentration camp, to see what horror we’ve inflicted. So, basically a deterrent.

My sister works with asylum seekers in Germany. So, they are mostly Afghans and Syrians, the story she hears are horrific. She recently had a family from Afghan. The son was gang-raped so badly that he suffered from a prolapse, while the mother had to look on. Because they belonged to a minority, no hospital wanted to…

After watching John Oliver’s Stupid Watergate peace from yesterday, I’ve also reached the point of absolute hopelessness. The fact that it’s only 54% of Americans who want the investigation going broke me.

Yeah, ever since his horrible, tasteless Amy Winehouse cake, he’s firmly in asshole territory for me.

When I showed my vascular surgeon husband this picture, he said that hand looks like the ones of his nonagenarian patients. So, no. And yet he won’t die.

My husband was the only guy who defended his female colleague, when the men made fun of her surgery techniques, with one of those men just days before wanting to take an appendix out of a patient who had no appendix anymore because that particular surgeon already took it out.

You know how American GIs led Germans through concentration camps to show them the evil they unleashed? So, I think his stupid voters, followers and all the non-voters and Jill Stein-voters should also be shown the stupid evil they unleashed, but I’m not sure, what you can show them to make them feel horrified instead…

This mentality is something I never understood. I’m Christian I’m teaching my kids to be as ecologically friendly as possible because the environment is like a gift from God.
