Too bad. Now I want to discuss Italian politics, @Andrew0409.
That Berlusconi, huh? What’s his deal?

He likes money and women. Who am I to tell him how he should live. He seems to enjoy his life.
I do think it’s a major conflict of interest he won when he owns like half the media in Italy. That’s pretty insane. Imagine that happening in the US.
BTW, he also survived covid and he’s pretty old as well.
We were doing the Trump media mogul celebrity turned politician thing before you guys thought it was cool! That’s what’s up!
We’re OG!
And that’s how these threads deteriorate, folks! The American right will be around soon to tell you that Berlusconi is fake news, and you shouldn’t believe what you see on the MSM. Of course Trump was the first!
It may even be accompanied by a Twitter link, a one-liner, or an insightful meme.
And that’s when the poo-poo hits the fan!
No way. Berlusconi is more Trump than Trump could ever hope to be.
And Bolsonaro is more Trumpy than both of them combined!
Which reminds me… time for a ‘Brazilian Politics thread’?
Hmm, he seems more Pinochetesque to me.
We may need @RickRoll’s opinion on this one.
Yeah, Not all these right wing strongmen are the same
Bolsonaro has a face built for radio.
Berlusconi?
You decide.

I think he is one of a kind. And so are his supporters. And his enemies, too.

It would be interesting, but I don’t think people in Taiwan care much about what happen in the land of samba, football and bossa nova…
Am I right @araujobsd?
I’m interested.
Right you are
Bolsonaro is the Latino Trump version with an ugly wife
Italians have turned out by the hundreds in several cities and towns to vent anger, sometimes violently, over the latest pandemic restrictions that force restaurants and cafes to close early and shutter cinemas, gyms and other leisure venues
They’re kind of ticked off. Don’t seem to understand it’s for their own good. Maybe they need more lecturing to.
Covidiots of the world, unite- you have nothing to lose but your health!
No… We need a competent government that is going to stand up to the interests of big corporations pushing for early lifting of restrictions. Italians are tired of the yoyo.
Italians are clearly tired of something.

It seems that some Italians think that they have rights and the government should be protecting those rights, not restricting them.
I can assure you we don’t want US style of governance or ‘Limited Government’
Italians are clearly tired of something.
Spaghetti?
