It's the classic Germany-France joke, but modified:

A German was on a trip to Poland.

He reached passport control and the officer asked:

"Name?"

"Hans Kleiner"

"Age?"

"31"

"Occupation?"

"No no, just visiting"

A young man was carrying a long stick around Warsaw and someone asked him: “Are you a pole vaulter?”

The man replied: “No I’m German but how do you know my name is Walter?”

That took me way longer to get than it should have.

Then I laughed a couple times. Thanks for chuckle homie.

Donald Tusk sounds like a conglomeration of Donald Trump and Elon Musk

Considering we had both politicians on the news at roughly the same time it got confusing lol

Man why can't the rest of the world get on this level. The fact that he appeared on TV without a tie would get him mocked in the US because ties make you important or something?

Justice for Brobama's tan suit 😔🤟

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Funniest thing about that "controversy" is that Obama was wearing a suit almost identical to one worn by President Reagan. So unpresidential!

[–] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 32 points 1 day ago

But he did it while black. Important detail for conservatives.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Seems like Obamas suit had less wrinkles too

If you see Russians coming from the other side, panic.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 1 points 18 hours ago

Attacking a Nato ally? I'd panic at least a little. You would assume that increases the risk of a nuclear conflict by like a lot.

I do laugh that it’s been long enough and relations are good enough they can joke about that.

[–] HairyHarry@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think it was a joke

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Germans think it's funny.

Meanwhile, Polish politicians will demand WW2 reparations from Germany every time an election's coming up.

So is he a cool dude or another light fascist?

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He’s not perfect, but especially considering the alternatives, he’s damn good.

The previous government was slowly undermining the democracy (e.g. they literally removed Supreme Court judges and illegally put their own ones there that voted always in their favor, they rebuild the public tv to propaganda for their party and they fired a lot of judges that didn’t behave as they wanted).

Then, around a year ago, there were new elections and despite the insane propaganda, due to a massive campaign, that former government lost majority and he got power again. They’re transformed the public TV back and work on reversing much of the harm done. If they also get the presidency in another year, the former party can’t veto much stuff so then they can do even better.

But it’s still awesome that this happened as it’s one rare example of a democracy that was sliding into an authoritarian regime getting back and undoing the harm.

He’s not perfect as is party is fiscally conservative and rather neoliberal, but they are in a coalition with left parties so he’s not like Macron, and that definitely balances it (because they have other priorities). And considering the major other alternative, it’s really amazing that he got elected. :D

[–] pfm@scribe.disroot.org 2 points 20 hours ago

Nah, he's not that great... We already see him giving a silent nod to investors while ignoring how bad housing situation is in the country. Also, coalition with the left is mostly on paper - he claimed he'd clean up the mess with Catholic church reducing its funding. Now the church is getting comparable money from the new government. I don't trust them.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 7 points 1 day ago

When he'll be done with his second mandate can you lend him to us ?

🇭🇺❤️🇵🇱

[–] lemmur@szmer.info 41 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Well, It's complicated. He's from old-school neoliberal party and is by a lot od people viewed as a absolutne liar. We elected him, because other dominating party was sliding straight into authoritarian régime, so he was a lesser evil.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He's definitely the better Donald T.

[–] lemmur@szmer.info 19 points 1 day ago

Fun fact: He literally is Donald T ;)
