Edit: Düsseldorf, apparently. But Kölsch is still better than Alt

Oh Germany, you really get us. Can we let Germans vote in the next US election? After all, we're already letting Russia take a hand.

Actually, we have about as many Nazi fuckwits by percentage as the US. The difference is that we don't let them leverage 30% into an electoral majority.

And again I call for Germans to vote in our general election. :)

Germany is more familiar than most about what the GOP has become.

Ye, you could say we have insider information

Of course, It Can't Happen Here.

Bold of German to assume that this guy could use a pair of scissors

[–] [email protected] 37 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Wish he would run with scissors :)

Well stumbling and falling face down on the scissors is fine with me

They say being struck by lightning is an act of god.

Do you think the secret service would notice, if I set up giant Tesla coils near his rally podium?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

If you paint his face on it or even a mirror in front he would probably even touch it

A "great Weird Al album" is a bit redundant, isn't it?

Instead of tearing this down after yesterdays' carnival, maybe they should send it on a tour through the US.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 7 months ago

Everyone already knows. His supporters like it.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago

That would get him just more votes.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Actually that's from the parade in Düsseldorf

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

Oops. Posted a correction.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Me, a fucking dumbass apparently:

  • Okay so he cut out the Austrian flag. Why?
  • White-red-white is an old Belarusian one. Still not getting this
  • Who has a flag that's all blue with white stars?
  • Oh holy shit it's a swastika
[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Ha ha ha that was a long way to get there

I saw it in an other post where the perspective made it less obvious and I thought it was about how Trump is tearing the states apart, I guess it's both.

The artist failed to capture his fatness/femininity

Hands are too big and he’s back on safety scissors after a court order.

I dunno. Float rental fees might be helpful.

We could maybe set up a thing with UK's Diaper Trump, too.

I thought it was illegal to display anything Nazi related in public?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Only if the display is meant to glorify or show support for Nazis, which can but doesn't have to be displaying a swastika.

This is clearly criticism and satire, so it's covered under artistic freedom.

Interesting, danke! 🙂
