(12,335 posts)I don't know too much about Italian politics other than they too often change leaders, but she seems to be hanging in

(5,651 posts)Meloni's party only won with 26% of the vote in a record low turnout election. Many more Italians voted against than for.

(12,335 posts)But we and other parliamentary systems around the world tend to be stable. Italy has not been known for that so I am surprised she has lasted this long. She may have had to moderate but I just don’t follow it close.

(103,401 posts)He knows he can get some traction with that, seeing as they elected the neo-Nazi-curious party. He needs a "win" now, rather than a uniform "fuck off!" from the inhabitants he inflicts himself on.

(11,696 posts)This is a Jubilee Year, which is probably why Shady Vance wants to go. To walk through as many magic portals as possible. But, Rome is already super-crowded with tourists/pilgrims. Especially at Easter! The security for him will be a fucking NIGHTMARE!
I'm hoping that, when he visits the Vatican, he accidentally trips going down those long stairs from the Sistine Chapel to St. Peter's Square. Or that lightning hits him.

(60,191 posts)The Pope has been very unhealthy, but it might be hard to say no. Clearly the Pope doesn't agree with Trump's agenda, but I suspect that he will attempt to spin it that way.
