Signs Point To…

Does he know there are cameras?

Is he that delusional?

Does he think we’re that stupid?

Signs point to “Yes.”
See? Is that anything like a concept of a victory? Considering the current importance of the German bases to American forces overseas, maybe you should consider reducing troop numbers in other countries, rather than reacting like someone hurt your fee-fees.

Speaking of Germans and Germany: I served a church in rural southern Illinois (actually, outside Chicago, almost all of Illinois is rural. In this case, there were cornfields behind the parsonage. Rural.).  One of the members, then still older than I am now, had grown up in a German speaking home. He told me that it was in school as a young boy that he learned English. The church had an old book of worship, with prayers and services in it. It was in German, in Fraktur type. The members told stories of KKK members entering German speaking churches in the upper Midwest after America entered WWI. The KKK dragged pastors from their pulpits and beat them in the streets. Their crime? Worshipping God in German. As one man asked, when forced to worship in English: “How will God understand me?”

When I go to vote, sample ballots are posted in English, Spanish, Korean, Vietnamese, at least. I’m sure there are a few other languages, I’m going by the nationalities I know to be here.

This is Texas in the 21st century. We don’t need Chip Roy’s racism and ignorance. We have enough of our own. But he feels free to speak it because of Trump.
