I want to watch this again, too.

Unsettling, yes?

I love that the female lead has comical snaggle teeth instead of the perfect teeth normally dictated by Hollywood.

I’m very skeptical that Hitler settled in Bariloche. But I’m interested in reading the declassified files on the Nazis who did seek refuge in Argentina.

Amateur Hour at the Dept of Defense.

That this happened is horrendous. Hearing the denials and excuses from the Best and Brightest tests our ability to ever believe another word they say.

Apparently experience IS important.

Rudy Giuliani also enjoyed dressing as a woman. What’s with these high-profile female impersonators?

Gorgeous!

That’s a man, right?

Make no mistake: Marco “yes man” Rubio makes NO decisions. He’s just Putin’s Puppet’s puppet.

People who know the current president say that everything he says is a projection or a confession. This could be both.

Congratulations! Best luck on your move. Sorry to see you go - - we hardly knew ye’!

Interesting.

That’s the first time I’ve seen her on video.

Was she highly political like Eva, or did she simply allow her husband to elevate her to the vice presidency in order to keep the power all in the family?

Her lengthy house arrest seems almost superfluous. But given the bloodthirsty military who overthrew her, I’m surprised they didn’t simply push her out of the helicopter on the night of the coup.

A defining characteristic of Valley Girl talk.

National Gaucho Day looks like a great celebration!

At age 28, she really should have understood the prohibition against paid or unpaid work with a tourist visa. But surely she shouldn’t have been harshly treated. A detainment center? Really??

I was in my early 20’s the first time I entered England on a tourist visa. Before allowing me entry, the officer at the immigration desk very fiercely reminded me that I wasn’t allowed to do even volunteer work. Although I was rather offended by his attitude and tone, I didn’t forget his admonition.

When tourism drops in the USA, perhaps our border officials will learn to be more diplomatic when dealing with a situation like this one.

aficionado , what an interesting article! I was unaware of the term “vocal fry.”

I wonder if there’s a name for the trendy cadence of many young journalists? It’s a sort of rush through a bunch of words, with an abrupt stop mid-sentence, then a rush through another sentence fragment. It is so annoying and distracting that I can’t listen to certain NYT podcasts.

If it happens in the next few years, I’m pretty sure the way it will be handled in the USA is to simply let people die.

You’re right, aficionado . Like, TOTALLY.
