Yea, because it's done so well for us in the US having lax gun laws, right?

  • Wants to freeze relationships with China, Russia, Brazil because they're communists.

Umm, someone has no idea what communism is..

  • Against the Pope because he represents evil on Earth, and because it promotes communism which goes against the holy scriptures.

Fucking WHAT 🤣 ok this jackass obviously hasn't read the new testament either. Because Jesus and what he preached was the antithesis of what he stands for.

The former media 'shock jock' commentator has made a series of attacks on the pope, calling him an "imbecile who defends social justice", a "son of a bitch preaching communism" https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/argentine-priests-defend-pope-francis-over-shameful-milei-attacks-2023-09-05/

According to Luke 16:13 Jesus is supposed to have said "You cannot serve both God and money."

Luke 6:29-30 "If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back."

Mark 10:21 "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Whelp, get ready for literally everything to get sold off to pay the IMF. They'll be stripping the wiring from the walls soon.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Official results showed Milei with near 56% versus 44% for his rival, Peronist Economy Minister Sergio Massa, who conceded in a speech.

His plans include shutting the central bank, ditching the peso, and slashing spending, potentially painful reforms that resonated with voters angry at the economic malaise.

"Milei is the new thing, he's a bit of an unknown and it is a little scary, but it's time to turn over a new page," said 31-year-old restaurant worker Cristian as he voted on Sunday.

He will have to deal with the empty coffers of the government and central bank, a creaking $44 billion debt program with the International Monetary Fund, inflation nearing 150% and a dizzying array of capital controls.

"The election marks a profound rupture in the system of political representation in Argentina," said Julio Burdman, director of the consultancy Observatorio Electoral, ahead of the vote.

Supporters of Massa, 51, an experienced political wheeler-dealer, had sought to appeal to voter fears about Milei's volatile character and "chainsaw" plan to cut back the size of the state.

Bitcoin does present a possible solution to the monetary woes of Argentina.

Mileis election signals a growing awareness that central bankers are just scammers and getting off the gold standard was one of the biggest mistakes humanity ever made.

Ahahah. No. Cryptocurrency is for rubes to get rubed, and tying a State’s sovereign fiat money to a commodity belongs in the dustbin of history.
