This new leader is scary.

I hope the courts took Steve Bannon's passport, because you can bet he is just itching to get back there so he can now open his fascist camp and try and convert the rest of Europe. The previous government would not let him but he is close to this new fascist government.

(269,004 posts)9. The Italians evicted Bannon
https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2021/09/08/italy-evicts-steve-bannons-right-wing-group-from-medieval-monastery
After a protracted legal battle, the Italian culture ministry has evicted Benjamin Harnwell, a British Catholic conservative, from the 13th-century Italian monastery where he planned to launch a right-wing political academy with Donald Trumps former chief strategist, Steve Bannon. The ministry is now enlisting a coalition of community groups to open the Certosa di Trisulti to the public and determine what purpose it should serve. But Harnwell, who says he is the victim of a miscarriage of justice, has filed a final appeal on the case with the Corte di Cassazione, the Italian Supreme Court.
Following a ruling this spring by the Consiglio di Stato, Italys highest administrative court, Harn-well was ordered to vacate the property, located on a wooded hill in Collepardo, south-east of Rome, by 26 July. Culture ministry officials subsequently conducted an inventory of the buildings, including a cloister, a library and an 18th-century pharmacy. The initial survey suggests nothing has been damaged, a ministry spokesman tells The Art Newspaper.
The monastery is a listed national monument overseen by the culture ministrys director general of museums, former Pompeii chief Massimo Osanna. Part of the complex will be opened to visitors as a heritage attraction in the coming months, but there will be a longer period of reflection before its primary use is decided, the spokesman says. The ministry is partnering with the Lazio region and Trisulti Bene Comune (TBC), an alliance of ten local associations, to develop a longer-term management plan for the site.

On edit: she is also telling people that republicans dont and wont govern and how electing them will change your life day to day.
People who disagree with voting rules want to disregard votes and voting.
