1. Can virtually anyone be a German President?
Well....the catch is that the Bundestag members are the only ones voting for you. Normally.....it's a senior-citizen who is a member of the Bundestag.
This next six months....there's to be a lot of talk. Some folks think it's time to have a non-Politian. Some think it has to be a woman. Some are even prepared for a comedian to hold the office.
Presently, the Linke, Greens and SPD hold enough votes/seats....to get it to a lefty.
2. France issued a mandate....because of the heat (45 C reported)....if you hold a fest as a village/city.....no booze/beer to be sold. Has to be water.
3. VW Touran/T-Roc.....SUV's to be discontinued.
4. Linke Party held a come-together meeting....new leadership. During the late meeting on Saturday.....German soccer viewing occurred with some members. Other members condemned it as 'nationalism'
5. Read through some Ukraine-Russia war-action.....some folks report they've seen Soviet-era 1945 tanks being used by Russia.
6. German Interior Minister (Dobrindt, CSU)....says he wants to increase deportations of migrants convicted of crimes to Afghanistan.
There are around 284,000 male Afghans in some level of status. Anyone's guess to how many have pending court action or already on a deportation list.
