He's like a trump that is dead serious, who's not playing a marketing/showman game.

 

[11thEagleFan]

It’s the Pack, I think it’s safe to say that we all follow Argentine politics. Now let’s talk about the recent happenings in Equatorial Guinea.

 

[OopsICroomedmypants]

He has bad hair. Sounds hilarious. Maybe he’s visited San Francisco

 

[Noname.sixpack]

I get the feeling he doesn't like shitbag leftards

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Most of what I know about Argentine politics I learned from reading W.E.B. Griffin novels and Andrew Lloyd Webber…

 

[Dawgs_4_life]

Me. I just started. I like this wild bastard.

Or you could compare to this year’s MAIS football season. **

The libertarian upstarts (Hartfield) defeated the longtime Peronist power structure — dare I say “cabal?” (Jackson Prep). **

 

[Wesson Bulldog]

Isn't sixpackspeak.com the number one unofficial MSU message board in Argentina?

 

[Felonious Junk]

Mstateglfr does but he wouldn’t ever admit it

biggest danger we currently face. people who think Trump isn't dead serious when praising world dictators and might therefore vote for him.

Just this month:

Trump on China's Xi: "He's a fierce person," Trump continued. "Now the press doesn't like it when I say good things about him, but what can I say: he runs 1.4 billion people with an iron hand."

Trump on other dictators:

During his remarks, Trump also spoke favorably of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Hungarian President Viktor Orbán, praising both of them as some of the “strongest leaders” in the world. Later, he bragged about a conversation he once had with Abdul Ghani Baradar, a leader of the Taliban in Afghanistan, boasting that Baradar called him “your excellency.”

“He called me ‘your excellency,’” Trump said. “I wonder if he calls Biden ‘your excellency.’”

Biden has called Putin a “murderous dictator”; he has called Orbán a “thug.” And just the other day called Xi a dictator.

And then his Veteran's Day posts that used phrases and statements, like "vermin," "poisoning the blood," and "threat from within," which bear a remarkable similarity to some quotations and writings attributed to Hitler. However, we should dismiss these either because it's perfectly normal for a madman with a dictatorial penchant to quote Hitler, or if not quoting Hitler, just happen to think the same way...

He's telling us exactly who he is, repeatedly.

Motion to table politics to after coaching change and basketball season. It can become a welcome distraction from what will surely be another shittastic baseball season.

^ This.
Its SPS, the better question is who DOESNT follow Argentine politics?!?***



As for this new guy...well I guess he shows that even if you think its awful, it could always get worse here. 17. I read a comment last week that he has a clone of a dead dog and that clone is someone he confides in?...this isnt rumor, its something he himself has said.
Maybe there was something lost in translation.


I know less about this Argentine guy than I know about Ruffalo.

Action speaks more than words. How many proxy wars are we in now? How many billions have we spent on them. Iran was in check. Russia was in check and China was in check. They feared Trump because he took action. Look at what he did in Syria. Bombed the **** out of them killing Russian pilots. Biden is weak and is perceived as weak and all the worlds bad guys are feeling embolden. The world is on fire. Thing really sucks here in the United States. Biden proves talk is cheap.

Well, I now know what 'tantric sex' is and lamenting the fact I've never been there.

 

[GloryDawg]

No doubt Trump is an *** Hole. Trump is the guy who calls you a nice guy while kicking you in the nuts. Biden is the guy who just stands there and calls you a bad guy after getting kicked in the nuts. Give me Trump this old cognitive impaired fool.

Can someone not disagree with a form of government while also opining that the head of that government is a smart/strong/fierce leader? Or because you disagree with their form of government, you should automatically presume and describe its leader as stupid and weak?

You present a false choice. There are more options than the 2 you listed.

- One option is to not say anything. Just say nothing about highly controversial leaders. Dont fawn over them with praise and also dont poke them with childish insults(N Korea). They are controversial for a reason(many, honestly) and there is no upside to doing either of the things I mentioned.
- Another option is to not describe the leader as stupid and weak, but also not praise them for ruling with an iron hand(since that isnt exactly appealing to almost anyone on either side of the aisle in the US).

Just offering up commentary to show how there are more than just the two approaches you suggested.

Nothing lost in translation there. Last Week Tonight had a bit on him a couple of weeks ago. And they 100% highlighted his relationship with his cloned dog.

I can't find a YT video of it, but if you have HBO it's the October 29, 2023 episode where the primary content is Child Labor in cocoa production.
