Post by watt price tully »

If you think Donald Trump is a self centred dangerous narcissistic lunatic who puts himself before anyone else & were taken aback by the incidents of January 6, 2000 elections with the violent attempted insurrection you ain’t seen nothin’ yet:


Bolsanaro is Trump writ worse:

It's my birthday on the 2nd. Bolsonaro getting the flick that day would be a nice present.

Bolsanaro seems like an award winning douche. I don't see it ending well.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

^ Based on my limited understanding of it, most polls had Bolsonaro in the 30s so he exceeded expectations getting 43% of the primary vote.

Whether it's enough to propel him to re-election? Time will tell.

Lula wins 50.9% to 49.1% against Bolsonaro.

The election was closer than what polls expected.
