Bei der CDU ist die Empörung über ein Denkmal für einen Ermordeten größer als die Empörung über den Mord selbst. Aus gegebenem Anlass noch einmal die Kolumne dazu.

Friedrich Merz' Antifa-Kommentar: Walter Lübcke verdient viel mehr
Friedrich Merz hat linken Demonstrierenden fehlende Solidarität mit Walter Lübcke vorgeworfen. Die Witwe des Ermorderten widerspricht. Und wir sollten es auch.

If Belgian PM de Wever believes this, just imagine how he’ll react when Russia attacks the EU:
“But who really believes Russia will lose in Ukraine? It’s a fable…It’s not even desirable for them to lose & for instability to take hold in a country (with) nuclear weapons.”

Don Jr.’s Fund to Cash In on $620M Magnet Deal With Pentagon
Never mind that his father views magnets as an almost existential source of confusion, Trump Jr. is on track to benefit from them with the latest contract handed to a company he backs.

Harry Akin was an Austin, TX legend & mayor of Austin '67-'69.
He practiced integration in his restaurants ('Night Hawk' because they were open late) as early as 1958 in Texas.
In 1963, he got 16 other Austin restaurants to pledge to serve everyone "regardless of race, color or creed."

A Night Hawk restaurant in Austin, 1958. One cook is African American, the other white. Owner Harry Akin was quite progressive, hiring and promoting African American employees and women long before that was common and convinced other restaurants to desegregate. Courtesy the Austin History Center.

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.
Note how these awful people are getting exactly the exclusions of children that they demanded and *that still isn’t enough for them*: they demand everyone be delighted about it and kiss their arses for being brilliant.

Interessant: Böhmermann und Fleischhauer werden offenbar von der selben Firma produziert.
Ist euch aufgefallen, dass bei Fleischhauers neuem Showformat kein Abspann ist? Ich hab da mal nachgefragt und es ist schon sehr lustig, wer das produziert.. wobei die Verschachtelung der Firmen dahinter etwas verwirrend ist. Und: die Aufhängung im ZDF.
