He was the third choice even in his own party and I understand why.

Inflammatory Merz remarks on migrants’ violence against women slammed

FYI: The reason for this discussion where Merz made the remarks is a case of sexual violence committed by a German man against a woman with a migration background.

There is a form of jury duty in Germany: Schöffe (honory judge).

You cannot kick them out but my uneducated guess (or is it hope?) is that the EU is waiting for the elections and if Orban wins for any reason there will be some kind of action like stripping Hungary of voting rights (article 7).

Would you say the same, when we have far right governments across Europe.

If my government would try to end democracy, insult allies on a daily basis, threaten war on allies, kidnap a head of state and his wife, start a war in the middle east, carpet bomb the country for weeks, talk about the next military adventure while the old one is still going, erect camps where people are concentrated, …

If all of that happens with a god-king-by-constitution leader who has the mental structure of a 5 year old, is a rapist, convicted felon and likely child rapist with zero respect for human life and dignity: Yes I would say the same. I would expect my fellow country men to end this or i would have exactly the same opinion.

Your smug sarcasm is neither welcome nor warranted

The f*ck it is! You threatened us with war. You insult us on a daily basis. You kidnapped a head of state. You started a blatantly illegal war of aggression and bomb a country of >90 million people into oblivion (infrastructure included) and while it is going you’re thinking about starting another war in Cuba because … it’s fun? You bring us to the brink of WW3. Every rogue country will try to develop nukes because it is the only protection from the USA. We pay the price for your stupidity (and with “you” I mean “you, the people”). You voted for him twice. TWICE!

Maybe […] they can come over to Washington DC and crackdown on right-wing fascists over here :)

Maybe you are expected to do it yourself instead of waiting for Mueller, Bernie, the Midterms, Jesus, Europe, … I know, it’s a completely new concept.

German here. He has a point. I am ashamed of my government.

Edit:

I have no talent to successfully organize a protest by myself, but I would attend if there is one.

How stable and reliable is the current German government?

Stable? I don’t know. Reliable? If you’re talking about reliably lying, you’re onto something.

Me too, and I’m German.
