We should have kept Habeck instead. He was one the right track.

I mean he knows that Trump and Putin are not friends. That means he is already better than Merkel.
Let's see how long this holds.

Yeah so ... It looks a lot like outspoken Trump apologist Jens Spahn may be getting a cabinet position.

Oder direkt Gysi.

Most STDs are better than Trump.

I don't understand this view of Merz. He seems like decent leader material for Germany, replacing Scholz at the right time.
I am not a conservative, yet I think Merz's rhetoric so far is spot on when it comes to the current problems with our crumbling transatlantic alliance. His stance on the toxic US government is a welcome relief at a time when compassion, respect and critical thinking seem to be in short supply.

Well, he actually is new to being part of a government...

He is trump lite. He is not at all „decent leader material“ by any stretch. His views align far too often with the far (not to say extreme) right wing party AFD.

Are you sure? Doesn't sound like that to me: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PRsF-yy6RGc (only German subtitles)

Can you please share some concrete examples to back that up?

Let's see. The Social Democratic Party (SPD) has the power to determine the coalition negotiations, as there is only one option for forming a government. We will see how much the CDU/CSU will have to bend over backwards to govern.

There are at least two options to build a majority (in fact, Spahn is the kind of person to publicly suggest the other, the taboo option). In any case, CxU will almost definitely privately use the threat of building a coalition with Afd to shape the coalition agreement with SPD.

Ok so hear me out: fuck the New York Times. I don't even bother to read the article and I happen to think the CDU is a bunch of yahoos. But an ...American newspaper, telling a European democracy what it does or what it doesn't need? Get the fuck out of here.
Sure, the essayist is probably German and probably makes some good points. But, honestly fuck MAGA USA and their newspapers.

Back when Germany finally criminalised marital rape, he was one of very few voting against it. He is more conservative than most of his party.
More recently, he invited wanted for war crimes Netanyahu to Germany and thus break Germany from the ICC. His views on how to handle immigration also align with AFD.
He's a pos.
