The solution is simple. Expel all AdF members, then have another vote.
Just kidding… for now. But if the AdF continues to gain strength, that well could happen. Because as we all know, Deep Staters just don’t like opposition.
Ugh. In post #4, it’s AfD, not AdF.
I can’t blame autocorrect for that. But I will anyway.
No,it's not a typo
Well,they could just do what Rat Party Headquarters tried to do and what France succeeded in doing just the other day.
... show me your true colors . . .
Stasi Bitch.
That’s about it. GIF is good find.
Merz needed at least 316 votes to become chancellor, but only got 310.
He is still expected to win. Next vote must be within 14 days.
For corns sake Lucy!
His skull looks like it is going to explode.
Just what I was thinking. NaughtZees gonna naughtZee.

Yeah. In early 1933 the Nazis were in a minority in the Reichstag. All other parties were eventually expelled. Poof! The Nazis then had the control they wanted.
The Reichstag fire helped. Perhaps today’s German Deep Staters will plan something similar, then blame it on the AfD.
Ask the AfD for help.
It's no wonder the masses are revolting, especially given the push to outlaw alternative parties like afD.
2nd try, he’s in.
Whew! EUtopia safe again. 😂😂😂
Dang!
