'They're sending tax dollars to Argentina because that's where they'll all flee when we kick them out of office'

Good to know the rail of Argentina is being fully funded while our projects domestically get defunded lol

Russ Vought @russvought
$2.1 billion in Chicago infrastructure projects--specifically the Red Line Extension and the Red and Purple Modernization Project--have been put on hold to ensure funding is not flowing via race-based contracting.

Ron Wyden @RonWyden
They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

1. Just watched a thing on tv about a mansion in Argentina supposed to be Hitlers after the war.

I wonder if Trumps goons are set up there. 😆😆😆😆 interesting thought.

[surfered]

2. Yes

[calimary]

3. Indeed!

4. What's worse: None of that bailout will go to "Argentine infrastructure" (which Milei has cravenly neglected)

It will go to the same uses most other bailout/loan monies for right-wing Argentine regimes, over the past 45 years, have gone to:

To finance the dollarization and offshoring of peso assets by both local elites and foreign fly-by-night speculators - such as J.P. Morgan and (guess what?) Scott Bessent.

(who also reportedly keeps a mistress down there, by the way)

5. Per Wikipedia, among other sources, Bessent is openly gay.

He is married to his male partner.

I’m not a Bessent fan. It’s just that I read that he is openly gay a while ago, was surprised given this administration’s positions and I thought I’d let you know. I also realize that married gay men have extramarital affairs, too, so that’s not out of the question either.

ON EDIT: Apologies. This was meant to be in response to peppertree.

10. Ah - a lover, then

I'm fluent in Spanish - but what I heard from Argentine news (besides his reported Argentine investments) as "una amante" might've in fact been "un amante."

It sounds the same, if you say it quickly enough - and people from Buenos Aires do tend to speak so quickly.

In any case - gracias.

It is what it is.

6. I would bet a Mossad-style American hit squad

would be happy to head south and make certain they don't get to enjoy the fruits of their crimes.

7. Ratline--just like the Nazis.

8. Funny, thats where all the nazis fled last time...nt

[peppertree]

11. Not all. Remember that quite a few (up to 10,000) were ferreted into the U.S. by the CIA

Many of them war criminals and psy-ops fiends - like Otto von Bolschwing, whom some scholars believe to be the ideological father of the GOP's fascist turn since the 1960s.

His protégée, Helena von Dam (what a name), was later Reagan's secretary as governor and during part of his presidency.

I knew a few of the descendants of the Nazis hidden away in thr Carlsbad-Escondido, CA, area - where as recently as the 2000s, some antique stores there looked like Third Reich museums.

All rabid Republicans, not surprisingly. And one of them was actually a nice guy (he later moved to Idaho to "escape socialist California," so I gathered).

Probably missed out on $1 million+ equity, poor guy.

Qué será.
