Friday

As I recall, the only beneficiaries were Milei and his congresscritters - who "unexpectedly" won the midterms after Cheeto put his fat, Hepatitis-ridden thumb on the scale for them by threatening to "tank the peso" if Argentine's didn't vote for his party.

But here in the U.S. itself, that bailout cost Trump even more approval - and probably several Midwest seats come November.

The good folks in Argentina, Kansas, probably have half a mind to rename their town by now.
