What will make-or-break Friedrich Merz’ coalition options? The number of parties in the next Bundestag!

Which of the three small parties in the opinion polls
– Left Party 6-7%
– BSW 4-4.5%
– FDP 4%
will pass the 5% threshold?

A few scenarios to illustrate how the 630 seats could be distributed 👇

"Trump's first visit to Soviet Moscow in 1987 looks, with hindsight, to be part of a pattern. [...] Christopher Steele asserts that the Kremlin had been cultivating Trump for 'at least five years' before his stunning victory in the 2016 US presidential election."

The Hidden History of Trump’s First Trip to Moscow
In 1987, a young real estate developer traveled to the Soviet Union. The KGB almost certainly made the trip happen.

Years ago someone (who may have been called Pierre) hacked my Spotify, but I could still control it remotely. My friends and I kept switching the music (whilst Spotify support tried to fix the issue). We ended up making a playlist of everything we made him listen to: open.spotify.com/playlist/0wC...

…although he might just have the right combination of authoritarianism, gratuitous cruelty and a warrant by a non-rogue institution to prompt the US to pressure for his release and offering him a flatshare with the Tates.

Yes, a few classics for sure😊 we’ve also been lucky with very few losses…probably helped by the fact that these are mom and dad‘s coffee mugs and off limits to other family members😇

Um das noch mal festzuhalten, die Deutschen haben nicht die Grünen gewählt, die A, B, C machen wollten, und die Superreichen sollten ihren Teil daüfr bezahlen.

Sondern Merz, der jetzt das gleiche A, B, C macht, nur dass DU dafür bezahlst und die Superreichen noch superreicher werden.

Everything about this is perfect: the hack, the hacker‘s name, the remote control, the playlist name and the choice of music. A true masterpiece🤣

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I’m thinking that the “Gulf of America” goes the other direction too. Doesn’t Trump Tower need a new name🤔?

I have and I live in a democracy. However, I travel to the US regularly and I am constantly reminded that by applying for an ESTA I sign a waiver that any immigration officer can reject my entry without explanation and without right to appeal. I am also asked to give my social media accounts. WWYD?

Das Schlimme ist, dass die Mehrheit der Wahlbevölkerung *genau das* wollte. Sein Wahlkampf war extrem ehrlich in dem, was er tun wird. Abstoßend, polarisierend, unmenschlich, klar - aber er hat nie behauptet er wäre anders.
