Wenn mal wieder einer fragt, warum die buli so spannend ist. Bayern mal eben bis jetzt 100 mio für 2 Spiele ausgegeben. Mehr als der bvb (31), Leipzig (20,5) und der VfB (16,2) zusammen. Nur Bayer ist mit rund 50 mio bei der Hälfte.

How embarrassing can you be? Friedrich Merz: Hold my beer. As governor newsom once said: it’s pathetic and embarrassing. I’m ashamed that this guy is the head of state of Germany.

Schlecht gealtert

Retweeted Rapid Response 47: "Americans, I think, are sick of continuing to send their money, their tax dollars," says @VP on weapons for Ukraine. "If the Europeans want to step up and actually buy the weapons from American producers, we're OK with that — but we're not going (cont in reply...)

LOL how old does that make Putin? Someone hand him a calculator. Must take a very special person to vote for someone like that.

🤯🤡Trump: "I talked to Putin. He lost 51 million people (in WWII) and he did fight… He fought with us in World War II and everybody hates him.”
