And also, people straight up lie and deceive.

It's a very, veeery good thing the fucking CDU was voted out. No matter how much you hate the current government for one reason or another, at least they do something besides shoveling money into their pockets and maintaining status quo.

We'll see whether their ideas work out, but at least they have some.

I had high hopes for the current government, but I never imagined the FDP would be able to do so much damage with so few votes. The way it is now, I'm pretty disappointed. A lot of great ideas that were just shut down in their infancy.

It's not just the FDP though, Scholz is at least complicit with their bullshit. It is beyond me, how the SPD supports whatever Wissing does in the transportation department.

The fact that Scholz didn't even come to my mind when I thought about the German government says it all. I had no expectations and I was still disappointed.
