This is a lesson followers of Zohran Mamdani should consider

Thursday, October 30, 2025

It is easy to forget that Argentina was once one of the wealthiest countries in the world. In 1913, the average Argentinian had about 80 percent of the income of the average American. It took several generations of socialist politicians to destroy Argentina's wealth. Today. the average Argentinian has about 30 percent of the income of the average American. This is a lesson followers of Zohran Mamdani, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders should consider. If the American big government socialists do for the United States what Juan Peron and the Argentinian socialists did for their country, every American will rapidly become poorer.

It's Trumpism that has made Zohran Mamdani possible.

It's not surprising that you left out all the brutalism and financial disaster of Argentina's fascist years.

That's much, much too close to Donald and MAGA.

Tell me you know NOTHING about Argentinian history without telling me you know NOTHING about Argentinian history.

Montani is gonna win the election. And New Yorkers will be thrilled. But lfthndturds is gonna have a very bad day.

And Lefthandturd doesn't even live in New York.

And so it goes..

Re 5

"Montani" = Mamdani ... . Thx Siri!

Montani is gonna win the election.

Fine by me. I don't have to live with his garbage policies.

The a lesson followers of Zohran Mamdani should consider is that Abraham Lincoln is literally Hitler.

We all know its because you're a racist that you can't say Mamdani's name properly. I certainly have no issue with Siri, or Google S2T.

'Liberals' ain't what they used to be.... intelligent.

We all know..

You and that foreign commie agitator mouse in your pocket?

It was a typo you farging ICEhole.

I am curious. So why did you abandon your own country? China is a beautiful place with many exciting opportunities. Why exactly did you come here?

The a lesson followers of Zohran Mamdani should consider is that Abraham Lincoln is literally Hitler.

Also. What the holy hell does that even mean!?

Are you having some kind of stroke?

- Are you having some kind of stroke?

It would be difficult to tell, right?

If Argentina proves anything, it's that we CANNOT allow Republicans to lead the country.

We get:
1. Loss of an independent central bank
2. Massive deficits
3. Loss in trade and currency credibility

Republicans are turning us into Argentina.

@#1 ... It's Trumpism that has made Zohran Mamdani possible. ...

In some (many?) respects, I agree.

One aspect of the NYC Mayor that is known locally, but does not seem to be known nationally, is that the NYC Mayor needs the approval of the NY Legislature for many of the things he has been proposing.

For example, free bus rides? Well, the MTA in NYC is a state-level entity.

About the MTA
www.mta.info

... The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is North America's largest transportation network, serving a population of 15.3 million people across a 5,000-square-mile travel area surrounding New York City, Long Island, southeastern New York State, and Connecticut. The MTA network comprises the nation's largest bus fleet and more subway and commuter rail cars than all other U.S. transit systems combined. ...

Who we are

... The MTA is governed by a 23-member Board. Voting members are nominated by the governor, New York City's mayor, and the county executives of the counties serving the MTA's service area. ...

@14 ... the county executives of the counties serving the MTA's service area. ...

So, how likely might the county executives in the largely Republican suburban areas served by the MTA look upon Mr Mamdani's free bus ride efforts for NYC?

imo, Mr Mamdani has a hill to climb ...

Newt fuggin Gingrich????

Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

"If the American big government socialists do for the United States what Juan Peron and the Argentinian socialists did for their country, every American will rapidly become poorer."

"Juan Pern and Peronism (1946"1955)
Juan Pern was elected president in 1946, establishing a unique populist and authoritarian system known as Peronism.
Justicialism: Pern's political ideology, Justicialismo, blended elements of socialism and fascism but was distinct from both. His government instituted significant social reforms and nationalized industries, but it also controlled labor unions, restricted constitutional liberties, and repressed opposition.
Post-war refuge: After World War II, Pern's government, seeking skilled professionals, provided refuge to numerous Nazi officials fleeing prosecution in Europe. "

Its sad how Newt has to rewrite history to prop up his laughable comparison.

Who the Fk is stupid enough to STILL listen to Nutty Newty? And even post his garbage?

Oh, wait... nevermind.

@#17 ... "If the American big government socialists do for the United States what Juan Peron and the Argentinian socialists did for their country, every American will rapidly become poorer." ...

Hey, welcome back after a couple-week hiatus.

OK, to your comment, why do Republicans seem to be so concerned that Mr Mamdani might succeed in his promises to voters?

Might it be because it will diminish the power-buying aspect of the oligarchy that Pres Trump has put into place in Washington, D.C.?

And, why the focus upon Argentina, and not, say, a Scandinavian socialist-leaning country?

"If the American big government socialists do for the United States what Juan Peron and the Argentinian socialists did for their country, every American will rapidly become poorer."

The bottom 80% will rapidly become poorer.
The top 20% will continue to get richer.

Trump is hosting CEOs at the newly renovated Rose Garden. (September 2025)
www.aol.com

... On Thursday evening, President Donald Trump will dine with some of the most powerful business leaders in the newly renovated Rose Garden. ...

The dinner is Trump's first official event in the garden since its much-publicized renovation, and it's expected to feature a who's who of CEOs and tech founders. The invite list boasts two dozen business leaders, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

A White House spokesperson confirmed the invitees for the Rose Garden dinner to Business Insider, which was first reported by The Hill.

Musk said later on Thursday that he had been invited to the event, but "unfortunately" could not attend, and that a representative for him would be there. ...
