River 127,477 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 The former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has died aged 86. The media tycoon, who led three Italian governments between 1994 and 2011 and whose Forza Italia party is a junior partner in the current ruling coalition, had been suffering from leukaemia for some time. Berlusconi was one of Italy’s most flamboyant politicians, making a political comeback in 2017 despite a career tainted by sex scandals, countless allegations of corruption and a tax fraud conviction. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/12/silvio-berlusconi-former-italian-prime-minister-dies So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse, he was involved in every scandal back in the day (even sex with minors), made personal laws tailored on himself so he couldn't get arrested and tried to normalize taxes evasion for the people who voted for him. He also made fun of foreign politicians and publicly embarrassed Italy multiple times, yet he manged to become PM 4 times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I choose not to say anything in these cases. If someone was a crappy person I'm not gonna wish him a RIP or give him any special consideration but I still find celebrating deaths rather sketch 2 years ago that would get u WPs guaranteed and the thread locked.

How things change so fast 😅 He died of age. You could maybe have a point if someone did something to him and it'd be perceived as if we're condoning violence. But in this case, it was a natural death. When people say good riddance and celebrate the news, it's because the very negative effect he's had on Italy will cease to exist. And it's not like the guy retired after he's had enough of the destructive role he played in Italian politics, no, he decided to come back again in 2022. He was trying to do damage until his last breath. Who knows how many lives he rekt with his mafia dealings and sex crimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
