Trump says military may consider disciplinary action against Vindman

I have several posts about the misuse of the term traitor. Even the Rosenbergs were not traitors because we were not at war. They were convicted of espionage.

I also made several posts about the misuse of the term socialism but its meaning has become so distorted it is beyond hope. Liberals use it to mean social programs and conservatives use it to attack liberal proposals.

I agree that the term gets thrown around carelessly, but what some of the hard lefties advocate is socialism.

If the New Green Deal is ever instituted the government will have near totalitarian control over people’s lives.

Who would go through Checkpoint Charlie after the wall came down? That is the whole reason they dismantled Checkpoint Charlie so quickly, because no one was using it. Kurfürstendamm is miles away from Checkpoint Charlie. The West Berlin side of Checkpoint Charlie had a lot of heroin markets around it, not exactly the best show of capitalism. It was difficult to get businesses going in a place that customers could only come from in one direction. Actually, that was a problem for West Berlin in general. It was an island out in the middle of nowhere, so needed a huge amount of government support to keep it from economically collapsing.

The main thing you can see from Checkpoint Charlie is in East Berlin, and that is Alexanderplatz. I am not a big fan of that tower, but it is hardly what you describe it as being.

I was referring to Berlin in the 70's! When the wall came down there was no need for Check point Charlie and it was closed as a military entrance to East Berlin. If you were not there during the wall you have no idea how East and West Berlin differed. I didn't say the Ku'damm was near Checkpoint Charlie Einstein! It was an example to show the differences between the divided city. Just so you know the differences here are pics of Checkpoint Charlie, East and West Berlin when I was stationed there and today. Try to figure which is which.

This is typical of what the reich wing brings to the conversation. Truth Detector could have made a truthful comment to support his beliefs, but it would not have been a complete support. So instead, he posts a nonsense lie.

Blaming East Germany for the state of the Reichstag is NONSENSE. The Reichstag was NOT in East Germany. It was in West Germany. The Berlin Wall ran down the back of it, with the whole building being in West Germany. The West German's failed to rebuild it.

Why do you like being a moron Walt? I was born in Germany. I think I know the difference. But unlike the uneducated fool you seem to be, I have been there. Berlin was located in EAST Germany Walt. You couldn't get there without traveling through, or over East Germany.

West Berlin was a clean modern city. East Berlin looked like it had been in a wormhole. Church's in disrepair, utilities above ground instead of underground, the Reichstag's building and area surrounding it were still pockmarked with bullet holes. The copper domes on buildings were black with soot. If you drove into a typical small town in East Germany, the roads were still cobblestone and in terrible disrepair and there were NO services.....like Gast hauses, butchers and hair salons.

You should really bloviate less, and listen more so that you might learn and not look like such a mental midget on steroids. :rolleyes:

The irony for idiots like Walt is that Checkpoint Charlie still exists as a monument and tourist attraction. :laugh:
