I don't know how to link IG stories, but this one is from IG account _christian_flake_lorenz_

Does anyone know from when/where this is?

If I understand correctly Flake says (reading the piece of paper)

"Meine liebste Rammstein Textzeile, da muss ich mal überlegen..ähm..die Platte is noch nicht ganz da, aber die kommt bald und da ist 'ne Textzeile die heißt 'Besser wiederlich als wieder nicht'"

(My favorite Rammstein line of text, I have to think about it ... well ... the record isn't quite there yet, but it's coming soon and there is a line of text that says 'Better to be reprehensible than again not')

(it's catchier in german 😊)

Is he referring to one of the songs on the Rammstein White album or...

I'm aware that there's a segment of my party that believes that anything short of complete and unquestioning loyalty to a president who belongs to my party is unacceptable and suspect. The notion that one should stay silent as the norms and values that keep America strong are undermined, and as alliances and agreements that ensure the stability of the entire world are routinely threatened by the level of thought that goes into 140 characters — the notion that we should say or do nothing in the face of such mercurial behavior — is ahistoric and profoundly misguided.
