I read this and just kept thinking, what if you were trump’s kid and also not an asshole! That would suck!

It’s like you’ve never even seen a single episode of “How it’s Made”. Basically, I’m saying you’ve been missing out on a great show. Opportunity awaits you!

I’m disappointing that you probably thought people actually did it by hand, and you missed an obvious Trump gag about fences and immigrants.

Yeah but better to have people subverting them like this than not, right?

“Instead we got a guy who can’t find his asshole with two hands and a flashlight.”

Guys, if you can, and even if it isn’t much, support the Guardian. They reported on several scandals other ignored (Homan square -illegal prison in Chicago-, torture by the military, counting the killed by police while no official stats exist, the Greenwald analysis) AND they follow up on issues (Flint, corruption).

Merkel is still not a liberal. She’s not a totalitarian racists sack of manure, either, though.

Yep. In Germany, you can’t walk three blocks without tripping over a holocaust memorial. And they didn’t turn their concentration camps into “nostalgic,” “charming,” “historical” places to host weddings, like we did with plantations.

They put us to shame in that department. America was built on genocide and slavery. How many Americans do you think would acknowledge that?

My dad, who has spent a lot of time in Germany, brought back a small piece of the Berlin Wall in the early ‘90s so we’d never forget. Also: nice use of concrete there.

I don’t agree, politically, with Merkel on a large slab of issues (I’m not German, but have a half-German family and am in the EU, so I know them pretty well), but we’re in new world now where “Will stand against fascism” is apparently a rare and precious commodity in a world leader.

Jean Chrétien was by no means a favourite of mine but he was fucking savage to GW Bush during his presidency. Trudeau needs to take a page from that book.

I sincerely hope Trudeau doesn’t fuck it up. I get that he probably felt it was wiser to toe the line with the opening congratulatory notice to Trump, but when push comes to shove, he’s going to have to have more spine than the “shared values” bullshit he touted last week. I really hope he sees that we too are at a…

Guess who couldn’t vote for Hillary?

Liberal in the older sense, a democrat, certainly not a fascist.

I’m an American and I thought it should feel really weird, glad there’s a European here to reassure me that I wasn’t forgetting something...

Germany is pretty much the only country that doesn’t whitewash its history, and makes damn sure children are raised learning everything about its past mistakes so they won’t make them again. Virtually no other country does that.

So... We’re calling Angela Merkel a liberal now? Because that really feels weird to us europeans.

I was talking to a good friend of mine who thinks we’ll see a wave of white supremacist candidates elected in Europe (Marine Le Pen, Norbert Hofer) & this could seriously be a run-up to WWIII.
