PLEASE!.... I just ate lunch. Gonna be sick. How do freaks like that get into power in Germany.

So do they have some dyke-fest private circle controlling political power now in Germany?

Dennis Prager has pointed out that Germany just has a knack for messing things up politically. Here they go again.
