German Tanks Finally Doing Something Useful
They have rolled in to occupy the city of Düsseldorf.
I mean they have rolled in to occupy themselves with Umweltschäden (ecological damage) in the city of Düsseldorf.
This damage was caused by a big honking storm that slammed Germany the other day. And this means war or something.
„Hier sieht‘s aus, wie nach dem Krieg.“
Joe Biden Can Say Squirrel
And that’s not that easy, you know. He can say “xenophobic,” too. For no particular reason at all.
Joe Biden says all kinds of stuff, all the time. He can say Obama’s healthcare enactment “is a “big f**king deal,” for instance. He can even say to a wheelchair-bound politician to “stand up for a round of applause.” The problem here, of course, is getting Joe Biden to stop staying stuff.
“Look at Germany. Look at the rest of the world. America is the only non-xenophobic nation in the world that’s a major economy.”
This Is Supposed To Be News?
It’s never been any different.
A poll published by research firm infratest dimap last week indicates German trust in the U.S. has plummeted to lows not seen since the thick of the Iraq war. Another poll, published in May, showed those Germans surveyed were more interested in deepening their country’s ties with China than they were in doing so with the U.S. A third, published in April, showed that nearly half wanted Germany to take a “middle position” in the Ukraine conflict rather than standing firmly on the side of the West.
Let The Flopping Begin
This isn’t a World Cup-class dive or anything, but still.
Look at the faux-panic that comes over his face as he pretends to be unable to breathe because someone made light contact with his shoulder.
The Removal Of This Sign Is Strictly Forbidden
Cool Berliner signs and Zettel. For no particular reason at all.
Maybe The Turks Could Build One Of These New-Fangled Airport Thingies In Berlin, Too
The construction of the world’s largest airport began on June 7 in Istanbul with a massive groundbreaking ceremony. When fully completed in 2018, the 10 billion-euro airport will be able to carry 150 million passengers a year, making it one of the world’s busiest airports.
Meanwhile, back in Germany…
Berlin’s disastrous airport project (groundbreaking so long ago nobody can remember anymore, at one time planned to open in June 2012 Anno Domini) was hit with another scandal after its technical director was suspended pending an investigation into alleged corruption. A “leading employee” responsible for awarding contracts during the on-going construction of the hopelessly-delayed Berlin Brandenburg airport (BER), is suspected of having demanded €500,000 bribes from a prospective contractor.
Berlin’s airport is already too small.

That spies on you and me?
N S A B N D M O U S E!
Germany’s foreign intelligence agency is officially lifting the lid on some of its worst-kept secrets by acknowledging that half a dozen facilities are in fact spy stations.
“Diese Aufgaben gehören zum Kernauftrag des Bundesnachrichtendienstes und beruhen auf gesetzlicher Grundlage. Zu diesen Aufgaben stehen wir, weshalb wir zukünftig auf die Legendierung dieser Außenstellen im Inland verzichten.”
Not Even German Astronauts Can Escape Tatort
A Soyuz spacecraft launched last night (May 28) from Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan docked with the International Space Station in the early hours of this morning. Onboard were ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst and his Expedition 40/41 crewmates, who will now live and work in space for the next six months…
And watch Tatort.
Der deutsche Astronaut Alexander Gerst (38) erlebt derzeit das, wozu viele Menschen wahrscheinlich nie die Möglichkeit haben werden: Als Bordingenieur arbeitet er nun für einige Monate auf der internationalen Raumstation ISS. Damit verbunden ist natürlich ein atemberaubender Bilck auf die Erde. Doch auf eines möchte der Raumfahrer während seiner Mission im All nicht verzichten: die “Tagesthemen” und den Tatort.
