No, I’m actually blatantly mocking that tendency? I thought I was pretty obvious about that.

Do you want me to break it down a bit more? “Russian posters have a tendency to blame everyone but themselves to avoid personal responsibility.”

Now the thing I wonder is, how many of the people you consider respectable have used the argument "tendency to blame anyone but themsekves" with you. And how is it that you don't consider admitting this embarrassing?

Oh you're just repeating what I say back to me now? Gosh, if only there was a word for that tactic.

Well, you keep saying funny things! If you don't actually believe these things, why is it that you keep telling us you do?

It seems that you didn't read the article, given that the part I quoted is right at the bottom of it.

I'm really surprised no one at all has posted about Ireland's abortion referendum. Looks like Repeal is set to win tomorrow.

But then again, SYRIZA is schooling all other Greek parties in how brazenly nepotistic you can be and the left seems to like it.

I'm going to regret this, but there are no leftists fans of syriza. The only people who like them are social democrats

...And before you embarrass yourself, social democrats have been very consciously and openly centrists for a generation now.

I then asked her that since my parents are Colombian immigrants and I’m the first generation born in America in my family, which group therefore do I belong to? The good ones or “sudacas de mierda”? She made a curious gulping sound, scheduled my appointment with a GI specialist, and called in the next patient.

Italian law has public financing of political parties in the books. Effectively, after an election and until the following election, parties get public funding of about one euro per year per vote they got. By law, this money can only be used to fund the functioning of the party (paying staff, buying leaflets and ads, and so on).

About ten years ago, then-Lega leader Bossi and then-treasurer Belsito moved this public funding money abroad and used it for other things (like for example Bossi buying his son a college degree from a university in Albania). They were found guilty of this (along with other people) and sentenced to some years in jail, and also they had to pay back the money plus all the profits they got from using it, totalling about 49 million euros. When the state seized Lega's bank account, they only found three and something million euros there, so they asked the court to allow them to seize all current and future Lega assets until they've paid the money back, and the court agreed.
