    Love of my life



    Find someone who looks at you as Berlusconi looked at Craxi, and you'll have a happy life.

    I guess most of people don't know about the links between Craxi and Berlusconi, and they even know less about the former.. if one really wants to know about the Italian system (I mean I don't want to, but people are insane sometimes, so there you are), then Craxi is somewhat the turning point, a milestone so to say.

    Craxi's lifestyle was perceived to be inappropriate for the secretary of a party with so many alleged financial problems: he lived in the Raphael, an expensive hotel in Rome's centre, and had a large villa in Hammamet, Tunisia. As the Mani Pulite investigations were to uncover in the 1990s, personal corruption was endemic in Italian society; while many politicians, including Craxi, would justify corruption with the necessities of a democracy, political leaders at many levels enjoyed a lifestyle that should have been well out of their reach, while most parties continued having financial problems. Rino Formica, a prominent member of the Socialist Party in those years, wittily said that "the convent is poor, but the friars are rich".
    this is a typical italian way of putting things.. make a funny joke out of it, and everything becomes acceptable

    Furthermore, Craxi's arrogant character won him many enemies; one of his most condemned actions was blaming corruption in the socialist party on treasurer Vincenzo Balzamo, just after the latter's death, in order to clear himself of any accusation. He also had controversial friends, such as Siad Barre, dictator of Somalia, Yasser Arafat, leader of PLO, and Ben Ali, dictator of Tunisia. The latter provided protection to Craxi when he escaped from Italy.
    remember always negate the evidence, it works because people are dumb, for the most

    Craxi's entourage was famously criticized by Formica as a "court of midgets and dancers" (corte di nani e ballerine), indicating the often ludicrous and immoral traits of a system based on personal acquaintance rather than merit. Among the friends of Craxi's to receive smaller and larger favours, Silvio Berlusconi is perhaps the most known: he received many favours, especially regarding his media empire, and had a decree named after him ("Decreto Berlusconi") long before he entered politics. Other figures were Craxi's mistresses Ania Pieroni, who owned a TV station in the Rome area, and Sandra Milo, who had a skyrocketing career in the state-owned TV channels RAI.
    boom, that's how you prepare to enter politics, anything else is just incompetence

    Craxi was also known for never apologising, as a matter of principle; most Italians expected an apology after the corrupt system had been exposed. Craxi never apologised, stating he had done nothing that everybody else had not been doing, and that he was being unjustly singled out and persecuted.
    the whole sentence above is a joke, using the term "unjustly" by someone that has never, in all his life, respected the Justice, is funny, isn't it?

    I have 3 gems for you today

    “When asked if they would like to have sex with me, 30% of women said, ‘Yes’, while the other 70% replied, ‘What, again?’”
    In 2011, when facing allegations of underage sex with a prostitute and abusing his office in the following cover up, Berlusconi joked that a survey revealed his incredible popularity with women.

    “I am without doubt the person who’s been the most persecuted in the entire history of the world and the history of man.”
    Talking about his legal problems, Berlusconi followed this audacious quote by complaining he had spent millions on “judges”, before correcting himself and clarifying he meant to say “lawyers”.

    “It’s natural that women are happy if a man tries to seduce them.”
    Speaking about the sexual harassment debate raised after the Harvey Weinstein scandal, Berlusconi said women should be happy if men hit on them. He then clarified that he wasn’t an expert as he rarely had to woo women, who always chase him.

    I wonder what Donald Trump would have to say about that.

    Trump is the natural heir to Berlusconi, he's not as handsome as our beloved president, but he's certainly richer

    Now now, It's about time that I introduce you one of the Heroes of the Third Republic, the (ex)Senator Antonio Razzi.

    abstracting from the link

    In 2006 was elected in the Chamber of Deputies for the centrist populist party Italy of Values, led by the former magistrate Antonio Di Pietro. He was re-elected in the snap election held in 2008.

    In 2011 Razzi left IdV, which was probably the most anti-Berlusconi party in the Italian Parliament, to join People and Territory, a centre-right parliamentary group which supported the government of Silvio Berlusconi.[5]

    In 2013 he was elected in the Italian Senate as a member of The People of Freedom.[6] (Berlusconi's party)
    9.9/9.9/9.9 - perfect piked dive, with reserved double flip. This is how a good politician does, good job man!

    but sadly, for reasons beyond my understanding, Berlusconi later decided to drop him.. maybe it was not Berlusconi himself, but we lost a great politician that day and our Republic will be diminished because of that.

    On 23 January 2018, the new Berlusconi's party, Forza Italia, decided not to renew his candidature for the general election in March.[7] Razzi criticized this choice, declaring that was not decided by Berlusconi but by other FI's leading members who were envious of his popularity.[8]
    ah long are gone the times of their love

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    But Razzi doesn't give up, he's a singer and the future star of the remake of The Gladiator (actually he's more fit than Crowe, nowadays ).. but his true power resides in the ability to deal with the villains and make them look like nice guys.. almost..


    There was a polemic about his meeting with Assad, during which he shot a selfie with his phone.. following the polemic with the Italian press, he ended up saying that "Assad asked me for that, because I'm famous"...


    Razzi wrote a book on Kim, the title is "He's a good president"... always wondered if he wrote that book before or after that Kim started to execute people using heavy air artillery..

    And he's been known as councilor and master of life to many great personalities around the world



    He once said that Freddy asked him if he could use his style when he was not famous yet, and that Razzi allowed him to it, also foreseeing a great future for the singer... this is beyond laughing honestly, I fear that if I start I would end die laughing..

    However, it's sad that none of you understands italian well, because the best of Razzi is how he literary butchers our language with his terrible dialect and on purpose ignorance.. dudes, one thing is certain, no one has the comed... politicians we have!

    Spoiler for bye and kisses

    Covid is doomed!

    Spoiler for better than any vaccine


    also..

    Berlusconi has proven to be a controversial figure with his tenures as prime minister marred with corruption and sex scandals. In 2012, he went on trial accused of allegedly paying for sex with an underage prostitute at his now infamous "bunga bunga" parties.
    ah, sour grapes...
