That means total catastrophe. No, not like Donald Trump’s appearance in Ohio yesterday.
Like “Joe Biden’s government.”
Donald Trump teilt wieder aus: Bidens Regierung eine „totale Katastrophe.”
German Of The Day: „Totale Katastrophe”

Now That Orange Man Is Gone Alles Is Well
Right? Well, not really.
And it’s because of you, Germany. Not the Orange Man.
The German trade surpluses remain. And remain they will.
The promised German defense spending levels for NATO have still not been met – nor do the Germans have any intention of ever meeting them.
The Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, Germany’s going it alone with Russia (going it alone – Alleingänge – is something Germans regularly swear up and down they will never ever do again), will still not be accepted by the United States – or from most of Europe, for that matter.
Dollar signs in German eyes make it overly eager to allow Iran to do anything it wants to continue it’s nuclear program (a country openly calling for the destruction of Israel).
Germany forced the European Union to complete an investment deal with China – Germany’s largest trading partner – without even bothering to consult the incoming American administration. Nor does it share everyone else’s concern about allowing Huawei to provide the German 5G network.
To name just a few.
How did someone once put it?
“The Germans are very, very bad.”
Well, He Was Drunk After All
So, Biden gets sworn in as President while a drunk throws snowballs at the US consulat in Berlin shouting profanities against Trump.
There is a certain logic to it somewhere. I just haven’t found it yet.
Gleich mehrmals hat ein Betrunkener für Unruhe vor der US-Auslandsvertretung in Berlin-Dahlem gesorgt: Hatte er am Nachmittag noch mit Schneebällen geworfen, flogen in der Nacht Getränkedosen in Richtung der Objektschützer.
“Fuck Trump! Biden will come!”
German Of The Day: Problematisch
That means problematic.
Germany’s Merkel: Trump’s Twitter eviction ‘problematic’ – Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesman says the German leader considers the U_S_ President Donald Trump’s eviction from Twitter by the company “problematic.”
“This fundamental right can be intervened in, but according to the law and within the framework defined by legislators — not according to a decision by the management of social media platforms. Seen from this angle, the chancellor considers it problematic that the accounts of the U.S. president have now been permanently blocked.”
Germans Fear Trump Supporters Might Storm The Reichstag
I mean, the Bundestag. Some kind of tag. And maybe burn it down or something too. Been there done that, you know?
That’s why they are increasing police protection there. Looks like up to a dozen more cops or so. Wow. You can never be too careful when it comes to Trump supporters, after all. Here in Germany.
By the way, Trump supporters already stormed the place back in August only they weren’t Trump supporters so there was no moral outrage or hand-wringing concern at that time. Sensibilities can change though, I guess.
Berliner Polizei verstärkt Schutz des Bundestags.
German Of The Day: Einspruch
That means objection. Or raise an objection. Or lodge an appeal.
A group of GOP senators led by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, say they’ll object Wednesday to the certification of the presidential election results that favored Democrat Joe Biden over President Trump — unless there is an emergency 10-day audit of the results by an electoral commission.
Weitere Republikaner aus dem US-Senat wollen bei der anstehenden Zertifizierung der Präsidentschaftswahlergebnisse im Kongress Einspruch einlegen.
German Of The Day: Groß
We spell it gross. That means big. Not gross. You know, our gross, as in “a gross exaggeration?”
That’s what’s calling Friedrich Merz “Germany’s Donald Trump” certainly is. A “hardline conservative” in Germany is a liberal light in US-Amerika.
But having said that, when I read from our friends over at Politico about “A combative old white man who speaks of gays and pedophiles in the same breath, dismisses gender debates as a waste of time and who can’t stand Angela Merkel could hardly be more out of step with the zeitgeist,” I ask myself, what’s not to like about this guy?
German Of The Day: Wunder
That means miracle. As in miraculous.
You know, like Joe Biden receiving 138,339 votes in an overnight vote-dump in Michigan and Donald Trump not getting one? As in zero?
Then another mysterious all-Biden vote-dump happened in Wisconsin. Biden miraculously overcame a 4.1-point Trump lead in the middle of the night thanks to vote dumps in which he got—you guessed it—100 percent of the votes and Trump got zero.
Now another miracle is taking place in Pennsylvania. In 2020 the Wunder never cease, I guess.
Never Forget: Europeans Would Overwhelmingly Vote for Joe Biden
And we want to be just like them.
A majority of 11,000 residents across five countries in Europe—Germany, Italy, Spain, France and Great Britain—say they are watching the U.S. presidential election closely, and are very much in favor of Biden taking the White House Tuesday. The BVA pollster group found Germans are watching the U.S. contest most carefully, with 85 percent saying they are very interested in the the November 3 outcome compared to about 70 percent in the other four nations.
Only 8 percent of Germans said they would vote for Trump if it was them casting ballots across America in four days.
“They should have shown more humility”
DER SPIEGEL: Humility?
Sandel: Yes. Think of Hillary Clinton’s use of the word “deplorables.” She used it in the last election campaign in reference to Trump voters, blue-collar workers. It showed an arrogance toward the less educated. Obama spoke of people who “cling to guns or religion…”
Sandel: It is true that the Democrats have repeatedly made this promise with good intentions: to show people a way out of the inequality that has worsened as a result of globalization. They emphasize university education as the avenue for upward mobility. But this leaves out over half of the population.
“The Democratic Party opened the way for Trump.”
