That’s not even the worst of it. Several rooms full of documents were found at his property and, though everyone seems to focus on the toilet one, IMO the worst is the one of a storage room full of classified documents plus a scanner/printer.

I feel like I’m being trolled right now. This cannot possibly be real.

And this guy is actually the president. Fuck America. How could this happen.

I fucking had less boxes when I moved into my new apartment lmfao.

The printer is a nice little touch. Love the black accent between all these white boxes.

I mean this honestly: You would tell me if this was fake, right? This is actually real?

Now here's the really fun question: why are you only just now hearing about this?

[–] DicksAndPizza@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The question isn’t quite as funny as you think. I am German and didn’t actually expect the USA and their „president“ to be an actual meme.

Like… this stuff is an actual joke. But it’s your own fault in America.

Just do your best to keep your country from joining us. The AfD sure seems to be gaining speed like our tea party did.

[–] DicksAndPizza@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Yeah, it’s a serious issue. Our normal parties need to address urgent issues in order to get the protest voters back from the AfD. I’m convinced that 20% of our population are not nazis. They’re just stupid and angry because they don’t feel heard.

Sure there are Nazis. But it’s not 20%. I hope.

They’re just stupid and angry because they don’t feel heard.

My dude, that was the genesis of the first Nazi party. Nazis weren't monsters that crawled out of some portal to Hell, they were people.

[–] DicksAndPizza@lemm.ee 1 points 14 hours ago

You’re missing my point or maybe I didn’t make my point very clear. I personally know people who voted the AfD. They are not nazis. Are they dumb in this regard? Yes. But they don’t hate minorities. They hate the lethargic SPD, CDU, etc.

No party has a serious plan to tackle the immigration issue. And it is an issue. There’s no denying this. The AfD is the only party that openly complains about the immigration. Unfortunately their plans are horrible. So we need the normal parties to do normal things to tackle immigration normally, not like Hitler.

That’s where they are stupid. They vote for the AfD because it’s the only vocal party about it. They fail to see that the AfD would just lock the immigrants up or round them up at the border. They’re ignorant and stupid. But they aren’t nazis.

Again. Some certainly are. All I’m saying is that not ALL of their voters are nazis. They’re angry and misguided.
