Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), along with her colleague Al Green (D-TX), is a leader of the impeach-Trump movement. But in 1998, Waters called impeachment a "coup d'etat." And she wasn't just upset about because she thought Bill Clinton was not guilty, she was upset at the use of the institution of impeachment. She called it an "unapologetic disregard for the voice of the people" and an "abuse of power in the collecting of so-called 'evidence' and the denial of the presumption of innocence." But isn't this exactly what she's proposing doing to President Trump?

Well, I used to work at a plant that made the Cadillac Coupe de Ville. That's why I thought about the Coup d'etat being a French version.

Not an answer to my question.
In response to your point, Americans have less need of multilingualism, and we have plenty of advantages over the other peoples of the world.
Even if you don't believe we are superior culturally (and we are), it is the height of arrogance to believe we are inferior.
Even Cultural relativism demands we get credit for equality.

So what are we to infer from your off topic post insulting another site member and all Americans?
Who but an Obsessed Internationalist Liberal would have brought it up in this thread?

[Dr.3D]

If it were not for those inferior Americans, the French would be speaking German.
