Delusional alcoholic has last day at work
2019-11-30
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Jean-Claude Juncker uses his last day in office to stick two fingers up to Britain by boasting Brexit has made the EU MORE popular than ever in typical fashion (but Brussels will certainly be a duller place without his merry antics)
  • Today is Jean-Claude Juncker's last day as president of European Commission

  • He will step down after five year term to make way for Ursula von der Leyen

  • Said Brexit continues to 'break my heart' - but claimed it boosted EU popularity

#8  Wikipedia on Ursula von der Leyden

German landed aristocracy, overachieving type reared to a life of service, from a family of same: studied at the notoriously Marxist London School of Economics while hiding from kidnap plans of the Red Army Faction, MD in women’s health, (is that what Americans call obstetrics/gynocology?), married a fellow aristocrat who professed at Stanford while she reared their seven children, then on their return to Germany, after teaching at Hannover medical school she followed in her father’s footsteps and went into politics in the CDU, where she quickly caught Angela Merkel’s eye. I wonder if this post is meant as a consolation prize after Frau Merkel tapped that other woman to be her successor.

IMO, they know their culture is doomed and trying to take the rest of the world with them.

#2  Jean-Claude Juncker, Ursula von der Leyen

Didn't these people try to wipe themselves out about a hundred years ago? Along with a little assist by the Bolsheviks. Should have known when the French failed in 1793.
