I can imagine Milei calling Biden up and him saying how proud Argentina would be to support Israel. Argentina is ready, willing, and able to do something bold.

“IVF is the thing where the man can’t do the thing and the woman can’t do the thing without the man so then a scientist - very, very smart - makes the thing happen. So - baby. In a test tube maybe. But baby.”
I wish this resulted in at least a few de facto cops getting fired or demoted. But instead of that the LAPD might ask for some insane amount like $50m to “harden computer systems against cybercriminals and cyber-attacks” and then get the money and give it to the firm of somebody’s brother-in-law.
