Rough math is every American, rich or poor, old or young, is giving Argentina $100.

    That doesn't even account for China buying all future soybeans from Argentina instead of us. Massive economic impact, even if you never interact with a farm in your lifetime...

    If Trump starts insulting the banks and trying to impose control on them that would be a sight to see.

    If you can bully banks into giving Argentina $40 billion for nothing, then the whole world's financial system seems to come into question.

    Lol ehat? Banks have been giving loans to Trump although he was deadass broke. If you still believe into any kind of integrity or logic in the world's financial system, you're in for a rough awakening.

    Russian ones, sure. They gladly fund a willing ass hat if it means the ruin of the US.

    No, he was using Deutsche Bank, the world's dirtiest bank, for years. His money-laundering activities with Russian mobsters came to light when Deutsche Bank was investigated in the 90s. I was surprised he wasn't arrested back then.

    That's why his whining about Comey "spying" on him is such bullshit. The FBI wasn't spying on him, they were investigating a known international criminal with extensive ties to Russian mobsters, which is literally their job.

    I wouldn't lend Trump $40B either. Dude's already been convicted of 34 counts of loan fraud.

    SCOTUS said POTUS is immune for official acts.

    I'm sure there's no conflict of interest involved with that or anything, though. And besides, what could go wrong?

    Well, you see the first step is you just refuse to seat an appointment by the president so you can place the choice of your president after the fact, and claim, we should wait until the election is over.

    Then, when your president is in power and the exact same fucking situation happens again with an appointment during an election, you do your best Nelson hahah, and appoint her anyway.

    also the 40bn is meant to bailout some bessenets former associates who invested poorly in ARGENTINA, not the argentinan people.

    1c. Let me start over
    1c-a. The pitcher is not allowed to do a motion to the, uh, batter, that prohibits the batter from doing, you know, just trying to hit the ball. You can't do that.
    1c-b. Once the pitcher is in the stretch, he can't be over here and say to the runner, like, "I'm gonna get ya! I'm gonna tag you out! You better watch your butt!" and then just be like he didn't even do that.
    1c-b(1). Like, if you're about to pitch and then don't pitch, you have to still pitch. You cannot not pitch. Does that make any sense?
    1c-b(2). You gotta be, throwing motion of the ball, and then, until you just throw it.

    I can see the future.

    The left isn't capable of stopping trump, but somewhere in his future a disenfranchised right-wing nutjob has his number.

    It was never the Russians who had Trump by the balls, it has been the Nazis all along?
