    This. He's joined hands with Macri to get some support in the Legislative. That means a lot of his promises will be discarded by his 'allies', probably in the name of politics being the 'art of the possible'. That being said, things will be hilarious for a while.

    Yeah. In the end, he proved to be a backbencher that got elected above his competence. And because of that, I don't think I'll live to see things change for the better.

    Not that it would mean anything; Bolsonaro is being kept alive politically so that the Brazilian swamp can redirect his electorate to a candidate they approve. Bolsonaro is OK with this because he fucked up so much, in all political aspects, that the only things he's doing right now are: 1) try...

    Eh, that's more for practical than ideological reasons(although there are plenty of those as well): I hear Argentina's dollar reserves are dangerously low.

    Agreed. He was just warming the seat for her.

    It was... hilarious. Brought much joy to me while I was interned at the hospital this week.

    More news from the Cristina Kirchener 'murder attempt': the police 'accidentally' deleted data from the perpetrator's cell phone while trying to unblock it.

    Not the one addressed, but my understanding is Fernandez is either a patsy of hers or in full agreement with her objectives. My guess it's a bid for sympathy, since a prosecutor is on the prowl to arrest her.

    The guy points a gun to her head, shoots(you can hear the hammer in some videos), and nothing happens. She spends the next few minutes signing autographs. Yeah, right. The guy was said to be 'Brazilian' - born in Brazil to Argentinian and Chilean parents, went to Argentina when he was 6. Of...

    They can't, because they have already spent their credibility by 1983, and have been deliberately shat on for more than 2 decades now.

    Conservatives? The best they have been able to come up with was a milquetoast centrist(Macri), who got shafted by his(majorly leftist) Legislative at every step, until a Kírchener sockpuppet got in. Argentina is going Venezuela's way, and it'll be damn hard to do anything about it.
