Last Saturday, INSA published a nationwide poll that caused immense disquiet among the defenders of Our Democracy because it showed Alternative für Deutschland a whole seven fat points ahead of the centre-right Union parties.
Personally, I feel that's fine for leaders who have prevented and destroyed democracy and established a tiered law system, such as Ceausescu and other tyrants like him. The old saying: you can vote your way into socialism, but you can only shoot your way out.
The vast majority of people in the USA are dumb . I mean the white IQ for whites is 100 . So right there 50% have Iq less than 100 .
But whites have dwindled to 56% thanks to 1965-2024 “ open borders “ .
The mean IQ for blacks is 85 . So 34% of blacks have IQ of 70-85 with 16% between 55-70 . Hispanics aka Mexicans do slightly better than blacks but the data is light as they just keep coming and testing has now been banned . Even the SAT .
The 2025 freshman class at UC San Diego ( highly ranked ) ..60% could NOT “ round 274, 518 to the nearest hundred …60% !
At Harvard . I couldn’t belive it but there it was on the website . Dumbbell math for entering minorities with no SAT score . Who needs the SAT ?it is only the single best predictor of success in college
When I was at university I was given credit for tutoring remedial reading and writing students. What I discovered was horrifying. Few even bothered to show up for appointments, and most of those were functionally illiterate. Oddly, the only ones motivated to improve were dyslexic -- the ones who supposedly couldn't learn. Even more oddly, they were the ones who made actual progress.
Wait, I thought I heard the Democrat Marxists say recently that Math was racist? That if Devon says 3+3=9 who are we to challenge him? Now they are sneaking remedial math in the back door right behind all their unqualified and unprepared DEI admissions? Say it ain't so Ryan!
"I mean the white IQ for whites is 100. So right there 50% have Iq less than 100."
But this is a meaningless tautology. 100 IQ is literally *defined* as whatever level 50% perform above and 50% perform below. If the subject population gets smarter or dumber, then the 100 point is automatically redefined to represent a smarter or dumber absolute measure of intelligence.
But yes, white people are getting dumber. "Survival of the fittest" is nature's way of improving strength, health, and intelligence. "Easy times" allow us to salvage more and more of our less-fit for the obvious sentimental reasons -- not that one can say that's objectively a bad thing, but it does have unavoidable pessimizing consequences. Then, of course, you begin electing them -- and it's pretty much all over.
In 1969 Arthur Jensen of Berkeley published his landmark study on black/ White IQ ..since then we have spent hundreds of billions of dollars trying to educate the minorities yet the black/White test scores are the same as 1969 . Since then we have been invaded by Mexicans so now we have a mexican / White difference as well . also , we now have many Asians and have always had Jews who score even higher than Whites …Ashkenazi Jews mean IQ is about 112 or so .
I wouldn't say that the "vast majority" of people on the US are "dumb" due to IQ statistics alone, simply because having an IQ below 100 doesn't necessarily mean you're "dumb", and because half the population is ABOVE those mean IQs.
An elitist criticism of democracy is that it allows stupid, ignorant people to vote, to which I would counter: Don't stupid people deserve representation, too? The counterargument to that would be that this can lead to stupid people in office making stupid policy decisions which have a harmful effect on everyone. We saw this latter example during the previous US administration.
P.S. I'd like to see the results of simple math test for the FACULTY at UCSD.
I believe we can put to rest the fear that stupid people can elect stupid people. A cursory review of 2026 representation should be ample proof that stupid people DID elect the stupidest people to represent the country.
They won. We lost. Our best hope is that AOC isn't elected president in '28.
Our "smart" rulers summon us peasants because we're the ones who have learned that you don't have to touch the burner in order to determine that it's hot.
Boy that's a fact. Try using facts to sway an Anti-Trumper. You can see the wall go up. I think it may have been Mark Twain who said, "It's far easier to mislead someone, than to convince them, they have been mislead". The leftists have their own approved facts and Moses on high couldn't change their mind.
We have a Democracy here in the USA . Didn’t you see the democrat party nominate their candidate ? They fired the old Cadaver guy and put up the drunken Brainless black VP .
Voting ? Primary? …oh , that stuff …maybe next time .
For much of human history, people with the modern Lib grasp of reality, (or lack thereof), have been routinely consigned to institutions - "for their own good" - and for the safety of the community.
Well, there's one solution to the "homeless crisis", unconventional but hey, might be worth a look.
Calling these people "homeless" seems to suggest if you become unsheltered, the next result is you progress to live on a filthy sidewalk or garbage strewn vacant lot, unable to function and take care of yourself as you fall victim to a terrible paralyzing drug addiction and it's secondary mental illness. That losing one's abode causes this chain reaction.
"Homeless" is a big misnomer. A symptom of the actual disease.
Let's call it what it is. What they in fact are suffering, "the self imposed, drug addicted, mentally ill crisis". Who become homeless as a predictable result of really poor decisions. This would describe about 90% or more of the so called "Homeless".
The "I lost my job and became a tent camp resident due to hard times" isn't anywhere close to accurate in the vast majority of cases. Those people are clean of mind and find a way back. But not the addicted, the dopers.
I read a few days ago that overdose in just the past few years has killed more Americans than WW-2, Korea, Vietnam, combined. It's easily plausible.
The time has come to take a very stern change of direction on this problem of addiction driven mental illness. It would have to be harsh. Liberals would never go for it. So here we are.
I think because the people in Eastern Germany have already lived under a totalitarian regime so are more able to recognize its signs in a Government when they see it. And they see it all the anti-democratic posturing of the current regime and the German political Establishment
How could they miss it? It's as subtle as a thumb stuck in your eye. Germany is destroying itself, step by liberal step. Just like Democrats would love to do here in the USA. Not going too well for them at the moment.
Guess where everythingThe people of israel accuse everyone else of being they are secretly , but israel's genocide in gaza has been a blessing in a sense , it makes people not give a shit about israel's opinion anymore
"Dirk Peglow, chairman of the Federation of German Criminal Investigators"
Sorry, but I can't resist commenting that this sounds like a porn star's name.
More seriously... if we add the CDU and AfD percentages together, it suggests that German voters may be ready to ditch the green/socialist policies that have crippled the country's economy, with only the CDU establishment standing in the way. (I make a distinction between CDU voters and CDU politicians.)
That's the whole misery: retarded German voters (often times it's the boomers, ofc) vote CDU because they think it's still a center-right party (they're not). So the voters keep signalling they want a center-right government but they receive some left wing managerial bullshit. I fucking love democracy.
NYT , Harvard , Corporate, MSM , FBI CIa NSA etc . And “ permanent DC “ aka Deep State .
Michael Anton ( Claremont College ) went to work for Trump both times but left. because it was impossible to move the deep state . Trump has recently given up and decided to bomb the shit out of everyone else since he has been neutered by the deep state …again .
Well Epstein for one . He was told to stop . After all Epstein was murdered in a tax funded federal prison . By Trump’s Bill Barr whose father was a pal of Epstein .
Minnesota ended the immigration push by simply saying NO and Trump backed down ..there are whispers now about Amnesty “ we need the slave labor , Mr. President “
Israel neutered him . “ Nice Presidency you got here ( like JFK ) ..it would be a shame …”
I really don't understand why the CDU/CSU don't find their balls and join with the AfD. They would have an easy majority coalition even if they lost a few voters from either aide. I have been saying the same thing for the past few years. The CDU/CSU can either by the Senior or Junior partner in a coalition with the AfD. It is their choice. Senior partner now or Junior partner in a couple of years.
It was Merkel who began trashing the country's economy by shutting down the nukes after she'd agreed to extend their running time with her coalition partner the FDP long before the Fukushima panic set in.
Of course she was caving to pressure from the Greens/SPD, who were running around
screaming "Shut down the nukes or we're all going to DIE!!!!"
No different than Obama's Nobel Peace Prize, which he won for not starting any wars in his first 48 hours in office. Then he dropped 26,000 bombs on seven countries.
Exactly. 👍 The country needs to change course or it will keep sinking into a Third World standard of living (even if immigration from Third World countries were to stop today).
That sounds like fascism. Soon, you will also be expecting people to be able to vote for candidates of their choice, for those in power to actually reflect the wishes of the people that elect them, or for bureaucracies to serve the people and not the other way around. We need to defend democracy against all of those abuses. /s
In USA we voted for Trump to end forever wars and spend the money at home helping Americans . Instead he decided to bomb the ___ out of everyone and make himself richer still
The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies.
One has to recognize the speaker. Quigley was in the vanguard of those who led our "traditional" left down the rabbit hole and then through the Looking Glass.
These fools don't even understand their own Volksgeist.
Germans, if nothing else, are a determined bunch.
I don't think the overlords understand that their own people are going to overcorrect so hard on gay-race communism that it's going to make MAGA look a liberal preschool.
When the quasi-official grift gets into the trillions, and the powers that be cease to pretend to to govern "for the people", the natives tend to get restless.
Which is exactly what we're seeing in Germany, the UK, the US, Canada, Australia.
Agreed. When the wishes of the majority of citizens are suppressed for too long, the result is something like July 14, 1789 in Paris, or June 13, 1990 in Bucharest. It never ends well for the overlords.
Nah, there might be some incidents, but, once Trump is cooked or retired, things will settle down for the Left. AfD has to hit 50%. MAGA has to win in 2028.
It is quite clear that the logical next step is to make voter-centric parties illegal.
Or possibly voting itself; I can see where "representational voting" might be instituted, in order that silly people who think they're just as good as the bureaucrats and politicians will have their votes cast for them... for their own good, of course.
Here in the United States, one of our parties is already working that way, only they call it "ballot harvesting' and "Voter ID is racist."
"Threat to Our Democracy" is already in wide use, too.
“Ban the vote” would be the new campaign to save democracy
- or perhaps transfer the power of each citizen’s vote to AI agents who can do it better and more in alignment with the unelected bureaucrats than the citizens they replace
This harkens back to the US Democratic party's self-"autopsy" after the 2016 election of Donald Trump. With similar tone-deafness, they refused to even consider why they had alienated so many voters.
The speech accompanying the release was strangely morphologically identical to Trump's speech apologizing for having held off releasing Epstein for so long that it "caused a distraction."
The cause of the loss? "Inconsistent messaging." Of course! Not the actual message!
The problem can never be that the voters rejected your message. It is only allowed to be that your message was too infrequently delivered, or too insufficiently explained with exhaustive zealotry.
We shall go on to the end, we shall message in Saxony, we shall message on the seas and oceans, we shall message with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our democracy, whatever the cost may be, we shall message on the beaches, we shall message on the landing grounds, we shall message in the fields and in the streets, we shall message in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this democracy or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our overlords beyond the Brussel borders, armed and guarded by the Eurocrat Fleet, would carry on the messaging, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
Is this why they have summoned The Merkel from her slumber, forcing her to leave the shadows of her lair for the blinding lights of the television panels once more?
Merkel and Schroeder could not have done more damage to Germany even if they had been paid agents of Russia. Oh wait...Gerhard was a naughty boy, wasn't he?
It might be useful to publish for English speakers a summary of what practical changes you predict an AfD-led government might make.
Discarding the fringe elements unlikely to make real policy, what would it mean in practical, observable terms for the AfD to take power in Saxony, in other states, at the Federal level?
They, the establishment, are the ones who have made AfD not just a possibility but a necessity!
Let's you have a party called The Super-do-good-bestest Democratic Party, and that party allows (f.e.) foreign rapists and murderers to not just remain alive but living for free in the nation TSdgbDP rules.
Let's say people protest this and are shut down with pejoratives, slurs, threats and guilt-tripping by the TSdgbDP-loyal media and state apparatus.
Then, some people found The Evil-get-stuff-done-Party-of-the-People and proposes murderers and such are to be executed, or locked up for ever.
"Should we stop importing 3rd world migroids and sacrificing the economy to the climate gods? Naaah, let's write a salty pamphlet, that'll bring people back around." It really can't be overstated how retarded and unnecessary the political decisions of the past decade have been. German autistic extremism strikes again.
As Peter Hönig observed here, "Progressivism is 90% word magic. The other 10% is daddy issues." Solving issues, or writing pamphlets? An easy choice that lets you play to your strengths.
Germany is well overdue for a major political course correction. Their “leaders” in Berlin have been taking orders from the EU fools in Brussels for far too long.
Biden salted the earth in the US pretty well. Killed pipelines; closed entire energy and mining industries; declared his political opponents domestic terrorists (and one particularly irksome one a 34-time felon); destroyed meritocracy in favor of tribalism; promoted the mutilation of children; threw silos full of money at climate, racial, green, and pharma fraudsters; and -- worst of all -- left our doors wide open for infiltration and outright invasion by foreign felons, cartels, and mortal enemy nations.
We're recovering... but it will take dozens of Republican administrations to undue all the damage.
Hear that, Democrats? Be sure to thank each other!
If I ran the AfD, I'd refuse the overture. In a coalition, CDU would insist on identifying as the "big brother." Instead, let things go on exactly as they are, and soon enough AfD won't NEED them.
Well--it was not a reference those who don't read eugyppius's X feed could be expected to easily get. As it is I'm often baffled by twitter/X lingo and guy in-jokes etc. etc. and considering I'm an old lady ex-Noo Yawkuh I'm grateful to pick up on anything.
The constant warnings about the "far right" are all based on the Big Lie (as Dinesh D'Souza calls it) that the Nazis were a "right-wing" party. Until this notion is finally and fully debunked, the nonsense will continue.
National Socialism is Not Right-Wing
How the deceptive mislabeling of fascism and Nazism distorts modern politics
Who knew that former communist Germany would become a bastion for freedom and democracy?
It is because they have experienced communist reality. It did NOT work.
As the Cuban Americans keep saying.
But this time is different! /s
;-) It has been happening for thousands of years. The theory in a Democracy is that change is peaceful, not banning parties and having tantrums.
There is the old way, when leaders and their lot were shot in a coup. Let us stay away from the good old days, shall we?
Personally, I feel that's fine for leaders who have prevented and destroyed democracy and established a tiered law system, such as Ceausescu and other tyrants like him. The old saying: you can vote your way into socialism, but you can only shoot your way out.
So true. A peaceful transaction is a hallmark of democracy.
Yelling and protest are permitted and some are desired.
That those darn commies took away their grandparents' plantations and freed their slaves?
fuck commies everywhere
les, less is more. great comment without sentence 2. :)
It did work for ordinary folk but not for capitalist elites?
Facts. But, don't worry, much like the US, many Germans won't let facts get in the way of their indoctrination.

(Note to Europeans: many questions are parochial to the US.)
100 years ago higher education was an achievement, not an entitlement.
When I was at university I was given credit for tutoring remedial reading and writing students. What I discovered was horrifying. Few even bothered to show up for appointments, and most of those were functionally illiterate. Oddly, the only ones motivated to improve were dyslexic -- the ones who supposedly couldn't learn. Even more oddly, they were the ones who made actual progress.

We are doomed
And will illiterate graduates cry racism (or something-ism) when employers ignore their diplomas?

Everyone has to touch the stove for themselves to be sure it’s hot. Humans are silly.
To the contrary, verifying the data for yourself instead of trusting someone else is the smart thing to do.
The way you tell the smart ones from the dumb ones is in HOW they touch it.
Yes the smart ones are in charge and get others to burn their hands.
Our "smart" rulers summon us peasants because we're the ones who have learned that you don't have to touch the burner in order to determine that it's hot.
Sadly that is true. Reality is an alien concept to these people.

Well, there's one solution to the "homeless crisis", unconventional but hey, might be worth a look.

I really don't understand why the CDU/CSU don't find their balls and join with the AfD. They would have an easy majority coalition even if they lost a few voters from either aide. I have been saying the same thing for the past few years. The CDU/CSU can either by the Senior or Junior partner in a coalition with the AfD. It is their choice. Senior partner now or Junior partner in a couple of years.
They won't. They're locked in to their terror of the AfD. Most Union apparatchiks are midwit parasites, bought by the system.
The AfD is the only party that even remotely fights for German interests.
They'll be forced to do exactly that at some point.
The political firewall against the AfD is unsustainable, but the "Altparteien" and
their media lapdogs are still totally invested in it, and they're afraid of losing credibility by abandoning it.
Their voters cling to the idea that AfD is fascistic, while the Altparteien tell them
to prepare for war against Russia.
Complete lunacy.
They haven't got any. And how can that police guy comment on party politics? Aren't they meant to be neutral??
Because the center party voted for the enabling act, and as you know that historical parallel is a 1:1 recreation of the current situation.
$$$$$$
Lol... good one, bro!
Like "Dirk Diggler"
It was Merkel who began trashing the country's economy by shutting down the nukes after she'd agreed to extend their running time with her coalition partner the FDP long before the Fukushima panic set in.
Of course she was caving to pressure from the Greens/SPD, who were running around

Merkel also opened the floodgates for the Middle East as millions poured in..that said, didn’t some German group just give her a big award 🤪
The European Order of Merit.
Managerialists giving awards to other managerialists.
She also won the UNHCR Nansen Refugee Award for importing rapists and murderers.
No different than Obama's Nobel Peace Prize, which he won for not starting any wars in his first 48 hours in office. Then he dropped 26,000 bombs on seven countries.
473 strikes across the ME and in Africa.
And he still found time to take out Gadaffi.
A veritable Prince of Peace.
And used drones to kill even US. citizens.
They had a kill list that they went over every Tuesday ( true )
omg. disgusting
Let the stabbings begin !
I kinda think the Germans and Brits have warmed up to the stabbings . “ It’s their culture “ after all .
Exactly. 👍 The country needs to change course or it will keep sinking into a Third World standard of living (even if immigration from Third World countries were to stop today).

Not likely.

You can discover your very own porn star name by adding your middle name to your nearest street name! - "Lee Talton" 😁
Ugh. My nearest street is 264th. I'm going to have to make science fiction porn.
I think you're allowed to cast the net a little wider if needed. I didn't live on Talton, but it was nearby, and I thought it had a nice ring to it. 😁
I'm thinking Carefree is a way better name for a porn ACTRESS.
That means my porn name is Patrick Stewart which I think might be taken already
Porn star.... now that's funny, and spot on.
But will the alternative be any better?
Not a high bar to beat
I've seen people fail to step over the bar and then limbo all the way down to hell
The current crew has steered the country into the ditch. I'd be curious to see if the replacements can get it out.
Wishful thinking, U?
A willingness to change course is not wishful thinking. Do you prefer continuing Germany's recent drift into economic stagnation?
Better reason than most. But i wonder. Where are the people?
Isn’t that the point of elections, to have a blatant interference with the state apparatus?
That sounds like fascism. Soon, you will also be expecting people to be able to vote for candidates of their choice, for those in power to actually reflect the wishes of the people that elect them, or for bureaucracies to serve the people and not the other way around. We need to defend democracy against all of those abuses. /s
Then call me a fascist 🤣🤣
OK, you're a fascist.
But then, by that metric, so am I, and most of the folks with whom I associate.
I’ll drink to that …of course I drink to the sunrise ..
**Raises Glass**
And a great sunrise it is, Ray
In USA we voted for Trump to end forever wars and spend the money at home helping Americans . Instead he decided to bomb the ___ out of everyone and make himself richer still
The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies.
--PROF. CARROLL QUIGLEY, ADVISOR TO JFK AND LBJ
Any of those options are wrong, putting the cart before the horse
One has to recognize the speaker. Quigley was in the vanguard of those who led our "traditional" left down the rabbit hole and then through the Looking Glass.
These fools don't even understand their own Volksgeist.
Germans, if nothing else, are a determined bunch.
I don't think the overlords understand that their own people are going to overcorrect so hard on gay-race communism that it's going to make MAGA look a liberal preschool.
Its that tenuous grasp on reality.
All over the "West", the peasants are revolting.
When the quasi-official grift gets into the trillions, and the powers that be cease to pretend to to govern "for the people", the natives tend to get restless.
Which is exactly what we're seeing in Germany, the UK, the US, Canada, Australia.
Agreed. When the wishes of the majority of citizens are suppressed for too long, the result is something like July 14, 1789 in Paris, or June 13, 1990 in Bucharest. It never ends well for the overlords.
Nah, there might be some incidents, but, once Trump is cooked or retired, things will settle down for the Left. AfD has to hit 50%. MAGA has to win in 2028.
It is quite clear that the logical next step is to make voter-centric parties illegal.
Or possibly voting itself; I can see where "representational voting" might be instituted, in order that silly people who think they're just as good as the bureaucrats and politicians will have their votes cast for them... for their own good, of course.
Here in the United States, one of our parties is already working that way, only they call it "ballot harvesting' and "Voter ID is racist."
"Threat to Our Democracy" is already in wide use, too.
“Ban the vote” would be the new campaign to save democracy
- or perhaps transfer the power of each citizen’s vote to AI agents who can do it better and more in alignment with the unelected bureaucrats than the citizens they replace
This harkens back to the US Democratic party's self-"autopsy" after the 2016 election of Donald Trump. With similar tone-deafness, they refused to even consider why they had alienated so many voters.
They don't want to release it because it's going to say exactly what their base doesn't want to hear:
Enough with the white-bashing and gay-race communism.
Ho ho! It has finally been released!
https://legalinsurrection.com/2026/05/dnc-releases-2024-presidential-campaign-autopsy-report/
The speech accompanying the release was strangely morphologically identical to Trump's speech apologizing for having held off releasing Epstein for so long that it "caused a distraction."
The cause of the loss? "Inconsistent messaging." Of course! Not the actual message!
I was referring to the 2016 autopsy, but by now they must have made a template.
The problem can never be that the voters rejected your message. It is only allowed to be that your message was too infrequently delivered, or too insufficiently explained with exhaustive zealotry.
We shall go on to the end, we shall message in Saxony, we shall message on the seas and oceans, we shall message with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our democracy, whatever the cost may be, we shall message on the beaches, we shall message on the landing grounds, we shall message in the fields and in the streets, we shall message in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this democracy or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our overlords beyond the Brussel borders, armed and guarded by the Eurocrat Fleet, would carry on the messaging, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
The reason the left can't meme is because it can never help manifesto-ing.
or Bond villain monologue-ing
Stirring!
credit Churchill for the stirring framework
Yes, I noticed.
Cursed numbers!
Is this why they have summoned The Merkel from her slumber, forcing her to leave the shadows of her lair for the blinding lights of the television panels once more?
It is, without a doubt, a most dire omen.
Merkel is your Hillary
Merkel and Schroeder could not have done more damage to Germany even if they had been paid agents of Russia. Oh wait...Gerhard was a naughty boy, wasn't he?
Isn't it just
It might be useful to publish for English speakers a summary of what practical changes you predict an AfD-led government might make.
Discarding the fringe elements unlikely to make real policy, what would it mean in practical, observable terms for the AfD to take power in Saxony, in other states, at the Federal level?
Why can't they understand?
They, the establishment, are the ones who have made AfD not just a possibility but a necessity!
Let's you have a party called The Super-do-good-bestest Democratic Party, and that party allows (f.e.) foreign rapists and murderers to not just remain alive but living for free in the nation TSdgbDP rules.
Let's say people protest this and are shut down with pejoratives, slurs, threats and guilt-tripping by the TSdgbDP-loyal media and state apparatus.
Then, some people found The Evil-get-stuff-done-Party-of-the-People and proposes murderers and such are to be executed, or locked up for ever.
What made TgsdPotP exist?
"Should we stop importing 3rd world migroids and sacrificing the economy to the climate gods? Naaah, let's write a salty pamphlet, that'll bring people back around." It really can't be overstated how retarded and unnecessary the political decisions of the past decade have been. German autistic extremism strikes again.
As Peter Hönig observed here, "Progressivism is 90% word magic. The other 10% is daddy issues." Solving issues, or writing pamphlets? An easy choice that lets you play to your strengths.
Liberalism really just is the hatred of god for the crime of being
Germany is well overdue for a major political course correction. Their “leaders” in Berlin have been taking orders from the EU fools in Brussels for far too long.
But, given the damage done to the German economy , will the country be “rescuable”?
Biden salted the earth in the US pretty well. Killed pipelines; closed entire energy and mining industries; declared his political opponents domestic terrorists (and one particularly irksome one a 34-time felon); destroyed meritocracy in favor of tribalism; promoted the mutilation of children; threw silos full of money at climate, racial, green, and pharma fraudsters; and -- worst of all -- left our doors wide open for infiltration and outright invasion by foreign felons, cartels, and mortal enemy nations.
We're recovering... but it will take dozens of Republican administrations to undue all the damage.
Hear that, Democrats? Be sure to thank each other!
CDU can still change course and work with AfD to curtail immigration. If it doesn't, then it must be allowed to die -- like Timmy the humpback whale.
Yes, the CDU are idiots. How much is 22% + 29%?
Oh, right, that's 51%...
If I ran the AfD, I'd refuse the overture. In a coalition, CDU would insist on identifying as the "big brother." Instead, let things go on exactly as they are, and soon enough AfD won't NEED them.
I feel bad for laughing , but I nearly spit my coffee across the kitchen. Well played.
"CDU can still change course and work with AfD"
Hmmm. Brings to mind old sayings re flying pigs and icebergs in hell.
This has been fascinating to watch even from a distance.
Horstine's fate is some metaphor for the ruling parties in Germany, ain't it?
all of them rotting and dead on a beach and nobody knows how to get rid of them
Gonna be raining blubber for a long time. Best to hope for a cool summer.
Explosives seem appropriate.
Rename the CDU Ahab?
Unf cannot strap them to whales as they will just re-beach themselves
Do you mean Blair Hornstine?
https://www.vpm.org/npr-news/2009-06-16/excerpt-and-then-theres-this
I do not.
Whoops…I just now read eugyppius column on Hornstine the whale.
PS: Horstine! Horstine!
Well--it was not a reference those who don't read eugyppius's X feed could be expected to easily get. As it is I'm often baffled by twitter/X lingo and guy in-jokes etc. etc. and considering I'm an old lady ex-Noo Yawkuh I'm grateful to pick up on anything.
Gonna be a lot of Horst Whalesong the next few years.
Naughty! Naughty!
Really looking forward to September.
The constant warnings about the "far right" are all based on the Big Lie (as Dinesh D'Souza calls it) that the Nazis were a "right-wing" party. Until this notion is finally and fully debunked, the nonsense will continue.
National Socialism is Not Right-Wing
How the deceptive mislabeling of fascism and Nazism distorts modern politics
https://russp.substack.com/p/the-false-flag-of-right-wing-fascism
Bingo
EXACTLY! Wake up everyone!!!!!!! Do just a little research.
D’Souza’s book, The Big Lie referenced a German exchange student who helped draft the Nuremberg Laws.
So I Grokked Heinrich Krieger to find out more about him and this is what I found. Even the NAZIs thought our
southern Democrats were a bit extreme.
