1. Looks like a hit and run, doesn't it? Smash and grab? Wow. It makes one's head spin.

I did notice right a way, the woman in the meeting is wearing clothing almost the color of the table, with long parallel lines, like the table. That was interesting!

That reminds me I heard Carol Burnett say, once, in a conversation, that Tim Conway and his wife remodeled their living room, had plaid material lining the walls, then, some nice plaid furniture of the same colors and pattern, and they had clothes made for themselves of the nice plaid in the same color and design, and they invited Carol and others from the show over to see their new living room, and they wore their nice living room suits for the occasion. Carol Burnett said the guests took one look at it and couldn't stop laughing for a very long time, and they went to a lot of trouble to surprise their guests with that prank.

It would have been too cool to witness!

Can't believe after doing so much damage to not only the country's foreign debt, driving people out of business, driving many people into bankruptcy, destroying so many jobs, ruining so many lives, "making the economy scream," as Richard M. Nixon would describe it, now Macri and company will just slide back and let the whole load come crashing down on the next President. All in 4 years. Sounds possibly just as bad as what Nixon did to Allende in Chile.

Amazing, sandensea. Thanks for the latest, by all means. We need to know, and we usually just don't hear about I

Earlier, read this article regarding Cristina in a Wiki on her Presidency, saw the following info. which was very interesting:

In March 2010 Fernández made an historic amends trip to Peru a country with whom relations had been adversely affected following the Carlos Menem administration's illegal sale of weapons to Ecuador in the 1990s.[58] In the same month Fernández received the visit of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Buenos Aires, where she received great support for the way her administration was managing the foreign debt issue [59] and emphasized the positive relationship between the two countries[60] something which was not reported by local major news media [61]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_Cristina_Fern%C3%A1ndez_de_Kirchner

It also wasn't mentioned in any of the US "news" sources. Isn't that not-so-unexpected?

Had been remembering at various times how the agriculture producers seemed to be at war with Cristina from the first. In the same Wiki. article, it said " Kirchner called on farmers to act "as part of a country, not as owners of a country."[21]" Also remember that Clarín waged war on her every day she was in office, too. All those fascists were hounding her day and night, so she wasn't really a stranger to persecution by the time Macri's mob took over directly and conducted a more conspicuous war on her after that. All of them hard-right greedy reactionaries. What a mess.

Hope the next President will get a chance to overcome the hell Macri has designed for him, to drag him down far enough they can make him look like a failure long enough he won't be able to get anything important done, so they can then beat him down and slime their way back into office!

This Fernández will probably have the full support of a great many people coming in, however, and fewer women-haters trying to attack this progressive president than hounded Cristina.

Thanks for the information concerning shifting the heavy lifting to the good President who will be trying to put things back together.
