Give it a few more years, and people won't get what the joke was supposed to be anymore…

Diese Kohlmeise hat ja nie gesungen. Wir wissen immer noch nicht, wem er da sein Ehrenwort gegeben hatte, oder warum dieses Indianerehrenwort offenbar wichtiger war als sein verdammter Amtseid…
Kohlmeise und… Schnapsmeise? Kornmeise? Schnapsdrossel kenne ich, aber Drosseln sind schwarz und größer.
Vielleicht Blaumeise?
In the background i can only recognize Shinzo Abe (Japan).
John Bolton is also quite recognizable. The rest, I can't place, either.
Germany’s Angela Merkel called the U.S. president’s words “sobering and a little depressing"
Meanwhile, the Italians thought he was too chaotic and disorganized, the Greek didn't like his lack of work ethic, the French objected to his constant philandering and the British were put off by his taste in food.
Das "Blechdach verbogen"? Okay, ich werd alt, ich komm nicht mehr hinterher mit den Euphemismen. Heißt das, ihr habt maßlos gesoffen? Oder bezieht sich das auf eine andere neumodische junge Leute Praktik, die mir nicht geläufig ist und die zu starkem Durchfall führt?
How is he 94 years old while not even looking 70?
These prefab panel apartment buildings were made to reduce homelessness. Obviously, the people living in there weren't homeless anymore by that point, and in many cases they weren't homeless before either, because, believe or not, at the time, those apartments were a big upgrade for people from rural regions.
These brutalist style buildings were/are not very pretty, and I would much prefer the much nicer, organically grown mid-density residential areas of Western Europe, but if given the choice between solving the homelessness problem with anti-homeless spikes and police raids on tent cities versus solving it by constructing a lot more mid- to high- density apartment buildings of any type, pretty or not, I would definitely prefer the latter.
They've recently been arresting white-skinned people from traditional white and western countries as well, such as Germany. What's more, we're not even talking about just sending them back anymore. That, I could even kinda live with, even if it is both unethical and stupid (the US needs those people's cheap labor). We're talking about locking them up without trial or any process whatsoever in illegal torture prisons.
You've hit the nail on the head. As weird and hard to believe as it seems right now, it's not Trump himself who will be our biggest problem in the mid to long term. It's who ever comes after him who he and his followers are paving the way for now.
Trump so far has been of a somewhat limited dangerousness for freedom and democracy so far, not because his views and convictions are not dangerous enough, but because he's simply too incompetent to be properly dangerous. There is a good likelihood that whoever comes after him will be a lot more competent.
The cavendish banana, which most people these days know as a "normal banana", is already slowly dying out. You may have noticed that normal store-bought bananas do not have any seeds in them. That means the only way they can multiply is through farmers constantly manually removing suckers from their base and replanting those as a new plant, which in turn means all modern cavendish plants are essentially clones of each other. Which in turn means banana plnatations are an even more extreme kind of monoculture than wheat or corn, which makes them absurdly susceptible to fungal infections. Once a fungus develops that specialises in that particular plant, there is no way to stop the process.
It has happened before, in the 1950ies, with the previous "standard banana", the Gros Michel, and it's happening again now.
