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.
The Krauts just won't tolerate fascism.
Not unlike when jeffmikesarc’s beloved Democratic Party went on a full court press trying to ban Trump from being on ballots.
Very similar. Except Rhineland-Palatinate is smart enough to go through with banning them.
Glad you can now admit that Team Blue engaged in election tampering.
We have to abandon representative government to save democracy from collapse! What do you people not understand!?
We don't understand why people would willingly (eagerly even) vote for candidates that will wreck government, the country, and install a dictatorship.
Democrats charter two jumbo jets for fact finding missions.
Good for them. They know very well the consequences of having extremists run their country.
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.
