It's a big thing here after Abu Hamza's son was detained. In 2015 Hamza was convicted of 11 charges of terrorism and kidnapping and sentenced to life imprisonment in the US. Since then he has been kept in solitary confinement without the possibility of parole. Apparently his very rich son is crashing parties with deadly weapons on his entourage. As one does when daddy is a terrorist :)

A relationship without emotional abuse is is what psychopaths do when they have their get-together murdering orgies. They skip the passive-aggressiveness and go straight for the disembowelment. There's no such thing as being in an abuse free relationship. It''s right up there with :I'm her best friend and I don't want anything else outside that". I'd accept that delusion from 13 year old boys but not from grown-up legislators. For fuck's sake , I can't recall a single relationship I had when I didn't feel like I was being psychologically abused , and I'm like the most libertine dude you'll ever meet , I can't even imagine what people have to deal with in marriages. From what I see around me , men and women alike get into these social contracts , and then get abused at home , at work , on the street , and then they die. In between the abuse they brag about how they're blessed or some nonsense like that , but mostly they go Mall shopping , which for most men , is worse than abuse , it ranks up there with the Holocaust :)

The gypsey prison of Craiova. I really shouldn't be sharing this.

The president also boasted that if he wanted to, he could be the most popular person in Europe. "I could run for any office if I wanted to, but I don't want to," he added. He can run for local office like a city council servant or something like that in some village if he gets citizenship from a third EU country , say Croatia. Then he can run in Bavaria or in Sicily , become a mayor there. He can't run for any of the bicameral positions in a Parliament because he requires the citizenship of that particular country. So he could run as a Senator in Croatia and only in Croatia. Long story short , no , he can't run for public office , especially since he's 72. By the time his citizenship papers come out they'll have a Mexican Transsexual as a President in the US. Just to throw some numbers your way , the EU has some 500 million people and granted about 800k citizenships last year in total. A little more than a third of those people were either Moroccans , Indians , Pakistanis or Turks. You can guess the culprits by the minorities they import , lol. So if you are not that , it's gonna be hard as hell to get citizenship in Western Europe. If you are that , it's gonna be hard as hell to get citizenship in Eastern Europe :)

I find it pretty ironic that non-Anglo media would blatantly copy-paste US media in their misuse of the word czar. First of all , the word is of Balkan origin and is a contracted version of Caesar. It is used in very specific circumstances , mostly in the English speaking world , and it first came up as an American journalistic thing and then the British media gobbled it up , because both entities pretty much have the same owners. So , when Americans use it , they most likely refer to unelected political leaders and this comes from their lack of understanding of Parliamentary Republics. You can see it when arguing with Trump aficionados online , they keep mentioning the unelected EU bureaucrats over and over again , as opposed to their elected sheriffs of Tombstone or whatever the hell they have over there in Arizona. Their CEO's of Defense contractors , banks and pharma being directly appointed by their President is entirely democratic in comparison because somebody waved a flag and told them they're the bestest and freest.
So , in this Italian case for example , these are the steps for a Health Minister to take office :
Those populist anti-establishment nincompoops win the elections , their party takes x many seats in the Parliament. They propose a Prime Minister , or the head of the gouvernment. Well , constitutionally , the President does , but since a PM must be confirmed by vote by both houses of the Parliament , the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate , it's pretty safe to say that the Party that won the election proposes said PM , the President agrees so as to avoid a Constitutional conundrum , and there you go , you now have a Prime Minister.
Now , this PM , has the power to appoint and fire Ministers. The Minister of Health , of Social Justice , of Interior , of Foreign Affairs , of Defense , of whatever Ministry your country has. These Ministers then head government departments , making and implementing decisions on policies in conjunction with the other ministers. Salvini for example heads the Interior , he's a mini-Minister , though if you read American news you'd think he's the President of Italy. Because they'd don't know how Parliaments work , lol :)
Either way , since those Ministers are not elected like Sheriffs , they are obviously unelected bureaucrats , hence the term used in US media since the 1920's , and in British media since Murdoch took everybody's mom for a spin in the Isles. Which is pretty fucked up , and not because having Murdoch bone your mom is the most disgusting thing ever , but because the Brits have had a Parliament since the 13th century and somehow all Brexiters have internalized all sorts of American Republicanisms. They don't know they have a Parliamentary system , they believe they're in the 51 State and if Eggsit doesn't come to pass they'll throw all the French tea in the Boston Harbor :)

My sleepy city of Constanta wakes up for 2019. The accidentally renaissance dude flew through the windshield , hit that green fence in the background , landed in the yard , came out naked Terminator-style. Did I tell you how I'm never leaving this country ? Ever. I wouldn't know what to do with myself anywhere else :)

Omg :)))

Baltic Germans in traditional attire , 1521. A timeless classic , one can never go wrong with the lampshade look :)

Percent of MyHeritage DNA users in Europe who are at least 5% Greek in their Ethnicity Estimate. Nonsense. Outside of some cousins in Northern Bulgaria , some cousins in Northern Greece , and some old family photos of some people wearing silly Greek hats in Turkey and Armenia , I'm 100% Roman. On my mother's side. My dad is 1.90 meters tall with blond hair , green eyes , lives in Austria and is Catholic. Totally ruined my classical heritage with his barbarian Germanic wörk-wörk genes . If I ever get married I'll take nothing but an olive-skinned girl. I need to restore the balance in this family :)
