5. Your summary of the right-wing position on justifying how they handle authority was excellent.

It's a horror actually seeing it up close. Nothing worse can happen to a society.

I reread the article from Vice, and it was even uglier read more closely.

Hard to imagine a person with a grandfather, an uncle and a father all involved in a military dictatorship getting placed in a US State Department at any level. The Top Secret qualification for his ranking defies understanding, and shouldn't be possible. It designates him and everyone connected with the process as suspect, someone who should be investigated immediately.

It also doesn't speak well for Harvard that he was accepted there, since they had to know his direct connections to the people responsible for the mass murders, the suffering which affected so many, many hundreds of thousands of people.

Argentina never recovered, yet, clearly, before the next monster slithered his way into the driver's seat, probably illegally, once the truth is revealed with enough time. He certainly kept control for 4 years illegally.

Now he's trying to grab the reins all over, again. Sure hope it won't work this time for him, or someone he'll throw his weight behind.

It becomes uglier and uglier now, realizing Macri and Trump seized control at roughly similar times, doesn't it?

So glad Vice did the article, too.
