    @ 1 & 2

    You're both correct.... Apparently Nisman's death has not deterred the judge... Political wrangling's perhaps but we ALL know the Kirchners are up to their eyeballs in graft and corruption...

    JUSTICE FOR NISMAN !!

    Prison for the K's

    they must be beaten at all fronts available, especially at the judicial fronts

    Ha! OK for the K's to raid all sorts of opposition and critics offices but when the worm turns they squeal like stuck pigs... to mix a few metaphors....

    We now know that at least one of the Judiciary has a pair of balls! How long he is for this earth remains to be seen however.

    So Maxximus Prattus is getting closer to the jail cell? GREAT.

    Other good news: Gollum has health problems 'that involve invasive surgery' BUT the bastard will carry out the mandate according to Bogbrush. Perhaps they are going to FIT him with a pair of balls!

    You have to laugh.

    These dirty Ks and their minions need to rot in jail. Wait until they're out of power and see what happens....

    They are correct about it complaining that it comes 17 days before an election. This should of happened a year ago, but the previous judge investigating was on the K payroll and dragged his feet.

    They've got a spare, re-enforced aircraft hangar to squeeze him into then?

    Also the K's own strategy of constant “recusación”(I don't know this word in English) is why Bonadio has only now been free to order the raids on Idea SA and Valle Mitre. So what they are complaining about was brought on by their own lawyers!!!!!!!!!!!

    @9. Why? Is there a certain number of days before an election that the law stops working? What a wonderful idea for criminals. I presume it was brought in to “protect” all the politicians. Must be nice to know you can murder someone but avoid arrest because it's x days before an election.
    @11. In English, it's “recusal”.
    recusal - (law) the disqualification of a judge or jury by reason of prejudice or conflict of interest; a judge can be recused by objections of either party or judges can disqualify themselves

    Does anyone else think that the above photo of Bonadio is remarkably like George Galloway?

    Regarding the foto above, I might add that:

    Prince Maximo is looking resplendently corpulent in a very handsome, anuran manner.

    An update on Gollum and his 'invasive surgery'.

    He is in ITC following a liver section for cancer of the liver no less.

    The surgeon claims the section was successful and no further liver lesions were found!

    Well, I have heard that TWICE before about close members of my family, both male, both about my age and both dead within a few months.

    He may not resign but he won't be working if the other two are anything to go by.

    Now if I were a staunch RCC I might say the god was giving him a lesson before his descent to hell. :o)

    However, as neither exist you could say it was 'bad luck' or 'good luck' depending where you stand.

    There's a certain kind of dirt that just can't be washed away, no matter what kind of shampoo or industrial detergent they try to use.

    If Anglo culture is so superior, why do most scientific, artistic, and philosophical vocabularies of the Germanic languages come from the lousy Italians and the filthy bankrupt Greeks?

    I'm glad you noticed I used one stone to disparage both Latins, Germanics, and Greek EUians.

    The Argentine race has nothing to do with the criminal European race.

    25. The news out of Mendoza is very sad, I just looked at the front page of Los Andes and it shows people living in garbage dumps, hospitals and clinics in collapse, NGOs worrying about the huge increase in poverty, commando assualts and kidnappings, and on and on.
    All really terrible

    It must be so depressing to live there.
    No wonder you lash out at your betters.

    Really?

    What I read that there is controversy over whether people living in certain poor areas deserve social assistance (illegal migrants or just not working or sending children to school), hospitals and clinics have some problems with some expansion projects, and that there is an illegal garbage dump in the area where an avenue will be expanded.

    It must be less depressing to read the newspaper in Mendoza than to read the every day reality of the new USA, the Brazil of North America.

    http://finance.yahoo.com/news/millennials-thriving-financially-one-thing-120100183.html

    “Millions of America’s young people are really struggling financially. Around 30 percent are living with their parents, and many others are coping with stagnant wages, underemployment, and sky-high rent.

    And then there are those who are doing just great—owning a house, buying a car, and consistently putting money away for retirement.

    These, however, are not your run-of-the-mill Millennials. Nope. These Millennials have something very special: rich parents.

    These Millennials have help paying their tuition, meaning they graduate in much better financial shape than their peers who have to self-finance college through a mix of jobs, scholarships, and loans. And then, for the very luckiest, they’ll also get some help with a down payment, making homeownership possible, while it remains mostly unattainable for the vast majority of young adults.”

    In the USA today, only if you have money can you move up. If you don't, you will be poor forever. The New USA capitalists praise so much, rich get richer, poor at the very least stay poor.

    And then Burn Baby Burn rages on too.

    Sad times.

    I've always feared the USA turning into Argentina. It was Odumbo's dream to drag us down to that level.
    It didn't happen though
    and I hope its the last Prog we see for a generation.
    He ruined the brand just like Carter.

    Luckily for me USA citizens aren't as dumb as Rgs.
