- dandotway 5y agoFor Merkel's generation in East Germany, nudism was a popular form of youthful rebellion (and Europeans are generally less puritanical about nudity than Americans). When some old black and white pictures of a group of young nude German women turned up with one of the women bearing a striking resemblance to a younger Merkel, Merkel's response has always been, "No comment." https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/angela-merkel-naked-pictures-nudist-17091482 https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/angela-merkel-n...
- redis_mlc 5y agoAngela Merkel destroyed her legacy by admitting 2 million illegal economic migrants into Germany within the past decade. Her response was, "I thought they'd leave." Largely that's a failure of feminism - wanting fairness for all, when leadership and territoriality was required. Note that it takes one year per detained illegal alien to deport them, so millions will never be deported. The Biden administration has already allowed 1.2 million illegal economic migrants from 150 countries to enter the US via the Mexico border, many with corona. Likely this will be 2 million per year of the Biden adminisration. It's a form of gerrymandering by not enforcing the laws of the country they swore to upheld.
