The TRUMP EFFECT.



Germany’s normally stable government has collapsed. Here’s why​


Germany now faces turmoil at a time of broader uncertainty. The political crisis was triggered just hours after it was announced former US President Donald Trump will get a second term –
an election outcome that could bring further woes to Germany’s economy as well as threaten Europe’s united front on key issues. Here’s what we know.

Merkel retired from her position as German chancellor in 2021.

The center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) stepped up to fill the gap she left when it emerged as the largest party in Germany’s parliament, or Bundestag, in the 2021 federal election.
Following the all-powerful and ever-popular Merkel was always going to be fraught with difficulties.

The SPD cobbled together a government with the FDP and the Greens, which have ruled as a “traffic light” coalition since December of that year, referring to the different parties colors.










Germany's government collapses hours after US election​





Germany's ruling coalition has collapsed after Chancellor Olaf Scholz dismissed Finance Minister Christian Lindner just hours after Donald Trump's US election win.

The coalition collapsed due to disagreements over budget policy, with Lindner opposing tax hikes and debt increases.
Scholz plans a parliamentary confidence vote on January 15, potentially leading to a snap election by March 2025.

Germany’s conservative opposition leader Friedrich Merz said there's "absolutely no reason" to wait that long.
"There is absolutely no reason to wait until January of next year to ask for a vote of confidence," he said.
"The traffic light coalition no longer has a majority in the German Bundestag."And so we have to call on the Chancellor, with a joint resolution of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the Bundestag,
to call a vote of confidence immediately, by the beginning of next week at the latest."

Wow @tosca1 please tell me how it feels to post one post after another and receive 2 responses (including mine)? I hope it was cathartic for you.

It's great!

How would it feel for someone who wants to show something feel, that she can express them?
Being able to express - whatever format - is a right, that has been taken for granted! :)
Isn't that allowed in a DEMOCRACY?



DEMOCRACY, won.
So - it's understandable to be ecstatic - jubilant - for those who'd seen how we came close to falling into a full-blown, PUTIN- territory-kind-of-governance!




I mean......................do I have to have a response?
This isn't the firs time I've been having this kind of MONOLOGUE threads.

In other threads I created..........................there are NO responses.




Anyway......

Do folks who agree with the OP - and other facts being given - have to say anything? :)
If those who disagree.........won't they speak up........................ IF they can refute what have been posted? :)


Shoot the message. NOT, the messenger.


I suppose, sometimes we have to know when to shut up.
You should try it.


As a browser - I'd rather see threads that have had a few relevant responses, than it becoming cluttered by stupid ones.
It's time consuming, sifting through the mess.




As you say.......................at least I got two here! 😁
Now we know. :rolleyes:

Thanks for that info. I wasn't counting.

Why?

She never had the position of Border Czar.

@DrewPaul


Even if she was a border czar or not - she would be the one who'd be taking notes on how she did it wrong with the border.
She'd learn a lot from Homan.


It's never too late to learn.
Who knows, she could use the lesson someday.

@DrewPaul


She didn't have to be the border czar, to learn from Homan.

Anyway - she was.
She was appointed to lead in handling it.


border czar - an informal term in U.S. politics that has long been used to describe an official in charge of or tasked with issues related to border security and immigration policies.
Though it does not represent an official title, it is one that has been used by multiple administrations.

They called Trump, "Hitler" and "fascist" too!
Should Trump back down from his promises just so to show that he isn't fascist, authoritarian, Hitler?


Why should we care if we're called a cult?
Look at the kind of people who's calling MAGA, a cult!

The objective, rational mind, would see that it isn't. 🤷



It is a..................... MOVEMENT.

Big difference.

Some shuffling around may be needed for some governments.





‘He will not forget’: Kevin Rudd’s past Trump remarks may cause ‘some problems’​


Kevin Rudd Must Be Sacked As Ambassador!



Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer has suggested that Australia’s US Ambassador Kevin Rudd will have “some problems” after his past controversial remarks about Donald Trump resurfaced.
“Mr Rudd is going to have some problems – Donald Trump doesn’t forget these kinds of comments,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
“He will not forget, and my advice to both the Australian’s and the UK government is to think about how you want that relationship to go going forward. It might be smart to sub them out if you will.”
