Definitely true. Also, the FDP (currently trying to stay relevant after having been kicked out of parliament in 2013) was once the party of the middle class, of civil rights, of entrepreneurship; but then they turned into the Wall Street-loving, privatize everything, corporate cronies anti-tax party, which also…

I’d like to challenge you on that, but right now the SPD is only a shadow of what it used to be and more centrist than ever. So with the current SPD, you may be onto something.

The primaries would’ve been different as well. Here, the parties on the ballot tell you about a year(ish) in advance: “If you give us the majority in the Bundestag, this person will be chancellor.” So your DNC/RNC would’ve chosen their candidate by party consensus, without the people’s votes prior to the event.

The party alignment isn’t exactly comparable. Our conservative party, the CDU, cannot truly be compared to the current Republican party.

I never voted for her party (chancellors are elected by the parliament, not directly by voters) because I don’t agree on 99% of what the CDU stands for. But by God, I’m so glad to have this woman leading my country right now.

Oh, I remember. As I said, I’m not looking for an excuse, just an explanation. I guess back then NBC thought that this clown would never ever seriously become the Republican candidate, not to mention the PRESIDENT.

There was an anti-Trump rallye in Berlin.

At the time he was on SNL, he hadn’t been the officially elected Republican candidate yet. I know that’s no excuse, and I’m really not trying to excuse SNL/NBC, I’m just trying to understand. I think it was all about the ratings, even hate-viewers were acceptable to Lorne and NBC. NBC had been working with Trump for…

Honest question: If a president is impeached, does this also count for his vice president? After all, they come in the same package.

I’ll give Colbert a pass here. He was obviously shocked and was trying really hard to still do his job as a comedian even if his heart wasn’t into it. He may not have succeeeded, but he tried.

Have you missed the past few months where he was very openly, very insistently and very clearly campaigning for Hillary?

So instead of building up third, fourth, and fifth parties from the ground by first voting their representatives into city councils or any public offices on a regional or state level, you think it is wise to start right at the top? Johnson, Stein and the others never had a chance to become president, they weren’t even…

Depiction =/= endorsement

Why punish the rest of the world for something only Americans can prevent?

There’s also Two and a Half Men, Kutcher was the replacement!-Charlie.

From their childhood on William always looked like his mother and Harry like his father (even with smoother features). It’s like people just want the popular kid to look like Diana.

My comment wasn’t meant to be condescending. If this is how it was received, I apologize. I meant to be sarcastic about the character Mitchum’s basis for judging Rory’s qualification.

That’s true. Back then I thought she was caught off-guard by his act, and then she didn’t know how to handle it. If she had told the gf, it might still have been awkward: Either

I was actually kind of happy that she didn’t “end” up with anyone at the series finale. She was supposed to be this free spirit who can achieve anything that she works hard enough for. Now I’m dreading that they will make one of the relationships the endgame.

Mitch used her as an assistant during her internship, therefore he was able to judge her journalism skills. Yeah, it’s that kind of logic.
