merkel allows prosecution of comedian for edrogan jokes

The meat of the joke is that the comedian is being advised- by another comedian dressed as a lawyer - that the derogatory poem is NOT satire.

As for Merkel- she's now an ' Aunt Sally ' for satire herself. In fact ' Aunt Sally ' might become a term in more widespread usage should Billary get elected.

That law actually goes back to the 19th century and the Kaisers. She does seem to between a rock and a hard place, Erdogan is a mega arsehole but she needs his support on the migrant problem. She has pledged to repeal the law so that it can't be used again in future. Turkey has a law that it regularly uses to jail anyone that mentions the Armenian genocide of 1915, in fact even the word itself is proscribed. Here is an English translation of the poem in question.

I expect that he will end with a 2 week prison sentence or a fine, she also has to worry about the millions of Turks in Germany.

Do you not understand the meaning of the word IF? You aren't very good at this cupcake. You know ever since you started dating Leon your work has suffered.

it is hilarious that you are trying to bad mouth Trump to me even though I don't support him. Yet you have admitted cheating to vote for him.

Of the two of us only you have taken actions that indicate support. Yes, I know cupcake; you want us all to believe you voted for him but it was so your girl Hillary could win.

Your vote is part of the overall process. I'm not surprised you won't take responsibility for your own actions. Most like you don't.
