It's the classic Germany-France joke, but modified:

A German was on a trip to Poland.

He reached passport control and the officer asked:

"Name?"

"Hans Kleiner"

"Age?"

"31"

"Occupation?"

"No no, just visiting"

A young man was carrying a long stick around Warsaw and someone asked him: “Are you a pole vaulter?”

The man replied: “No I’m German but how do you know my name is Walter?”

That took me way longer to get than it should have.

Then I laughed a couple times. Thanks for chuckle homie.

If you see Russians coming from the other side, panic.

Man why can't the rest of the world get on this level. The fact that he appeared on TV without a tie would get him mocked in the US because ties make you important or something?

Justice for Brobama's tan suit 😔🤟

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Funniest thing about that "controversy" is that Obama was wearing a suit almost identical to one worn by President Reagan. So unpresidential!

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago

But he did it while black. Important detail for conservatives.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Seems like Obamas suit had less wrinkles too

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

To be fair, it seems like the state of Reagans pants is due to a combination of high winds and thin fabric.

To be equally fair, though, Reagan was still one of history's greatest monsters and if hell existed he'd be a high ranking official there now.

I do laugh that it’s been long enough and relations are good enough they can joke about that.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't think it was a joke

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Germans think it's funny.

Das genügt.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I haven't heard the speech (tone, etc), but it does read like a joke.

Meanwhile, Polish politicians will demand WW2 reparations from Germany every time an election's coming up.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Only the authoritarian politicians that undermined democracy and luckily lost majority (PIS).

So is he a cool dude or another light fascist?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Well, It's complicated. He's from old-school neoliberal party and is by a lot od people viewed as a absolutne liar. We elected him, because other dominating party was sliding straight into authoritarian régime, so he was a lesser evil.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He's definitely the better Donald T.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

Fun fact: He literally is Donald T ;)

He’s not perfect, but especially considering the alternatives, he’s damn good.

The previous government was slowly undermining the democracy (e.g. they literally removed Supreme Court judges and illegally put their own ones there that voted always in their favor, they rebuild the public tv to propaganda for their party and they fired a lot of judges that didn’t behave as they wanted).

Then, around a year ago, there were new elections and despite the insane propaganda, due to a massive campaign, that former government lost majority and he got power again. They’re transformed the public TV back and work on reversing much of the harm done. If they also get the presidency in another year, the former party can’t veto much stuff so then they can do even better.

But it’s still awesome that this happened as it’s one rare example of a democracy that was sliding into an authoritarian regime getting back and undoing the harm.

He’s not perfect as is party is fiscally conservative and rather neoliberal, but they are in a coalition with left parties so he’s not like Macron, and that definitely balances it (because they have other priorities). And considering the major other alternative, it’s really amazing that he got elected. :D

When he'll be done with his second mandate can you lend him to us ?
