The US and UK have more crazy people, but Germans have the best crazy people.............

[Tell It Right]

Alexander Dobrindt, German's interior minister, accused the group of attempting to "undermine the rule of law" by creating an alternative state and spreading "antisemitic conspiracy narratives to back up their supposed claim to authority".

Then arrest the Muslims.

Yep!...................

[tumblindice]

That’s pretty much what Paul Johnson said in his book Art, talking about a self-portrait by Albrecht Dürer, his haunted eyes.
The Germans: always moving East & West, constantly searching for shaven women and a good, square meal that isn’t bloody sausages and sour cabbage.
Merkel may have done more damage to Europe than you-know-who. hmmm rant over

[Larry Lucido]

Fitzek, a former chef and karate instructor

He specialized in chops.

[sjmjax]

Sounds a bit like the German version of our “Sovereign Citizen” movement.

[MtnClimber]

But, but, but...they IDENTIFIED as the rulers of Germany.

[Red Badger]

Yeah, well his goose is cooked now!................

Should have kept the Kaiser after WWI, would have saved the world a lot of grief.

[Justice]

LOL

[Leaning Right]

> identified himself to judges as “Peter the First” <

Dumb guy. You can only be Peter the First after there’s a Peter the Second.

So if he really wants to go around calling himself Peter the First, he’s got name as his successor another guy named Peter, then abdicate.

This sounds like arresting the “King Baldwin III” of your local “Ye Olde Renaissance Faire.”

They sound like dangerous insurrectionists but are probably easier to arrest than the Muslims or local Revolutionary Communist cells.

I wonder if King Peter tried to lay a mace to the arresting gendarmes, but since it was rubber, they were eventually able to subdue him.

[Seruzawa]

In the US we just give these nuts a soapbox and a place in the town park and chuckle. Europeans can’t stand it.

[Leaning Right]

> Should have kept the Kaiser after WWI… <

You betcha. But Wilhelm II made the same egotistical mistake as did Russia’s Tsar Nicholas II and Italy’s Victor Emmanuel III.

They all abdicated too late to save their monarchies.

Kinda like Joe Biden did, maybe?

Thankfully we wised up after WWII and kept Hirohito. Probably saved Japan from going Communist.

[Deaf Smith]

Reads like the Republic of Texas group in the mid 1990’s.

Note that the leaders of the Republic of Texas were all shot & killed.

[Dr. Franklin]

But he's not Georg Friedrich, Prince of Prussia

[PGR88]

The Hohenzollern House in Germany and Central Europe is still around.

Friederike Thyra Marion Wilhelmine Dorothea von der Osten, pictured above, is a direct descendant of Kaiser Wilhem II as well as Queen Victoria.

I'd probably go with her, before this self-proclaimed Prince Peter guy.
