I think this is because most expats are not literate in the nuances of Latin American politics, and tend to view things through the lens of their politics in their home country. Bolsonaro makes an easy target because the threat of an individual authoritarian leader makes sense to them more than...

Why don't you just buy an apartment abroad and bring it with you to Buenos Aires? Might simplify things.

"The Chinaman is not the issue, here."

Was this specofically a phone conversation? Anything short of recording a phone conversation (which is illegal almost everywhere) is fair game. Look at how many conversations recorded in public are on youtube. One of the reasons I'm single at the moment is because my ex used to ambush me with...

Corruption and bribery are so instututionalized and normalized in US politics through the lobbying system and after Citizens United that it would take a lot of effort for a politician to actually break the law. The legal definition of corruption has become so narrow that even Trump and his...

No they weren't. To be "proved" one way or the other there would have to be an actual investigation by the authorities, which there wasn't. That's why they're "allegations." A NYT article, or a Bill Maher rant attacking Tara Reade's character is not the same as proving the allegations false...

The only political prisoners I see are the vowels o and a.

The Democrats have lost seats in the House in more than one election cycle on her watch, most recently last month. Her endorsement has also become toxic. Look at what it did for Joe Kennedy III who she pushed to run (and lose) in the Senate againt another Democrat for no reason at all other than...

The only thing I see wrong there is the bad spelling.

I remember when the Tara Reade sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden first came out, some woke Democrats in the media were arguing that it shouldn't matter because Trump has still had more sexual assault allegations than him.

Delta resumed flights this month but the prices range drastically, depending on destination and flight date. For instance, it was like $1200USD to PHX but only like $460 to Las Vegas (where I'm going in a couple of weeks), slightly more to LAX. I was living in Cambridge this time last year...

Isn't that a hemorrhoid remedy?

That's a very privileged perspective you have there.

Wall St. voted for her. Literally nobody likes this person except the DNC leadership because of her fundraising power. She's basically Mitch with botox and a thousand dollar haircut.

Thanks a bunch. I'm leaving before the end of the year. I'm still amazed (but shouldn't be) that the govt hasn't issued a specific policy since the start of lockdown when literally every other country in the region has either indefinitely waved overstay penalties or make it simple to pay the...

By any chance, has there been an update on the 30 days extensions for those of us on long-expired tourist visas? I'm planning on flying out in a couple of weeks and I'm still not clear if I need to pay the fine before leaving.

Trump could have tried a little harder and issued an exectuive order perhaps, but I do agree that most of the blame goes to Pelosi who simply didn't want to give him any wins before the election. She wouldn't even let it come up for a vote. There's a reason she has the secord worst approval...

Argentinas top trading partners are Brazil, Australia, China, and the US. I wouldn't consider any of them "skint."

I can similarly assert with 100% certainty that Santa Claus is real. My proof? I saw him at the mall.
