No socialist like a German socialist. Vermin.
Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz

This is EXACTLY what Net-Neutrality would have brought here in the U.S. of A.
Fuhrer Merkel is proceeding according to globalist plans.
There goes the Washington Post and New York Times.
I really think a genuine Islamic Republic would require such a language change as I see it. Thank You. Sarc.
