  • Merkel to Step Down as Party Leader After Election Setbacks



    She overpromised and underdelivered on environmental goals. She kept hoarding the government’s tax windfall long past the point where the budget was balanced rather than step up investment in infrastructure, especially digital infrastructure. In 2015 and 2016, she let in more than 1.2 million asylum seekers pretty much without any planning, overtaxing the German bureaucratic machine and police force and letting the nationalist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party ride the immigration issue into all the state parliaments, as well as the federal one.

    Finally, since last year’s inconclusive election, she has focused too much on forming a workable coalition and then keeping it together amid constant squabbles, so Germans got the impression that no one was interested in governing. A majority, according to a recent poll, hold Merkel personally responsible for the government’s sorry state.

      It has to be must be made clear WHY he won because all the media wants to do is talk about how evil the new President will be. Brazil's people are desperate for change. crime in Brazil has exploded under socialist rule. the current laws favor the criminals. in Brazil only the criminals have guns. Brazil saw 64,000 homicides last year. kidnapping is at an all time high. the level of corruption is almost unheard of even in south america. the guy that was running things had to be blocked from running again because his corruption was so rampant and obvious.

          Yep, electing a fascist, racist homophobe just to own the liberals. Sounds like a great idea.

            Thing is, if the liberals had done their job the people would not have pushed to such extremes.

                I'd forces liberals and southerners in a pit and lock the lid. :D

                Centrists are the only answer.

                A house divided cannot stand.

                      I am no Clinton fan, but evidently sarcasm doesn't translate well into Hungarian or whatever the zerohedge guy's language is.

                      You should depend less on that garbage, you know.

                        if trump had said that would you have called it "sarcasm"?

                        i think you would have called it offensive and hateful.

                          Anyone with two brain cells can figure out that she meant it sarcastically.

                            Trump says things tongue in cheek all the time and gets accused of being nothing less then the second coming of Hitler.

                            so we are either going to start taking things literally without any room for a joke or we are going to use common sense and stop looking to be offended by everything and anything. when it's your side it's "clearly sarcasm", when it's the other side it's "racism and insensitivity."

                              Two completely different things. I'm surprised you aren't able to see the difference.
