Merkel needs to go...

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

Come on germany. Oh and #### you turkey

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Imagine a country's leader devoting time to seeking redress for criticism.  I would think a leader should have real work to do.

What is Erdogan?  Is that the dish made of lamb, spinach and feta cheese?

Pretty sure I have an Erdogan sweater my wife bought for me

 

[The General]

This Edrogan guy sounds like a little #####.

Come on germany. Oh and #### you turkey

Yes.

I still have a hard time believing this is going to happen. Incredibly disappointed in the Germans and Merkel what a travesty.

is Edrogan the kid lit dragon?

How odd.  Historically, Germany usually protects its citizens civil liberties.

"What's the dealllllll with Erdogan?? More like TURD-o-gan, amiright??"

When I picture a German comedian, I just picture every one of them yelling like Sam Kinison in German.  I would think that even the soft spoken ones still sound super pissed off.  "What is the deal with airplane peanuts" by a German comedian probably sounds like a Hitler speech.

Was it the joke that ends with the punchline, "but you bang one goat and they call you Erdogan."?

If not that then pretty similar. Also bits about Erdogan being a pedophile

It is being reported that the German Government is working to get the specific paragraph removed from law, before a case can be started in court....
