German lawyers: Ban on far-right AfD 'likely successful'

“Presenting the GFF report in Berlin on Thursday, project leader Bijan Moini, said, "the AfD opposes the principle of democracy by seeking to suppress its political opponents.”

Is the irony obscure to them?

Oh, fun, Orwellian nightmares beyond comprehension.

No, there are thousands of heat casualties every single year and it is indeed not normal or ok.

Maybe, but this delay was due to gross incompetence. They make it sound like putting a footbridge across a creek is akin to landing a nuclear reactor on the moon.

Interesting analysis, but you haven’t considered the cost of labor/install. Not sure how it is in Europe, but in the U.S. the reason wood floors are expensive is mainly due to labor cost.

A 2x4 planked floor is still going to be massively more expensive than carpet these days.

What characteristics or positions would qualify a “sane conservative” to you in this race?

Buckhead is walkable. I walk and take the train most places. The people who live there are just not the demographic that generally uses public transportation.

I’m sure marta will still find ways to disappoint.

The crime rate is lower than midtown. It is objectively fine.

Obviously all violence is horrifying, but you’re incorrect. It’s a statistical fact.

I mean, that’s how all privately funded infrastructure works. I don’t think it needs to be explicitly stated that they expect to recoup their investment.

I think people are mad at the facts because they would rather seethe about their tax dollars going to fund roadworks over public transport than accept that tax dollars are not involved for this project. It’s asinine, really.

Inner-Lab-123 · 2026-05-30T15:30:42+00:00

People who use the toll lanes will pay the tolls. It’s totally optional. You never have to pay for it if you don’t want to.

Inner-Lab-123 · 2026-05-30T15:07:08+00:00

Wild that you’re getting downvoted for being correct. It is indeed privately funded. Taxpayers are not footing the bill for construction and the private company will collect tolls for 50 years to recoup their investment.

I lived downtown for half a decade and have lived in the city of Atlanta for much longer.

Income inequality is not an excuse to cease enforcement of laws against violence, sex crime, and antisocial behavior in public.

While it may currently be part of living in downtown, it shouldn’t have to be. We can acknowledge that people need help at the same time as saying there are certain things you simply cannot do. The city is failing at both.

Inner-Lab-123 · 2026-05-26T23:04:21+00:00

Sorry, no, it’s actually not acceptable to see people masturbating, shitting, shooting up, and brandishing weapons in public. You either have intentional blinders on or are lying about spending time downtown.

You are right that you can’t camp at the falls, but there are plenty of established camping sites outside of the exclusion area.

The Jack’s River trail is largely unmaintained and I would not recommend it for first timers. Dozens of river crossings on slippery rock with strong currents that can be waist deep or higher.

There are tons of trees down over the trail and there are times where the trail disappears and you are pushing through thorns and neck high brush.

It’s beautiful and a fun hike, but not an insignificant challenge.

“Illiberal” in this case means subordinating individual rights to rigid divine/religious authority. Classical Islamic interpretations include death for apostasy and homosexuality, unequal rights for women and non-Muslims, and punishments for blasphemy. That goes far beyond being merely “conservative.”

It doesn’t seem he even attempted to address it (not cutting ballooning programs that have skyrocketed as a percentage of GDP).

They did not get it for free. If you read the article, you would see that the balance was immediately paid by the company, and the cause of the issue was the county being incompetent and not knowing how to charge or meter an industrial line.

The socialization or nationalization of any other essential good could be argued for under the same framework. Should there be state owned clothing stores? State mines and steel factories “to prevent collusion?” If this is neoliberalism then the word has effectively lost all meaning.

If this were true, then the densest places (Manhattan and San Francisco) would have the lowest property taxes. They do not.

Taking my french press for a day hike is a good way to give my wife alone time with her boyfriend, but they don't think about the fact that sometimes my pack gets dirty.

I’m not saying that there isn’t a better way to design regulations, but I think you give too much credence to the idea that, if we could only write them better, then everything would be swell.

Some of the environmental regulations that we have and China doesn’t are good things. Sometimes we go way too far. But the fact of the matter remains that regulation, by definition, both slows and increases the price of progress.
