| 2020-08-30 |
[DW] Germans are still split over Angela Merkel ...chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom. Now they make faces at her for inundating the country with Moslem colonists... ’s optimism in 2015 about the arrival of hundreds of thousands of corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds... support for her positive stance has grown in the past three years. Poll details at the link. |

| #6 I know, European Conservative. But whatever makes it over that threshold for reporting must be serious indeed. My German not being what it used to be — and even then more suited to Kindergartners and their mothers than philosophy — and my energy not being what it was as well, I have to hope someone with better German skills will take on responsibility for that part of the world. |

| #4 It's just time for this broad to go. I guess she's over her dizzy/fainting spells, oder? |

| #3 Of more than 5,000 people surveyed more than 50% thought her statement was rather or fully inaccurate 37% said it had turned out to be completely inaccurate. Unless the translation got mangled, over 87% thought her statement was either rather, fully, or completely inaccurate. In Imperial units, over 87% is called "most". I'm not quite clear on the distinction between "fully" and "completely". Maybe it's a German thing. More than one in five people surveyed now agree she was right to be so optimistic. Go, Angela! Wait, one in five is 20%. That means 80% think she was *wrong* to be so optimistic. Pa-tay-to, Pa-tah-to, I guess. It all depends on which end of the telescope you are looking through. Or what you are trying to sell. |

| #2 the only reason she has positive support for it now is the 100's of thousands of migrants that were polled |
