Venice protesters claim victory as Bezos changes wedding venue

[muriel_volestrangler]

Protesters in Venice are claiming an "enormous victory" after US tech billionaire Jeff Bezos and his wedding guests were forced to "run away" from the city centre, moving their main celebration to another location.

The venues for the three-day party to mark the wedding of one of the world's richest men to TV presenter Lauren Sanchez were never officially revealed.

But the lavish celebrations were supposed to culminate in an event on Saturday at the sumptuous Scuola Grande della Misericordia.
...
On Monday, activists from a group calling itself Everyone Hates Elon unfurled a giant image of Bezos in Piazza San Marco, protesting against the super-rich with the slogan: "If you can rent Venice for your wedding then you can pay more tax."

There has been a lot of protest, and anti-rich-fuck-buying-the-world feeling.

6. why can't they get married on one of his rocket ships?

Or maybe do it on the moon. He's rich - show it off!

OMG I just googled the fiancee's pic - she's got those gawd-awful MAGA lips. I try not to care what people look like but those lips are so ugly.

8. I am sure Putin

would rent out one of his personal Mega mansions.........and might not even charge him and his bimbo.......a good way to get kompromat on them too......

9. maybe the Kremlin itself!

[DENVERPOPS]

12. Exactly

I think of all the photos we have of numerous Republican Politcians visiting Russia and photos of them sitting at a dinner table with Putin, and seriously wonder........

Hell, there were a number of Republican Politicians from the U.S. HOUSE AND SENATE who celebrated OUR FOURTH OF JULY, by being the guests of Putin/Russia.. And remember the picture of Presidential candidate (Jill Stein???) having dinner with a table full of Russian Gov't officials.......

14. The lips...

... she was born with were much prettier, but then, it's what's inside that counts, and anyone who shares intimacies with the likes of Bezos can't be much better than him under all the cosmetic work.

15. Agreed on the lips.

At what point is okay to just say that some of these women look ridiculous???!!! Noem being another one.

10. anti-rich protests

In Venice, where canals softly gleam,
Bezos had planned a grand dream.
But protests took flight—
He fled in the night,
While locals cheered on their bold team!
