4. The Four Racketeers: Traitor, Snoop, Beast, and Narco.

It says something that Duque is the "nice guy" of the bunch.

Speaking of 'Snoop', Macri has been arraigned - and may soon be charged - in the ongoing spygate scandal.

Remember the film 'The Lives of Others'? This was at least 1,500 politicians (including many Macri allies), journalists, and other influencers under East German-style surveillance for most of Macri's 2015-19 tenure.

Many are calling on the courts to issue an emergency order barring Macri's exit from the country (and others - including his Security Minister Patricia Bullrich, Intelligence head Gustavo "Odebrecht" Arribas, and others).

And they have good reason to: Macri is reportedly pleading with Sultan al-Thani of Qatar (who as host of the 2022 World Cup, has a lot of pull at FIFA) to appoint him to a FIFA post at its Swiss headquarters - to avoid trial in Argentina.

I wonder if Cheeto will try the same thing next year?

"C'mon, Sultan! I've got a great build for soccer!"

"Yes. As the ball."
