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

So is he a cool dude or another light fascist?
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
When he’ll be done with his second mandate can you lend him to us ?
🇭🇺❤️🇵🇱
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.
I was going to ask if he is one of the right wing idiots, thanks.
He’s definitely the better Donald T.
Fun fact: He literally is Donald T ;)
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?
It’s lightened up in recent years: https://www.npr.org/2024/04/01/1241984004/ties-necktie-biden-obama-clinton-presidents-fashion
Justice for Brobama’s tan suit 😔🤟
Funniest thing about that “controversy” is that Obama was wearing a suit almost identical to one worn by President Reagan. So unpresidential!
But he did it while black. Important detail for conservatives.
Seems like Obamas suit had less wrinkles too
To be fair, it seems like the state of Reagans pants is due to a combination of high winds and thin fabric.
To be equally fair, though, Reagan was still one of history’s greatest monsters and if hell existed he’d be a high ranking official there now.
Modern textile.
As a German, fair enough.
Honestly, I’m happy we can send them help :3 🇩🇪♥️🇵🇱
"It’s all okay we will just stay there after helping because of lower rents and do some gentrification etc. "
Especially now that the border is being closed/controlled again.
I do laugh that it’s been long enough and relations are good enough they can joke about that.
Meanwhile, Polish politicians will demand WW2 reparations from Germany every time an election’s coming up.
Only the authoritarian politicians that undermined democracy and luckily lost majority (PIS).
I don’t think it was a joke
Germans think it’s funny.
Das genügt.
I haven’t heard the speech (tone, etc), but it does read like a joke.
Poles are fucked up, this is not a joke
Poles seeing German soldiers enter the country: “Not this shit again!”
“Aw shit, here we go again.”
It’s electric tric tric tric tric

“Why are they all saluting like that??”
The sandbags need to be this high. Everyone got it? Now everyone show me how high!
Where is this from ?
Have you seen Kyle?
And here I thought I came up with an original joke.
No
It’s from Kyle

Goddamn AfD, we told them to stop “building roofs”
If you see Russians coming from the other side, panic.
Don’t panic; open fire.
But what if it’s cloudy?
The fire is still there.
Ditto the trees making sounds while falling in the forest while nobody is a round or even a flat 😁
Doesn’t look like they d be coming in the next couple of years
That dude has a good sense of humor. He seems like a good leader.
For real. Boris Johnson was always up for a laugh, and a bit of harmless fun, which is why we elected him. He was the absolute best thing to happen to England, and the wake of destruction he left behind still leaves many of us breathless.
Is Tusk similar to Boris? I mean, obviously Boris presided over Brexit which was a real fuck-up. Then again, was Brexit really Boris’s fault? What with the referendum, democracy and all that good stuff. It seems to me that the people of the UK made their own bed in that regard.
His crimes:
- https://edition.cnn.com/2022/07/06/uk/boris-johnson-scandals-intl/index.html (various scandals)
- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-56319927 (literally giving public money to his friends during a crisis)
Who he is:
- https://reaction.life/jeremy-vine-my-boris-story/ (“shark” vs “sheep” story)
He pretends to be a lovable harmless buffoon, but he is actually a severely corrupt well-connected man who knows how to win public opinion. Such men are dangerous.
No, not at all. I think it was just one association they had that funny-likable doesn’t automatically mean being a good politician (or person).
Yes, good point.
Boris literally just made up stories about the horrors of the EU when he was a journalist in Brussels:
https://www.ft.com/content/ad141e8a-976d-11e9-9573-ee5cbb98ed36
He definitely helped set the stage for Brexit.
Sure, but there was a very long debate about the implications of Brexit with both sides getting a comprehensive airing. I’m not defending Boris. Boris is an asshole and a corrupt, clownish demagogue, but the Conservative Party is more than just Boris. The people of the UK voted for Brexit in a refendum and kept the Conservatives in power for 14 years, including twice AFTER the Brexit referendum. Heck, the 2019 election was practically a second referendum on Brexit and the Conservatives got their largest landslide victory since Thatcher was PM. Boris may be an asshole, but the people of the UK have to own Brexit.
Since 5:45 we’re
