1. There's a dark sickness spreading throughout the world.

I fear we haven't been this sick as a species in 70 years.

2. I'm kind of speechless.

ETA: all Italian products and travel should be boycotted. That's all I got.

Fuck him

3. yes. Italy is a mess too. Some of this came out during the G-7.

[Mrs. Overall]

4. Yes. Trump praised Italy's new prime minister, Giuseppe Conte, and invited him to the WH

during the G-7.

7. So many meetings, so little time.

Maybe he should invite Italy, N. Korea, and Russia at the same time.

5. Italy: the birthplace of fascism

Let’s not forget that.

My spouse tried to defend them by saying “But they also gave us the Renaissance.”

“They eventually lynched Mussolini, too. It doesn’t make fascism right. And we wouldn’t have needed the Italians to give us a Renaissance if they hadn’t also given us the Dark Ages. I do like art, though.”

9. "I do like art though"

Ouch.

Well, our Viet Nam invasion and the festering racism of the 1960s gave us the most amazing art in hundreds of years (especially music). Maybe that will come out of this. Maybe that will help us survive and overcome this. Maybe.

11. I would say pointedly that the Renaissance was from 1300-1600.

This is now! Not 700 years ago!

8. You'd think they'd have learned something

considering Berlusconi's disastrous reign.

10. For those who say stay quiet and vote

I say make noise and also vote.
Every day fascists stay in power
we lose. Everyday we stay quite
it makes it harder to resist the following
day. we resisted imprisoning children
loud and clear we made a difference .
We should do the same for democracy.
We should shout loudly no More lies.
We need to rise to the occasion all
the time.
What we are facing is the most serious
challenge to our republic since the civil war.

12. I love vacationing in italy but will never go back if they do this.

What a creep.

Yesterday on the Stephanie Miller show, Malcolm Nance said this was started by Putin and the right wing cabal (Steve banon teal) is spreading this evil racism around the world and if it’s not stopped it will get even more uglier all over the world. He said it’s been spreading in the last 20 years.
