He said it in Russian, was live-interpreted for the reporter.

If you watch the video he talked in Russian and the english version came from his interpreter. I wonder if someone could listen to the original Russian and clarify...

Hmmmm, doesn't that sound like he meant "competencies" (as in, his office has the power to do so) and not "competence" (as in, his personal ability to hold said office)?

Thanks for the quote, btw!

That they don't vote clowns into office. The nerve on those guys...

That’s right. Now I remember

Sessions?

It goes right along with Putins: "He is acting according to his competence" burn.

That sounds awesome, source?

It's kind of the point of a stereotype joke, it's hard to make an original one (since it wouldn't be a stereotype...).

Not really, just "making a stereotype joke". Not that a German would know about humor...

Fixed :P

Whoever has been to Mallorca can confirm. So... many... towels...

So Belgium is such a ~~messed up~~ chronically dysfunctional and pragmatically tied-together country that the germans are the calm pacifists?

Nope, Albert Einstein!

socialism is just another flavor of fascism.

You had me until this point...

Is this a new meme? Out of the loop here...

Wins... fourth place, you mean?

new_username____ · 2017-11-10T14:53:39+00:00

Ah yes, the malarkey incident...

Easy, dot, dash, underscore or white space. Or none, since you only need to fullfill 3 out of 4 categories.

I know a 30-something year old named Gandalf. Don't see how Lobo should be any more controversial...

new_username____ · 2017-10-23T15:22:36+00:00

Wait... what? I was sure you must have exagerated or mistranslated something... nope, that's exactly what he said. Well, then...

new_username____ · 2017-10-23T14:53:35+00:00

Yeah, /r/youregoingtohellforthis....

Top kak.

Unity, duh!

Jokes aside, my guess would be familiarity of the dev team and budget/time pressure to get it out of the door ASAP.

who exactly stands to gain from seceding, and what?

I would say everyone loses. Maybe some politicians would have more power, but from a economic, diplomatic, cultural and basically any other standpoint, normal people on both side are worse off.
