but I nearly waited and made this the 60,000th post. I'm German-American - my grandfather came over from Germany around 1910, when he was a teenager - and his sons-in-law fought against Germany in WWII, one of them a pilot who spent time in a German POW camp after his bomber was shot down. I've admired how Germany recovered from the insanity of the Third Reich.

I never thought I'd see the day when Germany's president could say something like this about the US government, and be completely correct.

Damn Trump...
