Asking is lawful, answering is courtesy

… egnent, the more you go on, the more I am convinced that the only opportunity offered by that wicked measure which was the cut in the number of parliamentarians, taken to please you (and to fuck you, because with fewer representatives you are less represented) , will be wasted.

And what is this opportunity?

That of intervening in a way that makes sense on parliamentary regulations, in particular on that of the Senate. I'll give you an example. The discipline of the auditions must be profoundly revised. An audition, as far as I know, is something like this:

Those nice little curtains that are taking place right now in our Senate, where a specific question "Do you like cheese?" half an hour later they answer "Maybe the train goes faster!", they are humiliating for those who question (therefore, from now on it will be appropriate that they also be so for those who are questioned). If the presidents do not protect the role of the Commissions, as happens systematically in the "hate" Commission, and do not ensure that the questions posed by the questioners are answered, there is nothing left but the American confrontation, obviously with limited times. This is if Parliament is to be truly aware of what is happening not so much in the country (we are in contact with it), as in its slightly more elusive apparatuses.

Anyway, I tell you, given that here we are dealing with "messianic" management of the sense of imminence, as Acquarelli says : in August I made two bets with a friend, a scientifically very qualified person, despite his young age, and to you Note. The first bet was that we would not get out of the emergency by December, and the second is that Vaccinopoli would break out by September 2022. I have won the first, I hope to lose the second. Unlike you, my sense of justice does not go so far as to hope that the judiciary will replace the legislative power (more precisely: the Parliament) in the function of political direction (then it does it anyway, but this is another matter: I just try annoyance when someone, for good or bad reasons, wishes them to do so: pan-criminalism equals grillism, which is why "Nurembergists" and "piazzaleloretisti" have always been accompanied to the door here: their blog is another – if it exists still!).

After that, we are here to listen and to understand: if we are made fun of, we will make up for it. Asking is lawful, answering is courtesy, and whoever does not answer us, if ever our concerns and consequent questions were founded (I repeat: we hope not!), Will answer someone else.

Prevention is better than cure, but helping those who do not want to be helped is impossible.

Politics is also (and above all) understanding this.

Amen.
