Dec 12th, 2014 - 07:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0Biden appears to have his hand around the Marxist and is smiling even more idiotically than usual.
Dec 12th, 2014 - 09:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0Is there something going on between the two of them? He can have my share!
I hope they remembered to give him a map, and a phrase book.
Dec 12th, 2014 - 02:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Does he even know where he is going?
I expect he thinks he is off to Cancun on Spring Break.
Could be in for a nasty surprise...
Lol!
The USA Ambassador's residence is sublime. It will be a great post as long as he doesn't have to deal with Rg very often.
Dec 12th, 2014 - 02:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Anyone in Argentina care?
Dec 12th, 2014 - 03:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 05. Probably ,the 1000s of people that line up daily in front of the USA Embassy to get a visa out of that horrible place.
Dec 12th, 2014 - 03:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I used to go to the Embassy just to watch people cry when their visa was denied.
Then I'd have a nice long lunch.
:)
Funny how you got stuck in the timeline of life somewhere around 17 years ago. Obviously when that happens it means you are well on the downhill of your life, slowly and powerlessly watching the sun start to dim and glow orange
Dec 12th, 2014 - 03:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I on the other hand am seing the sun strengthen and they day just beginning.
I'll mix some Motley Crue and Bon Jovi for you, my washed out fiend.

Toby, Next time you can afford to go to BA (probably never), go see the lines at the USA embassy, they allow 200 people per hour for 6 hours a day.
Dec 12th, 2014 - 03:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think you have to wait at least a month for an appt.
They won't let you in but you can see the people crying as they leave.
The best is when they scream at the gaurds trying to get their application fee back.
Silly Rgs

Are you kidding? No Hernan Figueroa Reyes? No Jorge Cafrune? No Los Chalchaleros? No wonder you are such a mess.
But why would anyone want to leave the Glorious Workers Paradise of Argentina?
Dec 12th, 2014 - 06:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's like North Korea, without the missile parades...

Not even close, these prats don't have any ships that can make it out of the dock without turning over!

Noah Mamet has sworn as new United States ambassador to Argentina ,
Dec 12th, 2014 - 08:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0may someone have mercy on his sole...lol
I hope he has decent bodyguards.... an innocent abroad indeed.
Dec 12th, 2014 - 08:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Although I expect Obama chose him because he CAN'T speak Spanish. It's a clever ploy to avoid listening to the bullshit from KFC and her cronies.
@13
Dec 12th, 2014 - 10:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are right. It was a totally unfair comparison to North Korea. I must apologize.
North Korea doesn't have the massive crime rate, trash-strewn streets, or sprawling rust-and-cardboard shanty towns that Argentina has.
What Argentina doesn't realise, and the rest of the diplomatic world does, is that this is a massive snub.
Dec 13th, 2014 - 02:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0Would the USA send an Ambassador to an IMPORTANT country that
a) couldn't speak the language
b) had never been there before
c) was not a Civil Servant/Government Official
d) wasn't a 'political groupie' who paid his way to buy influence
e) was a political 'nobody' with zero influence
f) that several members of Congress believed he did not have the necessary qualifications for the post
Argentina is being played.
@18
Dec 13th, 2014 - 02:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0I think you will find we played them first. USA is not an important post for Argentine ambassador, thus we sent a minor woman there.
@17
Trash-strewn streets? I sure missed that one. Rust and carboard? I rarely see any of those either. Massive crime rate? No more dangerous than Paris or many areas of London.
Do you just enjoy spewing utter crap or do you just enjoy insulting argentines? And then you wonder why I act the way I do? It's called tit-for-tat, tut.
@19
Dec 13th, 2014 - 02:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yeah but event the bimbo speaks English. You've been downgraded. ;)
Downgraded? Ucumars don't get downgraded.

He has had to resort to insulting himself.
Take a Gold Star, and a platter full of roast Argentine rump.
Full Marks imoyaro!
Top Class effort.
@22
Dec 13th, 2014 - 03:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0Hardly. I am cognizant that for you Anglos it must be a challenge to comprehend it, but learning English is one of the easiest tasks for anyone to assay and subsequently tackle. No declensions, no conjugations, no fixed spelling rules. It would be a major challenge if Anglos truly appreciated their language deeply (and not in gaudy jingoistic gasconades), and excelled in the area that English is superb at: vocabulary. But since you are all at best mediocre in this category as well, then foreigners are not required to learn arcane terminology.
This makes it a language meant for babies to learn in two to three years.
@19
Dec 13th, 2014 - 03:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0OK Tobi, you asked for it so here it is:
First, I'm not going to quote you crime statistics from my country. You know what it is, and if I list it here you'll just go off on a vomit rant about blonde Nazis or some similar racist insult...
So:
Trash-strewn streets: Look out your window. This is what happens when your Whacky Leadership pays unemployed people to not work instead of paying them to clean the streets and tend the parks like we do here...
Crime rate: I looked at the European institute for Crime Prevention (HEUNI). According to their stats, Argentina is tops in all of the Americas for armed robbery, fourth place in homicide. But here is the real kicker: INDEC HAS NOT PROVIDED UPDATES FOR MANY CATEGORIES OF CRIME STATISTICS IN ARGIELAND SINCE 2008!
I'll leave it up to you to figure out why. Maybe they've been too busy writing fairytale stories about the magical mythical Malvinas Land...
And finally, you know very well why I hate Argentina. How many relatives did you lose in the Dirty War?
Fourth in homicide?
Dec 13th, 2014 - 03:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0You are really completely whacked out. Off with you if you believe there are more murders here than in El Salvador, Honduras, Venezuela, Brazil, Mexico, Dominican, Guyana (ex-British btw), Jamaica, Guatemala, Ecuador, etc, etc... and many US cities like Detroit.
Fourth place in homicide. Sure :)
@25
Dec 13th, 2014 - 04:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0OK. Since INDEC is providing the statistics, who knows? Maybe they mixed up the murder rate and the inflation rate? That would explain a few things...
@26
Dec 13th, 2014 - 04:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well at least you have the decency to admit that given the number of countries and places in the Americas that CLEARLY have higher murder rates based on common sense, you are recanting somewhat. It's a start.
One poster down, 2682 to go.
Actually, Argentina is a nice posting for awarding a campaign contributer. Nice residence, rich diplomatic party scene, fun trips to Patagonia for fishing, hunting and snow skiing. He'll never lack for outstanding dining, excellent Malbec and Chandon sparkling wine.
Dec 13th, 2014 - 08:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0In an American Embassy, ALL the work goes to the Consul General and the professional hacks. U
CFK will receive him with a mix of contempt and disgust as he represents a lame duck president who has little interest in her country. Speaking of contempt, If Hillery Clinton becomes the next President, relations will probably decline further with CFK. ...Those two do not like each other...
Arg crime stats are a joke, barely anyone reports anything to the Police because the Police are the ones doing the crime!
Dec 13th, 2014 - 02:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Like many South American nations, Argentina has a problem with violent crime. According to the UN, in 2002, it had the 4th highest rates of manslaughter in the world, behind Mexico, South African and India. The country also had the 15th highest number of crimes reported, with 1.3 million. Despite these figure, however, Argentina has one of the lowest rates of prisoners per capita, with 107 per 100,000 people
http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/profiles/Argentina/Crime
Remember they haven't reported crime rates since 2008. Everyone knows its is exponentially worse in every category over the last 7 years.
They're only a few steps behind Caracas.
@29
Dec 13th, 2014 - 03:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Good point. The USA has 3 million people in Jail, even more than China that has 5 times the population and is a dictatorship! And even like that it is as safe as Argentina.
Imagine if Argentina arrested the criminals, and the USA let them go.
Argentina would be crime free, the USA would be Mogadishu in 1994.
What a disaster of a society those NOrthAmoans.
Toby, What a silly creature you are, do you seriously believe the insanities you write?
Dec 13th, 2014 - 03:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Remember a while back you talking about how great everything was in Argentina? And me telling you don't get used to it?
Have you sold the non-perishables I told you to buy?
I hope not.
Next year is going to be bad and 2016 will be worse,
The Ks are setting the next Prez to fail..and fail spectacularly.
I hope someday you wake up.
I fear you're too nuts to realize the sh*tstorm that's coming your way tho.

One more time Chopper, have you found an Afro-Argentine to stab for the holidays? Only 12 more chopping days until Christmas! ;)
What does that have to do with anything? We arrest criminals. That's what's supposed to happen.
Dec 13th, 2014 - 04:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You have motochorros robbing tourists on camera and don't keep them in jail!
I'd much rather live here where I don't have to live behind 12 foot gates and have armed guards watching me and my property 24 hrs a day.
Your Society is rotten at its very core. It is disgusting.
To have 2% of your population regularly in jail is normal? bahahaha.
Dec 13th, 2014 - 04:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Thank god Argentina is the furtherst away from that place.
So? You have ex murders working for the CFK gov't trotted out when they want to create mayhem in peaceful protests.
Dec 13th, 2014 - 05:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just wait until they don't work for CFK any longer.
That's when the fun will begin!
:)
I kinda doubt he'll be laughing when some Vatayon Militante hard boy shoots him for his shoes. ;)
Dec 13th, 2014 - 07:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He probably has crappy shoes.
Dec 14th, 2014 - 03:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Its the gang raping when he mouths off that he should worry about
Glad I live in dear old Blighty.
