I dont really like A. Merkel cause she destroys Germany. And she knows it.. im looking forward to the day she will get dismissed. Nearly nobody will miss this woman.
I just don't see anyone more capable.
Congratulations @thatgermandude!
Your post was mentioned in my hit parade in the following category:
I think it is good to welcome people from other countries with open arms. That is what Canada does, and it's a peaceful nation.
Yes! In Canada we are teaching them to code!
People in the U.S. and even Germany were calling for the same actions against Trump before he'd assumed office. He hadn't actually done any actions yet. They wanted him impeached or killed for words he said while campaigning. It is not unique to the U.S. and U.S. doesn't have a monopoly on dumb people. They are everywhere. :)
As to Angela Merkel. I am not a fan, but I have only been able to see her through the filtered lense of many different english speaking news outlets, both mainstream, and alternative.
I realize there is likely some bias, so I try to keep an open mind as I realize that taking things out of context can turn truth into a lie.
So I am not a fan based upon what I have read, watched of her myself. Yet I am not a German and would not tell a German what they should do about her. That is for the Germans to decide.
I also would gladly change my mind if I learned information that indicated I should.
She is no Ron Paul, but she is maybe one of the best chancellors we had... which is also a little bit sad ;)
We've had our share of "Better than X" too. Where Better still didn't mean good, it just meant NOT AS BAD.
you mean x=Hillary? :D
No, I was speaking of many different cases. There is a lot of "Better than X" type of statements that occur in politics.
There is also a lot of people who will vote for the Lesser of Two Evils.
Evil is still evil. I promised to not vote based upon lesser of two evils ever again. I did it in 2008 when I voted for Obama.
Never again.
It is not about winning. It is about choosing the person you think is the best choice. If that person does not win, that's fine you still did your job.
A lot of people vote purely based upon herd mentality and not at all based upon who would actually represent their interests best.
Hillary was really bad. I would have voted for ANY SINGLE person who was running before I voted for her. She should have been in prison long ago. The more you research her the more you find corruption, treason, death, etc linked to her. She's just VERY powerful, and I suspect has a lot of dirt on some other powerful people. Also people that challenge her or Bill often end up dead under mysterious circumstances such as committing suicide and somehow they did so by shooting themselves in the head twice.
Funny how I did not know much about the Clintons and then after watching House of Cards, I heard the story is also loosely based on the Clintons. I was like "huh? but Bill seems like such a chummy guy!"
House of Cards is a good comparison. The Clintons are actually worse than that though as they've done FAR more things like that. It is a pretty accurate comparison.
If we had elected Hillary that would have been a lot like electing an Organized Crime Leader (Mafia Boss, Godmother, etc) to run our country.
Okay, but if someone is standing there in front of your door with a torch being very loud on setting your house on fire - do you wait for him to start the fire or are you calling the police earlier?
Oh wait, I forgot... you go out and tell him you are not giving him the wood voluntarily so he should not set your house to fire ;)
I don't treat anyone like a criminal until they've actually committed a crime. I don't punish people for what MIGHT happen. That is just wrong.
And I also do not freak out over what a politician says. I've rarely seen a politician that tells the truth when they are running for election. It is extremely rare. This is especially true for politicians who also happen to be lawyers.
That is the funny part: Trump actually tries to do what he promised, and nobody can believe he is doing that.
No, not punishing - if you mean jail. But getting the torch out of his hand and friendly moving him home before he harms someone would be appreciated.
I don't consider WORDS to be the same as ACTIONS. So if I saw a person with a gun walking towards my house, or a torch, then yes I would react.
That is part of my point. All Trump did prior to January 20th was WORDS.
Yet they wanted to impeach him. Very different from actions. He hadn't actually done anything impeachable as he had done no actions.
I changed the second sentence, it was stupid. Thanks for pointing it out.
All too true. If you didn't follow me back then:

Merkel is a 150% Machtmensch. She understands Power. That why she can give people her vollstes Vertrauen ;)
I don't like her for a lot of reasons, but then it could have been a lot worse.
The fun fact is that there is no way we could NOT have let the Syrian refugees in (Grundgesetz), especially since they only came because for the EU states 600 million for the UN to feed them in the camps in/around Syria was too expensive.
3 month after there was no food left, suddenly and totally surprising hundreds of thousands turned up at the EU borders. Let me just get the calculator out, ~3000km / 90 days = 33km a day - yes, that is about what you can walk. What a strange coincidence!
I just had the thought that her being a Machtmensch makes a huge part of why I like her. A person that does not understand power, I would say Schröder was one of those cases, will end up a puppet. I dont want a puppet to govern my country and there are still enough of them in our administration.
It can't be that unpopular looking at how she's on top in the polls.
Upvoted and followed.
thanks! In the original version there was a short sentence saying it is mostly Americans. Many Germans view her in another light because they actually know her. I wanted to not include the anti-american insert, because I had to justify why I want an Amrican-German war before. guckst du ;)

I believe people in the US dislike her because she is a woman and intelligent. Everyone here, in my family considers Merkel to be the new leader of the free world. You're a lucky country to have her as your leader. Now, I wish someone would get Trump impeached.
I secretly hoped Trump would bring change, but I guess that was an Illusion.
Thanks for the kind words towards Germanys Chancellor, you wonderful, powerful being you <3
I love Merkel now that I know she has a science background! We NEED INTELLIGENT LEADERS!!!!!!!!! She's brilliant and I think it's terribly sad everyone focuses on her looks! Women have a terrible time! Shame on the world!
The fact that someone does or did (good) science, doesn't mean he or she is able to be a good politician too. Intelligence is a fuzzy concept; with science studies and a degree and published articles you only prove you can do that specific science (necessarily not all science), with a certain skill which, in order to be evaluated correctly, needs people competent in your research area.
I remember when I was young I laughed about all the jokes... but after months of mocking her I felt bad. A politician does not need to be pretty, they need to be honest, smart and calm, sadly most of the other German politicians are not like Merkel...
Thank you for the Resteem!
I am a friend of all countries and I see no point in starting wars with others. Steemit and the way we transact with each other should be without borders, and without friction, just like energy itself. Steemit is a good start for world peace.
That's exactly how I feel towards Steemit. It might be a little naive, but if we can keep the positivity up, we might actually change the world.
I also love to get to know people from other cultures, you can learn so much, I never knew you could use oatmeal as pancake batter and we Germans love our pancakes :3. Thanks to @kawthar I can make super fast, yummy and healthy pancakes.

Thanks for writing this. I am so ignorant regarding the politics of other nations, but you decreased my dumb with this article. Also, the pic of Merkel in red reminds me of my mother, who was also tormented for her appearance when she was one of America's first female bank managers. Those eyes!
thank you very much. It is exactly what I wanted to achieve with this article. I feel like many just took it as another black and white debate, where I pick a side that is against theirs. I provoked this with the title and the one-sidedness of the article.
I will try to be more objective and less sensational next time, so I get more comments like yours!
Merkel is a game changer for Germany and for women! Great Post!
thank you!
Politicians are the expression of the average morality of the crowd. Don't blame them. Blame the people who voted for them.
I disagree, but it would take really long to explain every aspect of why I think that way. Maybe I will write about it in the future. Thanks for commenting!
I would love to hear your detail ideas. Do make a post. Keep in mind that we have what we have today because most people desire this world around them. More or less we get what most people deserve/wish.
My main argument would be that people wishes and desires are manipulated through media and co.
Hallo @thatgermandude !
Dies ist eine automatische Nachricht.
Anscheinend hast Du das erste Mal auf #deutsch geschrieben.
Willkommen bei Steemit!
Schau doch mal im https://steemit.chat/channel/deutsch vorbei !
Danke für den guten Tipp! :)
please dont use #deutsch if you dont post in deutsch
Oh I thought I can use #deutsch, when I talk about a topic concerning Germany.
Mach ich's halt wieder raus :/
Hat den bot voll aus dem Konzept gebracht :)
sry, dass wollt ich natürlich nicht, ich hab nur letzens gesehen, dass deutsch-trail auch englische artikel aufnimmt. Daher wohl meine Verwechslung.
Kommt nicht nochmal vor, versprochen ;)
I guess Germany is the tag here.
Der arme Bot. Kriegt 'nen Keks.
Wenn Du in Deutsch schreibst, dann nimm deutsch. In dem Fall wäre germany oder german der bessere Tag.
jo, hab's bereits geändert.
