  1. Now it’s proven. Americans have always been dumb as a loaf of bread.

    • Said the guy who soon will be arrested for doing memes

    • Hahaha, you are as blind as hatefull. The only country you would go to jail for memes are your precious Russia, you know, they elected your president, and some mulim states.

    • EUro could look it up in books, like those librarians did. It’s not that hard. All you have to do is read. Something Trump doesn’t do.

    • EUrotrash: If you are looking for hate, look no further than your own mirror.

    • Franco, Mussolini, Salazar, Stalin, ….yep We Europeans are genius…Le Pen, Salvini, Obran, Costa, Sanchez, Iglesias…what a crop!

    A wonderful and enjoyable page. The New Year’s day card with two questions from a “hesitant” young woman was it’s own micro-short story. Thank you for sharing, Ms/Mr OP.
