Who could possibly have seen that coming?

A totally unexpected and disinterested move, should we say! She is really committed to her country.

Quote from Splinter

Macri has decided not to stand in the October elections,

I always thought he was too 'normal' for the job. He had no chance to sort this country's problems out. Best left to those who are daft enough to do it.

As long as “normal” candidates don’t want the job, UK Man , what chance is there that anyone will care to sort out the country’s problems?

As old as civilization, er western civilization.

Well, it’s as old as Facebook, if not civilization.

AAP’s fact check cries false. Still, it’s humorous, if not actually out of Cicero’s collection of pithy quotes.

Marcus Cicero wrote many pithy quotes - but not the ones in this meme - Australian Associated Press

Roman orator, philosopher and politician Cicero has been credited with a work of "amazing wisdom" being shared on social media.

Yeah, I wasn't there. But damn if it doesn't ring true. But hea , it's the age of alternative facts. Thank you Orwell! I wrote a check to the DNC(political party) once in the 1980's, like the chronic smartass I am. .57 cents, the other time I wrote them back and asked them to donate me some dough.

No chance. 😁

Macri's cousin Jorge to be the candidate for Mayor in CABA?

Thats the rumour flying about tonight.

What's the opinion of libertarian Javier Milei? And I thought the politicians in norteville were oleaginous, I feel for you Argentinians. That's not baccy ladies and gentleman.

Milei

All I will say at the moment is that he is a free thinker.

My husband adores him. I don't personally like him as a politician but this country needs a polarizing figure to be shaken off from the current state of affairs. Macri was a white dot on a white wall. Bullrich is a former montonera and Peronist, too much of a change of political ideas. It seems she is just filling an acting vacancy.

Larreta is also not a polarizing figure and here in CABA he has as many detractors among non-peronists as he does among peronists.

Milei also seems to be the only one who has economic ideas that are modern and beyond the "broken tune" that Argentina has been playing for the last 50 decades. At least he has the skills and knowledge to really revolutionize Argentina's economy. I'd love for him to have a chance to as I believe that if people see the benefit of economic freedom (for individuals), they won't vote to return back to where we are.

The current government has a dollar Malbec in the talks... most of their electorate do not even know what a dollar is worth. Meanwhile, they make profits off of it and steal shamelessly, manipulate data, lie to the people etc.

This sits well with their electorate as they are barely literate and with no access to foreign media.

Thank you. Clarification helps. Unfortunately we have a large and growing class of semi literate citizens. They don't read, the get their worldview from MSM, opinion is fact, with no critical thinking. ADHD is growing amongst the younger generations. I consider myself educated and well read and I don't have a firm grasp on liquidity or derivatives, but the ARS peso holy moly. IMF, BIS.....acronyms flying out a monkeys butt. I digress.

Just realised who he is. Serious question....is that a wig he wears?

Not a wig, but I suspect his barber went to the same school as Donald Trump's barber...
