He's not alone there, lots of convicted felons want to rewrite history. For example, the felon who follows you round this forum to abuse you wants people to know nothing about his many convictions on felony charges at four separate trials in three different decades and to instead think of him as some sort of hockey guru. Unfortunately for him the opposite is happening.
To be fair, Germany is not a safe place for criminals, lots of them get caught and locked up. And, unlike the USA, you can't buy a presidential pardon in Germany.
As a visitor (maybe 100 times) rather than a resident, it did seem safe. The only time I've felt wary was at night on Silbersteinstraße in Neukolln with all the streetwalkers, unconscious junkies and pimps/dealers in leather coats. But nothing happened. Everywhere else has always felt safe.
@lenka There was a situation in Poland where a drunk driver was behaving recklessly, destroying property and injuring a few police officers. Fortunately, they managed to corner him and shoot out his tires.
During that action, he endangered the lives of police officers, bystanders, and others involved. How many innocent lives would you be willing to put at stake to try to handle this criminal gently? He might receive a light sentence, and once he's free, there's a high chance he will repeat his actions. What if he harms or kills someone next time? Who would take personal responsibility for that?
This type of individual should be dealt with decisively, especially if they attempt to harm law enforcement officers. In the U.S., they shoot'em down. The police are supposed to protect law-abiding citizens, not reckless criminals. You, as a woman, are confused.
First sale of Venezuelan oil completed in a $500 million pound deal for the US. Money is going to be distributed across multiple bank accounts, the largest being in Qatar.
Apparently, this is to prevent the money being seized from US banks.
And there are still those thinking this is about narcoterrorism. Yeah, right.
Americans are suffering under Trump - high inflation and shrinkflation, yet the stock market is at a record high. He does a great job for billionaires, but destroys all the rest.
Inflation is also present in Germany, but not as high, and the government regularly raises the minimum wage to avoid social unrest. So far, it has been successful.
Has it? Companies and businesses are closing....no new enterprises are founded, and if then in foreign countries where the wages are much lower and the regulations not as massive!
I say....less taxes, less regulations, then you need not so high wages anymore and people will start new business again and offer again more jobs....
....at least the most senseless and damaging and expensive ones like the masses of regulations and high prices and oh god the ending of the powerplants....we will still pay for that brainfart for a long time to come....and everybody: Danke Merkel!
In North America, there is a massive conflict between civil authorities, led by the National Guard and Border Patrol, with protesters, criminals and local politicians.
It doesn't take a genius to know that behind everything are corporations and their political cronies, primarily Democrats, but also some Republicans, even though Republicans are officially in power. The same thing happened during Trump's last term, then known as Black Lives Matters which was a front to prevent law enforcement etc.
The biggest organizers of all these riots are public figures, actors, singers, influencers who use social networks and steal the content of other people's videos or from TV and then pack it into their own narrative.
From the psychological point of view, this has a very negative effect on the illiterate masses, who also receive the support of criminals on the ground, such as illegal immigrants and the like.
I'm surprised that the army hasn't killed more people so far, because you can't say they didn't deserve a bullet.
Trump made $350 billion in tariffs, but had already spent $1.5 trillion in printed money and still owes $1 trillion in debt interest. He is using the same strategy he relied on when he was forced to declare bankruptcy in his casino business.
More importantly how incompetent do you have to be to fail at the casino business with the inbuilt advantage the casino has. I suppose declaring bankruptcy could be intentional if you were using the casino business to launder like those empty buildings in Mexico not that I would suggest that Trump is in any way corrupt.
@Barney Have you ever been to Atlantic City? Nothing survives there for long. Its a dump and should have a bomb dropped on it and start over. Complete waste of great real estate.
