Weird. Everything still looks fine for me. It is a FB link. Could it be that I am logged in to FB? However, when I try to open the image in a separate tab I get the "signature expiered"empty page.
Does that one work for you:

Ya all can complain about Trump until the cows come home. But for sure the U.S. is not going to get this sh*tshow
I think we need another emoticon, as I have no idea what sh*tshow your image represents, nor what you are implying.

I directly post the translation. In case someone wants to see the original, it's here:
www.der-postillon.com
1. The name of the group is not "Benni Surprise Party!
", but "Yemen Surprise Bombing!"
2. Everyone posts in English.
3. The bomb emoji is used excessively often.
4. Instead of "Benni will be quite surprised, haha," it's always "Yemen will be quite surprised, haha."
5. The group members have names like "Marco Rubio," "JD Vance," or "Pete Hegseth."
6. Those involved are constantly criticising Europe and the EU.
7. The date for the "Surprise Attack" doesn't coincide with Benni's birthday at all.
8. Nobody asks how much everyone wants to pay for the gift.
9. Someone keeps writing: I'm a journalist for the Atlantic and I don't think I'm even supposed to be here.
Do three or more of these signs apply to your "birthday planning group"? Then you've most likely landed in a US government attack preparation chat! Quickly write to Selina so she can get you into the right group.

A homegrown attempt at humor introducing MAGA Mike und seine hässliche Frau Karen.
Scenario: Mike and Karen dressed head-to-toe in colorful MAGA regalia have realized their shared dream to visit Paris. A local gendarme has stopped the plucky couple for obstructing foot traffic.
Cop: (free translation) "Howdy Folks! May I help you?"
M. Mike: "No Polly-voo, French-fries!"
Karen: . "Ooo, Occifer! I simply love that hat! Where can I buy one?"
Cop: "Why're you two walking backwards?"
M. Mike: "Ich bin ein fetter, dummer Tourist!"
Karen: "We was told to walk on the Left Bank in Paris! Well, we ain't no Lefties, no Siree-Bob! So we're walking backwards to put the Left on the Right! Right?"
Next episode: MAGA Mike und seine widerliche Schlampe Karen realize their geographical boo-boo and seek to find their own private Paris...

I think a better translation in this case would be "China can't copy everything!".

One useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress. (John Adams).
Pretty much describes the current congress.

Just read on a German website:
10. Why even have peace negotiations for a special operation?
9. That annoying orange American would have come too.
8. The last facelift has not yet completely subsided.
7. Since the Prigozhin incident, he has been afraid to board a plane.
6. He currently has no time because he has to fight a war.
5. Kyiv is not yet conquered.
4. He is not traveling to a country ruled by an autocrat.
3. The negotiating table in Turkey is far too short.
2. All his doppelgangers were sick at the same time.
1. Unfortunately, he had a hair appointment right then.
