A giant float at this German carnival didn't hold back.....

A carnival held in the German city of Düsseldorf played host to an array of eye-catching parade floats — including one attempting to visualise Donald Trump's relationship with Russia.

The float, which was paraded through the streets on Monday, showed a naked representation of the US president being mounted by a bear wearing a Russian ushanka hat emblazoned with a red star.

On the side of the bear was written Russland-Affäre, which translates to "Russia affair". Like its English equivalent, Affäre has a sexual connotation.

USA, 2019.

Repukelicans should be so fucking proud to be fucked up the ass by mother russia.

The "Twilight Zone" never blew my mind as much as this reality.

Have a nice day.

They don't worry about the "but kids are watching stuff", they tell it like it is in cartoons and public displays.
