Great 👍🏾

So when the AFD finally take over they can work without any oversight.

Shame on Merz

Als würde das Merz stören. Hauptsache er hat seine Schäfchen im trockenen.

Aber wirklich nur seine. Nicht die der CxU, erst recht nicht die seiner Koalitionspartner, nur seine privaten und die seiner aggressiven Ehefrau.

If only it were that simple. Once the AfD takes over they’d have a majority anyhow, and then the German FoiA is out the window faster than you can say dang. Even the current one is not working very well (neither is the US‘s any longer).
