Eh, as an Italian I had to endure years of bunga-bunga jokes and such... turns out Berlusconi was a class act compared to what you guys managed to elect.
Berlusconi let others do the job of governing...people that lined their pockets as well, but at least we're somewhat decent at actual governing compared to what Trump's second cabinet's probably going to be.
I lived through the 2008 economic crisis, they were terrible, but at least they tried to keep up appearances because they espoused the democratic process, ergo they needed to be reelected
The haters will downvote us for it but damn is it a good time to have a dark sense of humor. It's out of our control but its still bad to see the humor in the absurdity I guess.
I'm still holding out for 'President running the country from prison' which would almost make it worth it.
