I fully support Scholz on enforcing the law. For example CumEx is a wondefull case, where all the bankers and their helpers should be locked up for defrauding German taxpayers.

However that might be a bad move for him.

Olaf Scholz is a criminal who tried to help fraudulent bankers to get away with a 150.000.000 Euro scam. When questioned he claimed he conveniently could not remember. It is Scholz who should be deported - to prison!

Don't forget he instituted torture methods as minister of the interior for Hamburg. Shortly before an election, trying to win by occupoying ~~there~~ their points. That failed of course.
Similarities to the current tactics by him are of course purely coincidental.

True, Brechmitteleinsatz shall never been forgotten. They even tortured a person to death with it. He was called Achidi John.

He violently resisted the insertion of a feeding tube to introduce the emetic ipecacuanha, whereupon he was restrained. John was then "force-fed the drug through a tube in his nose."[4][5] "An emergency anesthesiologist was not called to assist."[3] He then "fell to the floor,"[3] "facial color had changed, breathing and pulse had stopped."[3] The physician initially assumed he was faking. When a medical student noticed the missing pulse, emergency responders were called. After thirteen minutes, two emergency medical teams arrived and resuscitated John.[6][7] John died after a three-day coma on December 12, 2001

This is just Scholz pandering to the right because he has absolutely no policies of his own and wants to get re-elected.

Fuck you Scholz. It sucks but is expected of SPD. What sucks even more is even the greens push this inhuman agenda here now.

Never forget that Brechmittel Scholz had police torture people with emetics when he was a major.

Someone needs to create a Gustav Noske Medal for Social Democrat Realpolitik and award it to Scholz. He deserves such an award.

Edit: Look up Gustav Noske to spot the sarcasm here

Careful with that quote, or the enlightened centrists will come crawling out of their holes and claim it's far right dog whistle...

As right wing as Marc Uwe Kling is… (he wrote some very successful books about a communist Kangaroo)

Of course, the centrist crying are still there. There were even some SPD people crying that it was a Nazi line.

We should deport half of the SPD.

Interesting. The balance of opinion in this thread is mostly one-sided but in the opposite direction to the R-site.
