Als Chef der größeren Regierungsfraktion (arguably der einflussreichste Job nach dem Bundeskanzler) ist er halt schon “an der Macht”. Früher hatte auch die Union mal helleres Personal…

No he cannot, coz his country and his people and the freedom of the rest of Europe would cease to exist if he did. Trump is almost right, he’d just need swap two words (“Ukraine” and “Russia”) and replace two more (“Zelenskyy”… and “President”)

funktioniert sicher, ähnlich wie „Kanzlerberater“

Es wäre gut, wenn auch aktive Politiker*innen X verließen; Verfassungsorgane, staatliche Organisationen & Behörden erst recht.

While this is some positive news amidst tragic developments, let’s not forget that European pro-Trumpism was down after Jan 6, and still managed an astonishing comeback. Keeping it down this time requires seizing the moment with full force. Trumpism = Putinism must be taken as given, and upheld.

Brexit kept the UK gov psychoanalysing itself for 4+ years & unable to lead in Europe esp. re the already ongoing assault on Ukraine; meanwhile focusing 90% of EU govs’ attention on the Brexit issue while Putin running rampant. Zero focus on strategic autonomy. Causa principalis of the current mess.

shouldn‘t the sun rotate around the statue in Trump universe?

he also casually reminded Trump that Biden won the 2020 election — and Trump LOST — which must have been the icing on the cake for this lot

Wear what Zelenskyy wore to the White House. Trump would be apoplectic.

… und bitte auch nicht mehr “mein Punkt ist…/ er, sie hat einen Punkt”, “ich bin bei Ihnen, ihm/ihr, Dir…”. Die deutsche Sprache hat(te) mal ihre eigenen Idiome…

we were watching a hitman citing the bible before finishing off his victim. Some crude, tech-fascist gen-AI version of Pulp Fiction from hell.
