Just learned about this option of gaining German Citizenship. So many benefits, including getting to travel on a German passport. And an exist strategy, just in case.
Now working with a third cousin contacted via AncestryDNA who has done extensive genealogical research and is trying to establish the link between us, and also establish a link into Germany.

My father was a German
My father was a German National at the time of my birth, he is now a naturalized American citizen.
One day, I was playing around on the intranet, and it seemed I could possibly be considered a German citizen, although I was born here in the USA.
https://www.germany.info/us-en/service/03-Citizenship/german-citizenship...
So I went down to the Deutsche Consulate here on Wilshire Blvd, in beautiful Los Angeles, ca, and sure enough those guys gave me a German passport.
the only time it came in handy was to skip the lines at the airport, and it has since expired. I actually picked up the documents last week to get it reinstated.
i need to make an appointment.

L.A. Times report on Trump
L.A. Times report on Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS):
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of hyperbole."
"In the advanced stages of the disease, the afflicted lose touch with reality. Opinion is unmoored from fact. Life resembles a dark fairy tale in which the villain – Trump – is an amalgam of all the worst tyrants in history, past and present, while the heroes –Trump's critics – are akin to the resistance fighters of World War II."

Hate to break it to you, Mark, but anti-Semitism is the new, hip thing, especially among the ultra liberal sect. It’s very real, and not very pleasant. Without getting into details, I have recently seen it close up and personal, from someone that I would have never expected it from.
For better or worse, I attribute it to “Trump’s America,” where people don’t hold back and say what they really think. What they think is that Jews are the problem.

The far Right has scapegoated immigrants and Blacks, and has embraced Jews. So what has the far Left done? Embraced migrants and Blacks, and scapegoated Jews. Couple that with the tens of millions, from any and all parts of the political spectrum, who just don’t like Jews, and it’s a scary time.

Actually it looks like Brian K is making a valid point. Scary shit.
"Recently the national co-chair of the Women’s March, Tamika Mallory, attended a Nation of Islam event in which Louis Farrakhan called Jews his “enemy” and held them responsible for “this filth and degenerate behavior that Hollywood is putting out turning men into women and women into men.” Mallory had previously posted a photo of herself with Farrakhan and praised him as the “GOAT” or “greatest of all time” in her caption.
When Mallory finally responded to critics, she cast herself as a victim and defended Farrakhan. Fellow Women’s March co-chairs Linda Sarsour and Carmen Perez also defended Farrakhan."

Interesting take on what
Interesting take on what Briank said St. Mark....
Especially considering the source.
NY Post:
Notes: The New York Post is a daily tabloid type newspaper from New York City. This source can swing very far to the right, but does occasionally provide a balanced account. The New York Post typically uses very sensational headlines such as: It’s time for Bill Clinton to take a walk in the Chappaqua woods.
They also have a questionable record with fact checkers. The New York Post is not a very credible news source.
Overall, we rate the New York Post Right-Center biased based on story selection that favors the right and Mixed for factual reporting based on failed fact checks. (7/16/2016) Updated (5/19/2018)

I enjoyed my visits to Germany back when ('90's) but the Pizza was lousy. Forget about a Cheese Steak.
However, if you like a big Swine roast / leg / chop they really do that just right.
My thoughts of living there, or perhaps marrying the German Girlfriend, buffered by reality:
- No German language skills. Sure I could learn a bit, but it took years to learn Spanish at a conversational level.
- The Climate. Cold in Winter, Muggy in Summer. Spain or Portugal seems like a better choice.
- Earning a living. Germans are hard-working folks with skills, degrees, connections.
- The Vibe. Everyone's so uptight there. I wouldn't ever say 'They're sooo laid back, maaannn..."

Wrap your head around this:
Wrap your head around this: Maga P.I.
Joseph Sullivan Maganowski IV (AKA Maga to his pals) is an ex-Navy Seal who helped kill Osama bin Laden and now in semi-retirement he has chosen to live his life traveling around the country he loves and helped defend. He loves going from beautiful resort city to resort city only to realize everywhere he goes there are people he believes must be illegal aliens. In each city instead of enjoying his vacation and hooking up with women who would always be hitting on him, he’s pre-occupied with getting illegal aliens. After doing his investigation at the end of the episode he’ll discover that the people he thought were illegal aliens were actually hard working American citizens. He’ll give a speech about how he was wrong to judge people by the color of their skin and not the content of their character and that shit.
Then, in the next episode, it happens all over again, but in a different place. We could probably squeeze a good 20 episodes out of that.

What?! First I've heard of this, maybe your friend is just a racist asshole? FWIW I don't consider Women's Marchers to be ultra liberal, it's a feminist movement that neo-liberals piggybacked on in 2016. Not that there's anything wrong with more support than usual.
