RIP Thomas Oppermann (1954-2020), former Parliamentary Leader of the Social Democratic Party and Deputy Speaker of the Bundestag.

He served in Lower Saxony as Landtag deputy from 1990 on, became secretary of science later and was elected to the Bundestag in 2005. From 2007 until 2013 he was Whip of the Social Democratic parliamentary caucus and became its leader subsequently, a position which he held until he was elected Deputy Speaker of the Bundestag in 2017. He just recently announced that this would be his last term in Parliament. Yesterday, he collapsed just shortly before a scheduled TV interview and died shortly after, leaving his wife and four children.

Oppermann was a very charismatic, pragmatic, respected and intelligent politician, who will be sorely missed.

On a somewhat lighter note, Merkel's former economics minister Peter Altmaier (CDU) probably has the best drunken New Year's Eve tweets. The incorrectly spelled Böllerverkaufsvefbot Böllerverkaufsverbot refers to a COVID-related ban on the selling of fireworks around here. This is the spirit of covfefe:






Ah, Peter Altmaier, our very own version of Chuck Grassley on Twitter, with the ultimate highlight being:



"Peter Altmaier on his way. Any minute I am there. The others shall start with the slaughter already!"

In an interview with SPIEGEL, SPD parliamentary leader Rolf Mützenich called Vladimir Putin an "autistic decision maker" with an "obsession for history". Ough
