Meanwhile Milei got involved in a major crypto scandal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/$Libra_cryptocurrency_scandal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/$Libra_cryptocurrency_scanda... and nothing really happened to him. I understand those are different circumstances, Milei having no such tech skills, I just find it ironic.

Trump and his wife both did the same thing on day one of his second term. No one cares. At least Milei faced some public outrage, but Trump has a cult that will defend him in literally any circumstances. EDIT: I'm getting downvoted, as expected. Insane that just calling out the president on his crypto-scamming antics can get you anger from the right. I am yet to hear of a single republican even just acknowledging that Trump did something bad.

    The point of austerity and deregulation is to enrich the politicians who push it.

  It's important for the left to consider that many, many of the right did not want trump, they just felt he was better than what the Democrats offered. Let's not debate who is or isnt better but appreciate the fact that when those right wing voters had a choice they preferred this clown over that clown.

    Sorry, no. There is no comparison possible between Harris and Trump. Know that I wouldn't have fancied a boring neoliberal technocrat such as her in the White House, but at this point anything would have been better than the literal criminal sociopath currently residing there. > many, many of the right did not want trump They're awfully silent, if that's the case.

    I think it's relevant enough to tech, legality and justice, you know, the themes of TFA. I'm sorry you're tired of hearing that POTUS is a criminal, it does get old. I'm afraid it won't stop until he faces justice though.
