Sorry. But somebody had to say it.

And monkeys to fly out of Europe’s butt.
Trump will ‘buckle under pressure’ if Europe bands together over tariffs, German economy minister says – U.S. President Donald Trump will “buckle under pressure” and alter his tariff policies if Europe bands together, acting German economy minister Robert Habeck said Thursday.
“That is what I see, that Donald Trump will buckle under pressure, that he corrects his announcements under pressure, but the logical consequence is that he then also needs to feel the pressure,” he said during a press conference.
That means megalomania or having delusions of grandeur.
Also see Lachnummer. That means being a joke or a laughing stock.
Annalena Baerbock: Russia wanted to prevent me from becoming chancellor – German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock wants to thwart the US Gaza plans. Talks with partners are underway, she said on “Maischberger” – and emphasized her claim to power within the Greens.
You guys have no sense of humor.”
That means rich.
And Donald Trump apparently wants to “unify the rich” to help move our country down the right path. I mean up the right path, of course (Biden & Co. are responsible for the down part). And if anybody knows about rich, its Donald Trump.
Trump’s social media account shares a campaign video with a headline about a ‘unified Reich’ – A video posted to Donald Trump’s account on his social media network included references to a “unified Reich” among hypothetical news headlines if he wins the election in November.
Boy oh boy. that was one close call for German democracy itself.
Or something. Yawn. This “coup” is so embarrassing it’s cute. A cute coup. It’s kind of like US-Amerika‘s January 6, only dopier. If you can imagine that.
Germany coup plot trial begins amid high security – Self-styled Prince Heinrich XIII among alleged ringleaders of plan for violent overthrow of state…
A total of 26 people are on trial – a 27th, a man in his 70s, died recently in hospital in Frankfurt – and the three cases are expected to go on for a year or more. Gundula Fehns-Böer, a spokesperson for Frankfurt’s regional court, said: “It’s a challenge for us all, but we’ll sit here for as long as we have to sit.”
The alleged plotters were arrested in December 2022, when heavily armed forces stormed houses, flats, offices and a remote hunting lodge. Investigators had surveilled the group in the previous few months. Among the arrests made were a leading member of the QAnon conspiracy theory organisation, a clairvoyant, a dentist and an amateur pilot.
That means insurrection.
The Germans just had to have one of their own, of course. And I wouldn’t have thought it possible, but their insurrection was even more ridiculous than ours was. 27 old farts were going to “overthrow the German government.” Silly old farts too, They didn’t even know that Germany doesn’t have a government. Or that when it does it just overthrows itself.
Germany charges 27 suspects over Reichsbürger coup plot – German prosecutors have charged 27 suspects after carrying out raids against the far-right Reichsbürger movement last year.

That’s no Wolfsmensch (wolfman). That’s the German Green’s Minister for Sustainable Agriculture (see him collecting those nuts and berries there?).
But why isn’t he in Berlin? Doing his freakin’ job there? What the hell is he doing in the Harz Mountains? Another government boondoggle, no doubt.
Mysterious naked ‘wolfman’ spotted in Germany’s Harz mountains – A terrifying image of a strange naked “wolf man,” who authorities think has lived in the woods for at least five years, was taken on Tuesday by hikers in Germany’s Harz Mountains.
It’s one of the heaviest metals there are. Even though it’s mud.
Wow. I heard a lot of these fans were wondering why their coffee tasted so muddy. Turns out it was freshly ground… A lot of them used to be addicted to mud wrestling, I’m told. But they’ve been clean now for years… Also heard about this big male cow that got stuck in mud near the stage. Terra-bull… I’ll be here all week, folks.
Germany’s Wacken metal festival halts admissions after persistent rain turns site to mud – The Wacken Open Air heavy metal festival in northern Germany is opening on Wednesday with a reduced audience after persistent rain turned the grounds to mud and forced organizers to order a halt to all new arrivals.
Organizers of the famed music festival in the village of Wacken, in a rural area northwest of Hamburg, had already told fans on Tuesday that no more cars and trucks could be admitted to the site because camping areas, the grounds and access roads were in poor condition because of heavy rain in recent days, and more was expected.
That means hug.
Frankfurt: A driver joined the convoy of Chancellor Olaf Scholz in his private car without authorization and hugged him after getting out without bodyguards intervening in time.
This incident raises significant questions.
Question number one: Why would you want to hug that guy? Question number two: Nope. That’s it, actually. I don’t have any other questions.
