Brickbat: Not Hiring

Officials in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate announced they will ban members of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) political party from holding public office. The order would bar any applicants who are members of extremist groups or have been members within the past five years. Germany's domestic intelligence agency has classified AfD as a right-wing extremist group. Currently, AfD is Germany's second-largest political party, receiving about 21 percent of the vote in the February 2025 elections.

I hate reruns.

This is a remake for modern audiences.

I was more averse to uppity Dee.

The Progressive Deep State will not go down without a fight. Imagine a party that want's to protect it's country from being invaded by third world dirt bags trying to destroy it.

[Will Nonya]

Especially when plenty of first world dirt bags want to beat them to it...

The Krauts just won't tolerate fascism.

Feels a little like a psy-op to fold genocide-deniers in with holocaust-deniers.

Not unlike when jeffmikesarc’s beloved Democratic Party went on a full court press trying to ban Trump from being on ballots.

[MollyGodiva]

Very similar. Except Rhineland-Palatinate is smart enough to go through with banning them.

[Chumby]

Glad you can now admit that Team Blue engaged in election tampering.

[MollyGodiva]

My point is the Democrats did not get Trump banned from office. They did not even try much.

[Stupid Government Tricks]

Really? Two impeachments, lawfare galore, that's not trying, much?

[Chumby]

Would you be ok with going through what Team D put Trump through and brush it off as the antagonists not even trying much?

[Sometimes a Great Notion]

We have to abandon representative government to save democracy from collapse! What do you people not understand!?

[MollyGodiva]

We don't understand why people would willingly (eagerly even) vote for candidates that will wreck government, the country, and install a dictatorship.

[Chumby]

There was evidence that those mystery 13M votes weren’t real.

Brazil's souprema corte puts it in exacty those terms. The constitution (a thick book) was rewritten by interested looter politicians as soon as Atlas Shrugged appeared in Portuguese.

[Longtobefree]

Democrats charter two jumbo jets for fact finding missions.

[MollyGodiva]

Good for them. They know very well the consequences of having extremists run their country.

[Stupid Government Tricks]

From experience of their own. They came so close to success! and then that damn fool Biden had to wake up from a nap early because some intern didn't give him an ice cream cone.

[Chumby]

Maintaining that as the status quo has long-term negative consequences.

[AT]

The order would bar any applicants who are members of extremist groups

Finally cracking down on their imported muslim population huh?

Good, about time.

Protecting democracy!

[Incunabulum]

What part of 'managed democracy's do you people not understand?

The EU states are not democratic. Never really have been.

THIS IS THE NIXON ANTI-LIBERTARIAN CAMPAIGN FUNDING LAW IN ACTION. Looter socialists of the altruist left&right monofilament are the same thing. Hence they HAVE to ban each other to avoid "confusing" mindless looter voters who either have a crush on or abhor Jesus. Repealing campaign subsidy laws enables real libertarians to repeal other bad laws. https://libertariantranslator.wordpress.com/2015/09/05/nixons-anti-libertarian-law/
