Wow, that bitch Mutti got off two Parthian shots. Who would have thunk it?

- Immigration policy: anti-German
- Energy policy: energy poverty for the German people. But fun and interesting in the dead of winter.
- Defense policy: Underfunded and/or letting waste fraud and abuse run rampant.
- Foreign policy: Hate Republicans, suck up to liberals and Putin. Her face lights up like a lighthouse around Obama and Putin.
- Economy: ???
She remains to be Stasi through and through, a puppet of of evil elf Ras-Putin.
If our "leaders" actions are indistinguishable from treasonous acts, our reactions should be appropriate in response.
Let the trials begin.
We will do it "by the book"
