No money? Milei earmarked more than $100 million to spy on adversaries and attack Venezuela (fusernews.com)

The president of Argentina, the ultra-right-wing Javier Milei, allocated 100 billion Argentine pesos for the State Intelligence Secretariat (SIDE), which in the month of August registered only two expenses totaling 80 billion pesos.

This exuberant sum, which, quantified in dollars, exceeds 100 million pesos, took place on August 1 and August 12, a period in which the messages from “Argentines” with the word “Venezuela” registered a strange and disproportionate increase, and when the increase of espionage against opponents of his Government due to the discussion of the DNU has been denounced.

“There is no money”, were the words that remained engraved in the conscience of Argentines who have seen how their quality of life has been in accelerated decline as a consequence of the cutback in government spending and the liberalization of prices in the economy, which have resulted in a decrease in purchasing power of more than 30%.

The vassal country is literally following Amerikkka's footsteps.

Get a fucking comb man! Your hair is violating the Non-aggression principle!

If he fixed that Yee-Yee-Ass haircut, maybe he'd get 2 more super models on his micro-noodle

(Note, I don't mean to shame people for their genitalia or it's size, though I understand an apology doesn't fix that)

I think it's the Bojo thing, he's trying to pretend to be working class by giving himself an embarrassing haircut.

[–] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't think it's that. Because Bojo and those who don't despise him hate the working class.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 month ago

That's the story I heard behind the haircut, he still needed working class votes in order to win election.

Bojo?

Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister of the UK. He had a haircut that looked like he'd been attacked by a seagull as an attempt to appear more "down to earth"

Was that why his hair like that? I always assumed he always just did copious amounts of cocaine before public appearances.

[–] big_spoon@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i mean, it's not like i was surprised...i was wondering "what did milei do with all the money he "saved" to the state that he hates so much slashing welfare"?

[–] Addfwyn@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Invested it in chainsaws, obviously.
