Argentine President Javier Milei Wednesday warned global leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that the Western civilization was in peril as it was plunging into socialism and neomarxism. His remarks drew mixed reactions: While his Libertarian followers were elated to hear him say that there, others could simply not believe their ears, some of them through an interpreter because Milei spoke in Spanish.

    Soon Milei will institute the return of slavery.

    In fact, with the advent of the Minimum State there will be no way to monitor companies and entrepreneurs, and then, naturally, slavery will spread in all corners of Argentine society.

    Back to the 17th century!

    You seem to be frightened by Milei, as the liberal media is also are actually now controlling the media with nonsense...

    Consider this actual video by Jimmy Dore yesterday, who calls out the hysterical reaction of Trump winning the Iowa election...

    You perhaps consider retracting your comment about slavery...

    A refreshing change when dealing with Argentina.

    Geeeeeeeee...

    - Agie President Milei's “inspired” anti-socialist/anti-colectivist/anti-cooperativist discourse must have..., most certainly..., provoked great shame..., deep regret..., profound self examination and abyssal introspective soul searching on all the Scandinavian participants present at the Davos meeting...!

    - Those tall, blonde Neo-Communist Viking Bolsheviks are directly responsible and accountable for all the miseries inflicted to the poor..., ignorant..., hungry and opressed peoples of Scandinavia during the last ~100 years....

    - Just look at the picture of this miserable, wretched little boy in central Stockholm...! Forced to fish some edible trash from the polluted river flowing right by the corrupt Communist King's Palace...!

    - How deranged..., idiocratic and full of the contrary to fresh air must a person be to stand in front of the Worlds Absolute Power Elite and embarrass himself and his Country by starting his presentation uttering a Giant lie about Argentina having been the WORLDS NUMBER ONE (1) STRONGEST ECONOMY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 20th CENTURY and being today at the very bottom..., in PLACE 140th...!

    (Real Data..., for eventual Anglo Turnips and Milicos Despistados reading this...:

    First I looked up your wine recommend, Ribera del Duero Flor de Pingus. Very impressive!

    Also, I realized that your country is not as failed, as Milei reported, the truth is Argentina has squandered it's wealth in the past 50 years!

    Zaphod Beeblebrox's post-link is excellent!

    Also Milei's assessment is my opinion about how your nation breaks away from it's from complete disaster...

    At least Milei is trying something different, as opposed to the usual tax and spend, borrow and spend then print and spend and wonder why hyperinflation sets in, then default.

    Time will tell if his policies work or not, or how well, however difficult to see how it can make things any worse than they already are for Argentinians stuck in Argentina, unable to make a ‘boat trip’ to the west somewhere to escape the endemic poverty.

    Face it, rich champagne socialist Argys are living the high life eating squashed duck (AKA RoadKill) in Posh Paris restaurants.

    “I do believe Trump will win the election...”

    “Trump alleges he was not an ”officer of the U.S.“ as president”

    ”In the case of K&D LLC v. Trump Old Post Office, LLC, 951 F. 3d 503, President Trump successfully argued that the U.S. President qualifies as an Officer of the United States, citing 28 U.S.C. § 1442(a)(1). The court's agreed, stating this statute permitted President Trump, in his capacity as an “officer... of the United States”, to remove the state suit relating to duties of his office to federal court.”

    Everyone is very impressed with Skippy's interpretation of the USA constitution...

    ...at least as his other ignorance and dishonorable theft of a deceased RAF Airman who served during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis...

    I fully expect Trump to win the election in November!

    ”Malignant traits you may have seen:

    demands validation

    evil tendencies – straddle the line that other types of narcissists only touch

    dangerous – more so than other types as they are more calculated in planning attacks

    more likely to have criminal charges brought up against their victim(s)

    master of all skills – unlike the other types of narcissists, they learn from their efforts. They test a strategy, evaluate its success, and then look for additional ways to serve up endless abuse.“

    Skippy Jessop continues his obvious lies...

    Do the simple math, a qualified RAF Airman in 1962 would have been born approximately in 1944 or earlier...

    ...and I do expect Trump to win the election in November...

    Meanwhile our motley gypsy clan just finished a marvelous asada at our family, with grilled pork ribs and our farm garden bountiful harvest. Including tree ripe plums and nectarines.

    Iced cold lemonade and a '93 Merlot were wonderful...

    The only liar here is you since Skippy can't respond since he was never here, and your not all here.
    No proof, No truth.

    The person that holds the office of POTUS is an officer by any ordinary meaniing of the words.

    “office

    a position of authority or service, typically one of a public nature.
    tenure of an official position, especially a government position.

    officer

    a holder of a public, civil, or ecclesiastical office.
    a holder of a post in a society, company, or other organization,
    especially one who is involved at a senior level in its management.”

    I'm greatly enjoying my early morning coffee and Skippy's schadenfreude today.

    It's amusing that his blind ignorance does not reflect the current sentiment of key electoral voters in swing states.

    Anyway, I'm pleased that Trump will regain his office in this November.

    When our gypsy clan awake for breakfast, I look forward to our wonderful Sunday.

    “Skippy's schadenfreude”

    An impossibility as he never been here, but schadenfreude is absolutely you, as I you use it frequently.

    “Study by US Varsity Finds Schadenfreude, Narcissism Among Many Dark Traits of Internet Trolls

    Researchers at Brigham Young University published a paper in the Journal of Social Media and Society shedding light on the motives and personality characteristics of internet trolls. For their study, the group of researchers ran an online survey on 400 Reddit users. Concluding the survey results, the researchers found that most of the trolls exhibited dark triad personality traits which include narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, combined with schadenfreude which is a German word for those who derive pleasure from another’s misfortune. People with these behavioural traits were most likely to be online trolls.”

    “Is Schadenfreude a F?

    ”Frequent schadenfreude can indicate a mental health condition

    Why do I feel good when others fail?
    Let’s focus on its benefits: it makes you feel good when you are feeling inferior;

    What abuse causes narcissism?

    The development of narcissistic traits is in many cases, a consequence of neglect or excessive appraisal. In some cases, this pathological self-structure arises under childhood conditions of inadequate warmth, approval and excessive idealization, where
    parents do not see or accept the child as they are.

    To all MP contributers:

    This thread has been very disappointing due Skippy's long pathetic diatribes...

    ... therefore I'm taking a break from the discourse to concentrate on farming and our motley gypsy clan...

    I do sincerely think Trump is currently the winner of the November election if Biden is the Democrat choice.
