What is funny is the tantrum being pitched by national Chancellor Schultz of the Social Democrats, whose own party and their national allies got creamed in these elections, demanding that the AfD not be allowed into either state government. Kowtowing to similar demands by Macron in France has just split France's traditional conservative Les Republicains in two, and the CDU faces a similar risk.

The math in Thuringia almost requires including the AfD, which won 32 or the 45 seats needed for a majority. They could get a solid majority either as a right of center coalition with the CDU's 23 seats or a right / left populist coalition with the BSW's 15 seats.

Building a coalition led by the CDU is not mathematically possible without including the Left Party, which in Thuringia is the old East German Communist Party. If they rebuke the populist right to go with the barely reformed ex-communists, it is unlikely that CDU voters in Thuringia or elsewhere in Germany would stand for it. Such a coalition would also not be mathematically possible without having both the Left Party and the BSW both in it, and there is lots of bad blood betwwen those two parties.

Saxony also has challenging math. To get a 61 seat majority, the most logical is combining the CDU's 41 seats and the AfD's 40 seats. That is the only two party coalition that is even possible and for either to build a multi-party coalition would require a lot of strange bedfellows.

Opposition to illegal immigration is driving elections all over Europe. The globalists are on the run.

Another deflection, Little Bobbie? We are interested in what is going on HERE, or rather what is NOT going on by the pathetically weak Biden-Harris regime. We have had seven AMERICAN citizens held hostage by a terrorist group that is also the quasi-governmental body of Gaza. Biden-Harris have NEVER demanded the return of those Americans and have ignored them, even when one of them is murdered in cold blood. We do not need whussies like that running our country. Of course, we first saw that with their Afghanistan debacle. Biden and Harris are a disgrace to America.

One major area where the globalists are trying to eliminate free specch is any adverse comments on or objections to illegal immigration. They want to shut up citizens who are fed up with illegal immigration. France and the UK, and nwo Ireland, seem to be the worst so far on this, but Kamala Harris is a huge threat to American free speech.

You have clearly pointed out in previous posts that you parrot the spiel of the Hamas apologists.

Your "point" is to try to deflect from the important point here which is free speech, and particularly what our courts have long recognized as the most important part of free speech, which is pplitical speech. You are obviously getting that deflection from far left talking points from groups that oppose free speech, as you yourself also clearly do.

You want to change the subject from the far left's War on Free Speech.

Apologies for my last comment. Porn is a multibillion dollar industry that for many is best left not talked about. My point was about Elon and how he profits. Not to disparage anyone on this site.

Elon has every right to provide the content. No question.

Interesting that the far left pro Repub (RINO) troll brings up 'consenting' sex. I suppose calculating sex like 29 year old CommieLaLa Harris and 60 year old married Mayor Brown bartering the concubine relationship in exchange for a California political career is an example of consenting sex.

But using Bill Clinton as an example of consenting sex turned my giggle box over hehehehe. I suppose that's one sex category for Billy Goat Bill: Such as consenting regular adultery sex with G. Flowers or consenting exploitive sex like 22 year old student M. Lewinsky interning at the White House.

But with Billy the Goat there is a whole other category of bloody lip violent sex with a string of victims such as: J. Broaddrick, L. Millwee, P. Jones, K. Willey, C. Zercher, E. Wellstone, S. James, K. Hinton, and numerous University of Arkansas students.

Yeah buddy. Great example.

The sick attempt to deflect from the far left's campaign against Freedom of Speech is disgusting. Macron in his arrest of Durov is just as much a fascist as his Vichy French predecessors, and the skinhead fascist in Brazil and what he is doing to free speech there is even worse. Zuckerburg has been a useful idiots for the opponents of free speech, but Musk is standing up for freedom and for principle.

Bobbie looks to be a porn guy. I once heard of a site called something like YouPorn, and if that is the correct name and if it is still around, it would probably be right up his street. I remember the name because it was something like YouTube, another highly politically censored site.

Even the Israeli people are tired of Netanyahu’s endless war and failed policy.

I think Bob would have loved the old Soviet Union. Not only did they no allow porn, but they did not allow free speech either unless you were a communist.
