That train is never late.

Oh god now I need a shower, thanks so much.

More like the first pleasurable post-bang cig, but I’m down for it.

Merkel’s immigration policies were not popular with a certain segment of the German public. I’d caution against confusing cause and effect, though — acting in a welcoming non-racist way does not create racists and xenophobes, it just brings them out of the woodwork.
