2. Tilly is the master Karneval satirist

He works like a fiend to keep his themes current just before "Rose Monday" (today) and for this one day, he is the conscience of Germany (Europe, really).

His image of Putin manipulating the German far right (the AfD) could just as easily have referred to his manipulating of our Republicans. Maybe he just ran out of time and space, or maybe he just chose to keep that theme local. I don't know, I've never met him, though I'd offer to buy him dinner if I did!

3. Putin must hve been more pissed off than anyone could have imagined!!

I can't imagine what law firm would have agreed to take this lawsuiit, or what for. Defamation? I have no idea what for, since I don't know what more could be done to damage Putin's reputation than Putin has accomplished for himself already. Asswipe & McHole LLC?

Anyway, here is another of Tilly's floats this year that might just have answered Putin's lawsuit in advance:

5. What are his floats made out of? They have so much detail!
