Alternative titles: The OTHER Ameripol Thread; The South of the Border Wall Politics Thread; Everyone Forgets About This Thread
Anyway, before anything else the rules:
-Don't break forum rules.
-Don't attempt to start flame wars.
-Don't do personal attacks.
-Don't condone atrocities.
-Snip quote pyramids since the forum tends to act up when big ones are created. Also we're not Aztecs, come on.
-Try to keep the discussion about politics.
-Goofing around, as long as it doesn't cross over to being offensive, is ok.
-America is a continent.

Links to other polithreads: Glorious DPRK, USA, Middle East, East Europe, European Union, East Asia, Australia and more Asia.

Discussing historical events is ok, as are current ones. If things start to heat up, I WILL lock the thread for a while until everyone becomes chill again. Please, let's not get the thread locked like the various Europol threads of yore. Ideological derails are also OK as long as people remain civil.

There was some massive wall here but fuck it nobody read it anyway. LAmerica best America.

You forgot my East Asia thread. 

(Which is totes okay, I forget it too for the most part.)

Shush. We've always been at war with Eastasia. There's no more to discuss in that regard

I thought there was one, but I couldn't find it so I thought it got deleted by the Toad for some reason or other. Link up there, in case people care.

Gracias. (And yes, I know...that's Spanish, not Portuguese. I never has into Portuguese.)

[Shadowlord]

Now Canada's going to feel left out 

[Magistrum]

Thanks for acknowledging that we speak Portuguese in Brazil... I mean, it's only in America that you think that. Really. I have never spoken to a single Japanese, Russian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, British, German or Swedish that thought we spoke Spanish... What is wrong with America? Are the schools that bad? Come on, Brazil is gigantic.

Anyways, would like to comment that, while it has some political affiliations, our media is very reputable. Omission may happen, but lies are not to be told.

[RedKing]

Meh, I think it's just a "everyone to the South speaks Spanish" generalization, reinforced by the fact that relatively few Brazilians migrate to the US, compared to all the other Central and South American nationalities that do speak Spanish.

I'm sure all the Olympics coverage this summer will constantly point out this "fun fact" about Brazil.

Speaking of which, how is the impending Olympics being viewed in Brazil? I've heard it's been unpopular in areas that have been heavily impacted by the construction.

Greetings from Chile ,we have massive rises in violent crime, communist spawned again to go on riots and we also got hostile mentally retarded pyromaniacs on the south,yet the government refuses to call it terrorism,even if they burn farms and murder.

Why when we get socialists they always become comunists and destroy any development we have manages to slowly gain?

Cañada. Problem solved.

With some dredging, I believe this is the most recent Latin American mega-thread.  So, without further ado: Cuba's Fidel Castro, former president, dies aged 90.  It was confirmed by Cuban state television, but no further information at the time of the announcement.

He survived hundreds of assassination attempts... but he was powerless before the wrath of 2016.

RIP, hopefully things will be better for Cubans after his departure.

[ChairmanPoo]

He had been retired from active politics for the last 8 years

[Sergarr]

Wasn't he, like, the last Cold War politician that was still alive? At least, the last prominent one.

[Harry Baldman]

Gorbachev is still kicking if he counts, as is Jimmy Carter, Henry Kissinger and a whole bunch of other names.
