That means to tear up.
That’s Nancy Pelosi. She’s a crazy lady. And they’ll soon be coming to take her away.
They’re coming to take me away
Ha ha, they’re coming to take me away
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats…
Nancy Pelosi reißt nach Donalds Trumps Rede zur Lage der Nation dessen Manuskript in Stücke.
At least on German television it is.
The Iowa Democratic vote-reporting meltdown was so catastrophic that it physically moved the state to where Colorado used to be. The whereabouts of Colorado are unknown at this time.
App Used to Tabulate Votes Is Said to Have Been Inadequately Tested
That means boat migrants.
You know, like “most boat migrants are not refugees?”
The number of refugees coming to Europe keeps climbing from month to month but the fewest of them are refugees and the fewest of them will be given permission to stay. The punch line: They’ll stay anyway.
Die meisten Bootsmigranten sind keine Flüchtlinge.
That the film guru in charge of the Berlin Film Festival’s propaganda efforts from 1951 until 1976 was also closely involved with the Nazis’ film propaganda efforts, I mean.
Ex-Nazis in Germany? In the 1950s? How could that be possible?
Will the horrors never cease? First all the crappy movies. Now we find out that the whole shebang is Nazi-verseucht (infected). Let’s call the whole thing off.
The Berlin Film Festival turns 70 this year, but plans for the anniversary celebration have been overshadowed by new revelations that Alfred Bauer, Berlin’s first festival director, had deep ties to the Nazis.
German wind energy is in a crisis – “Five times the amount of wind turbines are needed.”
Like these wind turbines up there, Germany’s energy turnaround just isn’t turning around the way the smart people who planned it planned it. To turn around. Unless turning around and around in circles counts.
A mere 1078 megawatts worth of wind turbines were built last year – nearly 80 percent lower than the 2017 level.
Eine Windkraft-Leistung von gerade mal 1078 Megawatt wird im vergangenen Jahr installiert – fast 80 Prozent weniger als noch 2017.
Otherwise the death toll at this shooting would have been a whole lot higher. I assume.
The shooter did have a gun license, after all.
6 dead, 2 injured after family shooting in Germany, police say – Police were called to the scene of the shooting, in a building near the town’s main railway station, shortly after midday Friday. Some victims were shot inside the train station, while others were shot in a nearby house, local police told ABC News.
The alleged gunman, a 26-year-old man who police said had a gun license, was arrested shortly after the shooting.
Oops. Not racial purity, I meant of course Germany’s Reinheitsgebot or beer purity law.
Nazi-branded Beer Sells Out at German Drinks Store – Thuringia police have already established the brand itself is legal.
Images were circulating on German social media on Friday showing a Nazi-branded beer for sale in a drinks store in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt.
The images showed bottles labelled with the name “Deutsches Reichsbraeu,” or German Reich Brew, in a font favored by the Nazis on sale for 18.88 euros.
The numbers 1 and 8 correspond to the second and eighth letters of the alphabet – the initials of Adolf Hitler. The 88 stands for “Heil Hitler.” The new beer brand was announced online at the beginning of the year by a well-known right-wing extremist from the neighbouring state of Thuringia.
Eine Konsequenz gibt es bereits für den Getränkemarkt: Der Franchise-Geber kündigte die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Eigentümer des Geschäfts am Morgen nach eigenen Angaben auf.
Other than Social Democrat Party, I mean. Shekels, Payola and Dough?
Or is it more like Scratch, Plunder and Dinero?
When not fighting for the rights of the working class and alleviating the capitalist economic oppression of the masses, ex-vice chancellor and national chairmen of Germany’s Social Democrat Party Sigmar Gabriel enjoys doing part-time community service work serving on the supervisory board of the freakin’ Deutsche Bank.
It’s understandable. Sort of. He recognized there was a problem with Deutsche Bank years ago (he wasn’t the first, however) and now only wants to take this opportunity to help them clean things up.
“Deutsche Bank, as one of the most important financial institutions in Europe, has the opportunity and the responsibility to help shape the future of the German and European economy. I want to play a part in this.”
That means the perennial prophets of doom.
Here is an example: Trump calls climate activists ‘perennial prophets of doom’ during Davos economic forum.
“This is not a time for pessimism. This is a time for optimism. Fear and doubt is not a good thought process because this is a time for tremendous hope and joy and optimism and action.” I would translate that into German but German just doesn’t have that kind of vocabulary.
„Wir müssen die ewigen Propheten des Untergangs und ihre Vorhersagen der Apokalypse zurückweisen.”
It’s not just in the United States that standards in education must remain, uh, flexible.
Germany has to keep adapting its standards too. Take Germany’s federal cops. Please.
Germany to lower language requirements for federal police recruits – Facing a shortage of recruits, authorities have reportedly had to “adapt” their standards for the current generation.
In a bid to fill thousands of new positions this year, Germany’s federal police (Bundespolizei) has lowered requirements for recruits, according to a media report published Monday.
The newspapers of the Funke Media Group reported on the changes, noting that physical fitness requirements as well as the language level in exams have been changed.
“We must adapt to the societal changes of young people with relation to the mental and physical requirements for the police profession.”
