Ich als Audi Chef hätte an dem Tag ganz schlimm Durchfall gehabt. Sich da mit Donnie bei einer Wahlveranstaltung auf die Bühne zu stellen und danach, „mimimi, dem Präsidenten sagt man nicht ab“ zu winseln ist schwach.

Ich will gar nicht urteilen, ob eine Fabrik in USA eine gute oder schlechte Idee ist. Das ist eine Investitionsentscheidung, das kann man machen oder nicht. Aber das verkünden auf einer WAHLVERANSTALTUNG für so einen korrupten Demokratiefeind, das ist echt schlecht. Audi, ihr seid tief gesunken.

The allegations against Donald Trump for sexual assault seem to have a common denominator: He is physically violent and intentionally inflicts pain on his victims. He likes to slam women and girls up against doors and walls as he roughly manhandles them. Donald Trump is a sick and twisted person.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

~4,500 forced labourers died during the Third Reich in the Auto Union’s [AUDI] wartime underground plant at Leitmeritz, near the Flossenbürg concentration camp.

Audi 'Company History' - just 1 sentence: "Employing around 17,300 forced labourers and 3,700 prisoners from various satellite camps of the Flossenbürg concentration camp, the company was firmly caught up in the Nazi terror regime." [caught up = keenly participated and profited]

Audi’s corporate predecessor, Auto Union AG, has a well-documented Nazi-era history of armaments production and exploitation of forced and concentration-camp labour.

“I was only following orders” can work only where the order came from a competent authority, was not manifestly unlawful, and the subordinate neither knew nor reasonably should have known its illegality.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."
