German Army Now In Hot Water For Defending Itself
After Germany’s consulate in northern Afghanistan was attacked by a suicide car bomber, killing six and injuring more than 120 others, Bundeswehr soldiers there clearly overreacted by killing two men on a motorcycle who refused to stop when ordered to do so.
Or at least that’s what we will most likely be hearing in the German Reichstag in the coming days, weeks and months to follow.
The Bundeswehr killing people? What will they be expected to do next? Go to war?
Nach dem Anschlag auf das deutsche Generalkonsulat in Masar-i-Scharif hat die Bundeswehr in der nordafghanischen Stadt zwei Motorradfahrer erschossen. Die beiden Männer sollen sich über die Aufforderung, sofort anzuhalten, hinweggesetzt haben.
Expat Democrats Utterly Speechless But Vow To Remain Smug
The crowd of expats who packed the Democrats Abroad election night party in Berlin to watch live election coverage by American broadcaster CNN was conspicuously young and conspicuously female. There had been much talk about apathy among so-called millennials in this campaign, but you wouldn’t have known that in the German capital…
Of course that was then and this is now.
“I’m in too much of an emotional state,” said expat Democrat X, when asked what she thought about the new President-elect. “No comment. But wait. I will say that you can bet we will bounce back from this and be just as self-righteous, priggish and self-satisfied as we ever have been. Mabe even more so. But just not right now, OK?”
Germany Jubilant, Too
German of the day: Ruhig Blut. That means keep your blood calm. You know, as in steady, there, keep your shirt on?
Überraschend und entgegen der meisten Umfragen heißt der kommende Präsident der USA Donald Trump.
Germany Has Spoken
Trump is the devil incarnate and will usher in the end of the world as they know if elected (most Germans don’t believe in God or the devil but are willing to make an exception this time). Clinton, on the other hand, is more up their alley because she has the more politically correct kind of sex organ and is married to a former president of the United States thus making her much more qualified (female sex organs matter). She is also a Democrat and that rhymes with Social Democrat. And just like back home, nobody over here knows who Gary Johnson is, either.
So there we have it. But let’s move on tomorrow, people. One step after the other. No matter what.
Nobody Has The Intention Of Building A Wall
Like, duh. That’s because it’s already been built.
A 12-foot high barrier – higher than the Berlin Wall – is being erected in the German city of Munich to protect locals from young refugees who are set to move into the area.
Sie hatten wirklich keine Vorahnung?
German Engineering At Its Finest
Fortschritt durch Technik. That’s Audi’s motto and means progress through technology.
And their latest advance in defeat device technology is a great step forward in consumer deception indeed.
Audi’s defeat device, camouflaged as a warm-up function, keys in on movements of the steering wheel to detect if the car is in the lab or not. Once in normal traffic, however, this warm-up function is deactivated and the vehicle switches to a higher fuel consumption mode, thus producing more CO2. Brilliant, don’t you think?
Come on, America. Why can’t you produce technology like this? These new fangled electric cars everybody is talking about these days don’t have any of this cool stuff.
So schummelte Audi bei CO² – Mit einer Software sollen Messergebnisse manipuliert worden sein.

Kraut EU Commissioner Sorry He Called Chinese Slitty-Eyed
He actually meant to call them Chop Sticks. Or maybe Chinks. Or at the very least Ping Pongs.
What a Herm. This Boxhead Hun needs to get with the times already and call up the Racial Slur Database on that Heinee Handy (smartphone) of his. He is responsible for EU digital policy, after all.
“Frei von der Leber, as we say in German.”
I Can See For Miles
Or at least for a kilometer or two.
Germany likes to see itself as a pioneer when dealing with environmental issues, but when it comes to implementing European standards, Berlin is hardly a poster child.
The European Union has opened 16 infringement procedures in total against Germany, for failing to implement environmental legislation on time or even at all.
And then there is: Shock…Germany To Come To Marrakesh Conference Empty-Handed! Withdraws Climate Protection Plan! Thanks for the tweet, Joe.
