This is the money that could save our American farmers, whom Trump's government actually admits are on the edge of going down.

Crazy or evil? Trump is both. We are getting the horrific national outcomes that were PREDICTED months before the last presidential election. We are getting ALL of them.

Trump doesn't know what he's doing. His solution to the mistakes he's making will be aggression.

So the US cannot afford college loan relief, food stamps, housing assistance, universal health care, etc but it can afford to bailout billionaire investors in Argentina.

The problem isn't that we cannot afford these things, it is that we cannot satiate the greed of the oligarchy.

Tear it all the ---- down.

Some folks are gonna make a fortune off of this.
A whole lot more are going to get ripped off.
Trump knows his farmer constituency has already sold its soul for soybeans.

To any out there thinking about resisting this insanity, do it now while resistance is legal.

Trump's political machinations combined with his perverse incompetence have created the situation where he HAS to seize total control to survive.

There's no rocket science to this. Trump will do what he must not to lose this zero-sum game he's started with his own country. Those who doubt it are in denial or complicit.

Bailout capitalist Argentina and bomb Socialist Venezuela? It's on point for the MIC and the greedy bloodsuckers.

Who will bail us out when Trump's economy implodes?

"Tear it all the ---- down."

This is exactly the response they wanted from you.

Laura- I think Rcade gets tired of banning the same people. It's like whack-a-mole.

Probably the Saudis. Again.

Don't cry for me, Argentina
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Raise your hand if you are happy to see the tariffs you are paying going to propping up a failed state?

#12 | Posted by johnny_hotsauce at 2025-10-16 10:44 AM

This is a dictatorship.
Trump is directly trying to bribe Argentina...all at the expense of Americans!
This is not a national security issue.
This isn't an economic issue for our enrichment.

And the sniveling coward sin the House and Senate GOP will do nothing.
I pray every day for Trumop's death. He will destroy the country completely by 2028 if he doesn't stroke out before then.

While we are at it raise your other hand if you have a valid reason to attack Venezuela.

Will this affect the hundreds of billions we've been sending to the Ukraine or Iran "pallets-o-cash"? (It's a currency swap)

This is not going to play well during the shutdown, not when government employees are going without pay and millions are on the verge of losing their healthcare coverage. Trump appears to be putting the welfare of Argentinians ahead of Americans, all in an attempt to keep Milei in office.

I'm sure that this issue will be revisited during the upcoming mid-term elections, and perhaps even sooner during the various off-year elections being held less than a month from now.

P.S. My wife and I have already voted (we deposited our ballots in a drop-box this past Sunday and we've already been notified that our ballots have been collected, verified and that they will be counted) in California's 'Prop 50' special election.

The disgusting orange rapist is going to Hungary to get a performance review from his boss.

A patriotic American who hates fascist dictator wannabes?
Too bad you aren't the same.

Yes, you need to understand what's at play, a bigger picture.

Melei Argentina is in the western hemisphere, and also a great trading partner with the US. Should socialist become President this all goes to China

Reading Chinese news, they a basically salivating that Argentina can't be helped and will suggest letting China "help" them. Fishing rights will be allowed. If you don't understand the global situation and are playing the jingoistic politics America will lose South America.

As Lee stated Venezuela is already leaning towards China.

#20 | Posted by SpeakSoftly

Please explain how the act is Patriotic, and include how the process of electing a President is faulty to the point the process needs to be ignored in such a manner.

I just don't understand this Lumper attitude.

#22 | Posted by oneironaut at 2025-10-16 03:08 PM

"Bigger picture"?
There's a lot of shady money to be made here.
And you can bet it is being made.
By crooks.
And that who's running the US government, a convicted felon and other bent types.
You really ought to try and make more of an effort to keep up.

Can it be a coincidence that Argentina is where the Nazis fled to after WWII?

#24 | Posted by qcp at 2025-10-16 03:22 PM

Trump doesn't know what he's doing.

#2 | Posted by Zed

I disagree. I think Trump knows exactly what he's doing, on Putin's behalf.

#13 | Posted by e1g1

First, I think you give Trump far more credit than he deserves for what's going on.

Second, his death alone isn't likely to make much difference. If you cut off the head of this snake, it will simply grow another head.
