I think the same thing about most mainstream media these days. They are all corrupted. All of them have gone down hill. Most have some agenda....

Very true. Not just NYT and print but outlets like CNN are just garbage now.
Man Milei really shot himself in the foot. Now all I read about on tons of different sites is how Milei is a scammer. This was in NY Magazine. He went from being a hero to a thief really quickly.
I just read that he is illegally trying to appoint shady Supreme Court nominees without going through Congress. And the nominee is very shady. Things sound like they are deteriorating quickly for Milei. Almost everything I see in the press is negative about him now. Things sure went off track quickly.

What Milei is doing with the Supreme Court judge is wrong and illegal. Unfortunately we are seeing that Milei is just a part of the caste. I thought this time was different but he is maybe worse than Cristina.

Well even Macri is saying this is wrong. I doubt they can make it work. Macri tried the same thing before having to back track.What Milei is doing with the Supreme Court judge is wrong and illegal. Unfortunately we are seeing that Milei is just a part of the caste. I thought this time was different but he is maybe worse than Cristina.

PRO says it won’t support Milei’s Supreme Court push
Former president Mauricio Macri – who in 2015 attempted to impose Supreme Court justices by decree before backtracking – says his PRO party will not support appointment by decree.

I think Milei is just trying to change the narrative with the Libra scandal. Maybe he thinks this Supreme Court move is one way to distract but just think he is stacking up loss after loss lately. I am not sure this Libra scandal will go away easily. I wonder what happens once the lawsuits make their way to the courts?

Dude nothing is going to happen to Milei. Look at Trump promoting all of these shitcoins. He left out Bitcoin. We are at peak WTF moment now.
All these guys are crooked. These guys will keep it going. Too much money to make rug pulling people.

Why is he grouping all of those sketchy crypto tokens in? He did come out and also say BTC too. But there is probably going to be so much money made pumping these coins and probably cash will be funneled back to these politicians. Nothing will happen to Milei because they are doing the same thing. Trump is more discreet about it how he does it.

I don't think people really care about this. After all you had Cristian robbing them. Blatantly stealing tens of millions from Argentina's citizens and they still supported her. In comparison to what Milei did most don't care. Most Argentines know all these politicians are crooks. Milei and his sister aren't any different. Argentina is messed up like this.

The first person to resign over the scandal. I don't think it would be a big deal unless they can prove a paper trail to Karina. But it sounds like people are quitting now.
