Where was she all summer long when the left was telling the rioyers to go and burn property amd hurt ordinary civilians? Stupid socialist dutch!

we really use the word 'forever' a bit too easily - think about the concept and the reality of 'forever' - if ya mean 'a long time' just say 'a long time'

So the blatantly antisemitic and outdated eu with failed experimentation with socialist principles is going to lecture the world is trying to lecture the world on democracy?

how stupid is she

Our Democracy will not be the same in my time Countries look at us not as the shining light but more as just one of the many experiments They will not look for answers from us It may take us to a place we don't want to go I know you can't explain we are a work in progress

Says the unelected one. 🙄

There is so much democracy in the EU 🤡

You fucking idiots started destroying it in the 70's.

It was damaged 80 years ago when a entity a copy of the Roman Holy Empire that ended in 1918 was resurrected under new name of EU and until 2016 brexit vote had sacked in all of Europe except for few small countries

Dus, lijdzaam toezien hoe dit drama zich zou voltrekken mocht Trump onverhoopt herkozen worden, was geen optie? Ze zegt het niet maar impliceert wel het een en ander.

Useful idiot

The US is not a democracy, it's a republic ruled by a plutocracy.

Democracy is A good thing. Too much unnecessary rules and distraction give the wrong people space to gain false power. Like The Black World Domination Ambitions and other people who are serving them in hope for their promises. Mvg🔵🔴
