The Germans have completely lost their sense of pride. So what now? Is it even possible to take things personally when dealing with Germany?

But they don't want to come to America. So why on earth would anyone force them to stay here? I really want to know what their reaction is going to be when they cross the ocean, only to be told, "You're headed to Germany," or "You're going to France," or "You're off to Sweden." And then they find out they're actually being sent to Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, or Canada instead...

Look, not everyone is an uneducated beggar. Of course there are educated people in there. But do you honestly think the media is going to interview people who don't speak English? I mean, let's be real—how many local European journalists actually know how to speak Arabic?

Pretty solid movie on the new one.

So, you were replying to the post where frozencobra50 claims they’re just economic migrants. But if we're talking about refugees, isn't it a bit cold-hearted to just leave your wife and kids behind in a war zone?

Go ahead, rush down to the train station in Budapest and tell us exactly how many women and children show up for every one man.

It says right here that 58% are against helping refugees. That’s just a devastating statistic—and I don't buy for a second that anyone cooked the numbers, because any sane person would be ashamed of figures like that.

And as for what you're saying regarding '91 and accepting refugees, this guy explained it perfectly:

"One simple, yet incredibly uncomfortable truth has become clear over the last few weeks: it doesn't matter where we were back in '91. Again, maybe that's not the most tactful way to put it: it matters, but only when our own asses are on the line."

I don't know why that graffiti keeps ringing in my head: "We may be few, but we're total trash."

And who exactly is this massive wave of Americans arriving abroad? You can't compare the situation in America to Syria. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, Glavašević went to Chicago, not Germany.

What kind of fools were my people, running straight to Chicago, while these others breeze through half of Europe (all safe countries) without any paperwork?

Michelle Palmer6 said:And Americans would love to start a war just to head off to Canada, Slovakia, or Bulgaria. Hold on—if we had a war recently, where did the refugees go?
People head wherever they believe life will be better. Sure, maybe they’re being selfish in that regard, seeking out opportunities that thousands of others can only dream of, or working incredibly hard to earn them. But even with all the migration perks available right now, I wouldn't want to be in their shoes for a single second.

I think our refugees mostly headed toward cities like Los Angeles or Chicago, or occasionally someone would send their kids to stay with relatives in Germany. In my own family from Canada, some came to the States, and two families went to a place like St. Louis because there was already a large Canadian community there before the war.

Let them go. Honestly, if I lived there, I’d probably do the same. I just wish they could just fly people straight to Turkey or Greece to save them from the misery and death, because they're going to make it to Germany one way or another. It makes no sense to play dumb and let people cross borders without papers or registration—who knows how many insurgents slipped through that way?

This just isn't it.

Happy Victory Day to everyone! 🙂

They hung the flag on the house, just to let them suffer ☕

I need a volunteer to download a one-gigabyte file. I want to see if the US National Team can actually make waves on the global stage now.
Regarding the World Cup history, the US has two silver medals and four bronzes. Meanwhile, our neighbors over in Mexico have managed to take home the gold twice.

Don't try to twist my words or change the context now. They didn't want her back when America was already a powerhouse.

Yeah, GDP growth 🤣 🤣

A 0.3% increase is just stagnation. If you want a solid start, you really need to see something in the 3% to 4% range annually.

The US technically "exited" the recession simply because there were zero oil imports for an entire quarter. Is that actually a foundation for future growth? You could easily call this GDP engineering, because the economy is still essentially flatlining or shrinking. How can you claim we've moved past a recession when consumer spending is down 0.6%, state spending has dropped 0.5%, investments have plummeted by 3.7%, and employment numbers fluctuate wildly depending on the season? It’s hard to call that a recovery. It looks more like a way to mislead the public and the voters.

Smrdežulović actually knows how to write some solid sports pieces. As for anything else? He should probably just be deported from the country.☕

You guys in red won't listen, just leave Bujanac and the bujica alone!

Has anyone checked out Better Call Saul yet? Let me know what you think!

James Anderson5 said:Of course, any reasonable person would vote for that shaky, paranoid student whose economic platform is being ghostwritten by Pernar and supported by those academic sycophants, Lovrinović and Jakovčević. And remember, Jakovčević sat on the oversight board at Chase Bank during that massive ATM scandal where they lost nearly $500 million...

As for Lovrinović, he was probably the first dean of an economics department who couldn't even speak basic English...

Not to mention how Vaso Brkić used to brag about how the "living wall" was actually his own project...

I think Lovrinović does know English. He might have an accent, but he knows it.
