Argentina celebrates Bicentennial amid repression and recession.

[Judi Lynn]

1. Such good journalism. Tiempo may have to start publishing from Chile, or Bolivia fairly soon.

They are so professional, so focused.

I love this article. The writer doesn't seem to be quaking in his or her boots, either, in fear of what's going on there. That will only drive these fascists insane.

Probably visits from the Patriotic League in store. Surely hope not, but fascists are complete control freaks, aren't they?

The article is done so well it is easier for outsiders to feel a little informed, as if they are really sharing important points of this takeover, and its hideous effect.

What must be happening to day-to-day life for people without money to fall back on has to be terrifying. They can't take too much more of that. I'm certain right now they are keeping their houses much colder than what is comfortable. Cannot believe the immediate difference in their cost of living now.

Sounds like a fascist heaven. He has a thick, thick layer of support he has apparently been building for years before he wormed his way into the presidency. Cronies everywhere. Professional a-holes.

It would have been funny, had Macri had his gendarmes strip the oranges away, to have a passing airliner above drop a frozen package of sewage on Macri as it passed over. I would think if there were a healthy press allowed in Argentina now, there would be some great political cartoons featuring oranges for a day or two.

Thank you for this wonderful article. It's outstanding. Interesting enough, useful enough to be read again.
