Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

[america hurt itself in its confusion]
As a German I've been humiliated by that sorry excuse of a human being for a long time. Capitalist, egoistic, inhumane douchebag.
Germany has known worse leaders…
Is that supposed to make us feel better?
"It could be worse"
Same question :D
Yes. At least you’re not majority voting for nazis anymore
Actually no. "At least we are not Nazis anymore" isnt worth shit. Germany owned their past pretty well if you ask me, much better than the US with the confederacy or native Americans. They deserve to complain about their leadership in peace.
Fair point
Afd coming in hot :(
man, wouldnt that be the icing on the shitcake. Its heartening to think that things could still get worse.
Nazis never achieved absolute majority of the vote. Only after being enabled by the "conservative right" did they basically abolish the state and founded a new one where only 1 party was allowed.
You’re right, thanks.
That's the lowest possible bar
German democracy isn't "winner takes all", it's the opposite, they need to form a coalition and nobody likes them enough to do it, so these numbers aren't as scary as they could be. Still, terrifying, but not immanently so
One. Edit: Two, forgot Kiesinger
No, come on. More than one.
I really want to disagree with you, but Kiesinger was a literal Nazi and Kohl was blatantly and openly corrupt.
Shit I forgot about Kiesinger.
As a German, I was gonna write pretty much this but got baited to more direct insults :)
Blud, the United States is being humiliated by its own goddamn government.
The US is being humiliated and embarrassed by their low IQ, corrupt, no class, narcissistic president. Good job American voter, good fucking job 👏 👍. Can't wait to see who they vote in next 🙄😬
We were thinking maybe the Ultimate Warrior, or Jared from Subway. Hell, maybe even an inanimate object, like a balogna sandwich, or Melania.
Either way, the next season of America is going to be lit.
Well, Warrior is dead, so that might actually improve things
Conservatives at least in the US have a kink for humiliation. Just the most recent big example being Kristy Nome's husband. Which, hey; enjoy your kinks. Not here to admonish anyone for their kinks. Just for violating consent and making everyone else a party to it.
The American people are being humiliated by almost everyone, Iran is not special.
Most of all, the US is being humiliated by US leadership.
Incoming 3rd grade level and very personal insults against Merz and Germany from the Whitehouse in 3, 2, 1...
Why wait for the white house? Fotzenfritz is a corrupt selfish narcissistic piece of shit.
When even the dog of the states sais this, imagine how bad it is.
As much as I dislike Merz, he has a point.
More of this please
Easily.
