Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico’s left-wing president, has also made headlines for her tongue-in-cheek response to Trump, particularly his proposal to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America.” She countered by proposing that the continent of North America change its name to “América Mexicana,” citing a colonial-era Spanish map as evidence.
Do it! It would not harm anyone, but Trump would throw a tantrum and that would be funny as fuck 😄
This is the single-most annoying thing with Proton for me. Give us a Linux client for drive already… 😭
Now imagine naming a social media platform after a letter of the alphabet 🙃
Bundesrat und Bundesregierung können das Verfahren auch anstoßen, nicht nur der Bundestag
Ich schaue mir immer das hier an. Ist wohl eine Kombination von Sonntagsfragen unterschiedlicher institute und scheint mir daher verlässlicher als einzelne Umfragen: https://www.politico.eu/europe-poll-of-polls/germany/
Aber ja, am Ende zählt nur das Endergebnis und man sollte sich nicht zu sehr auf Umfragen verlassen.
Wenn die CDU wenigstens richtig abstürzen würde dadurch, aber irgendwie verliert die CDU nur einen halben Prozentpunkt für jeden ganzen den die AFD gewinnt😐
For one: Them getting more than 20% is scary and shows we have a big problem in our country. Also them being the second-largest party in Germany is insane to me. But by itself that is not enough to get into the government, it still needs some other party to work with them.
Unfortunately the rhetoric of the CDU, which is the “just conservative” party is in my eyes pretty similar to the Afd at the moment and they are currently polling at around 30%. CDU decided on a ban working together with the Afd at all some years ago, but it never seemed more likely they would just drop that and then a potential coalition of CDU + Afd would have around 50% of the vote. Certainly enough to form a government. I’m still somewhat positive they would not actually decide to do that, but you know, by now I also would not be surprised anymore😔
As a last resort I’m banking on our “supreme court” (Bundesverfassungsgericht ) to strike down the worst things, since it still seems to be intact, unlike in the US. But courts are slow and you can do a lot of damage even with stuff that is not clearly unconstitutional…
I agree. Not thought about it a lot, but there should be some way to use your ID for stuff like that without telling every service out there your full personal details.
Agreed, but none of the goodies they had last time around. Take it all or leave it 🤷
I hate so much that this is true…
There will plenty of options for him to get his puppets in power in Europe too. But until then we really should tell him “stfu” as often as possible and as loudly as possible. And then we hope he has a fallout with Trump rather sooner than later, so he has to focus more on staying president in the US and has less time trying to meddle in our affairs here…
Leider nicht. Ich warte noch auf die Kampagne nochmal einen Haufen naiver Erstwähler abzugreifen, die dann auch noch funktioniert… Naja, wenn sie dann wirklich raus sind, wird umso mehr gefeiert 😅
The Chancellor (now Scholz and before that Merkel) are the heads of government and are, in practice, more influential. Technically the president (“Bundespräsident”), which is the head of state, stands above the Chancellor and so does the president of parliament (“Bundestagspräsident”). But this is mostly a ceremonial hierarchy and while the president has to “check” laws and sign them to take effect, this is basically always happening. In general the president is mostly a ceremonial position.
You hear a lot more about the chancellor, because as head of government, they are the only ones actually involved in creating/changing laws (of the positions mentioned).
Edit: If my research is correct, it only happened 8 times since 1949 that a president did not sign a law that was accepted by parliament and the last time was 2006. So it really is a pretty rare occurrence.
Yeah, you have to be really interested in German politics too ever hear anything about or from him, even living in Germany😅 Not exactly tyrant type stuff

I don’t want to get promoted… Once my job isn’t mainly about programming anymore (in a pretty wide sense though), I took a wrong turn in life 😅
Joa, das ist schon ein bisschen peinlich. Cookies selbst sind komplett unaufdringlich.
Yeah, just pay attention to what he does. What he says is close to useless.
Yes, I tried to set it up before, but wasn’t successful either. So I decided it’s not worth putting hours of work into it, to make it work in some hacky way that will break down anyway any chance it gets.
