The Guardian

Erschreckend, wie sich CDU/CSU und SPD immer mehr wie Republikaner in den USA verhalten – womit sie die Politikverdrossenheit noch weiter steigern und noch mehr Leute in die Arme der #noAFD treiben. #sigh

ROB GRANKOWSKI: He's straight, he's not hairy, and his body is only "nicely fit". I'm not a fan of the NFL, not at all. Yet somehow I have to stop what I'm doing to watch the BYLT commercial. I guess that makes him my latest man-crush, but he doesn't even know I'm alive. What kind of life is this???
