German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is a lying Fritz, a Pinocchio, a varnished monkey, a foppish dandy, and a showboat.
I live in the U.S., so he can't prosecute me like he just did with German citizens who called him those things.

Until the next censorship-loving dem gets in office decides to cooperate with an extradition request.

In the early to mid 2000s? An American who lived in America and sold Nazi memorabilia was breaking German law (mail order I guess) he was untouchable of course, until he visited Amsterdam, where the Germans nabbed him, the media nor the American government was interested in the shocking event.
Yes
He certainly sounds like “a lying Fritz, a Pinocchio, a varnished monkey, a foppish dandy, and a showboat.” Would I be prosecuted if I went to Germany now? That is, if I go behind the Iron Curtain II?
Was ist los?
A varnished monkey? Now them’s fightin’ words where I come from.
I liked Fred Merz better when he was married to Ethel...
If you want to be a politician you have to be able to take name calling , especially when you’re a useless politician
But, other than that......
And those are just his best qualities.
Context? Yeesh what is it with the internet just posting tweets without the context behind them anymore?
Ironically, whether you call it the Social Democratic Party of Germany, the National Socialist German Workers Party, or whatever, it’s all the same thing - a party led by an egotistical wannabe dictator leading Germany into the abyss.
Following the tale of CJ Hopkins. German courts do not have double jeopardy.
What do you mean? It wouldn't be the internet if it made any sense, right?
Colonel Klink.
Not much to say....popularity peaked summer of last year. This coalition with SPD has not been fruitful. If you had elections right now...CDU-CSU-SPD would get near 32-percent of the vote combined.
Economy in the crapper....tax-binge underway...jobs leaving the country...auto industry in free-fall...quarter-million Germans leave yearly.
Even if he were to resign...there’s no real leadership within the CDU-CSU that could pick up the pieces.
Would you and your German wife ever consider leaving?
She might consider it after 2029...retirement early age. My issue...between weather, state taxes, nutcase statistics and property tax crap...theres probably only four states I’d consider. I will admit...German property taxes are overly fair...I feel awful safe in my village...no speed limits on the autobahn, and mild summers are nice.
