People are saying the original writer was... Amoedo from Novo?!

It's from a guy called Paulo Portinho who ran for vereador (don't know how to say it in english) by Novo

It's a text he wrote in his facebook and somehow got to bolsonaro and he decided to share it.

It's really weird cause basically the text say that he lost, his government is a failure (because he is this just honest anti stablishment loner fighting he old corrupt politics and corporations, exactly like Trump)

edit: there is the possibility that Bolsonaro read it and just liked because it praises him as a hero and he is dumb as gently caress and decided to share it

so Bolsonaro made some changes to his catchphrase in the US, by saying Brazil and United States above all. Such a shameful display of submissiveness

Oh, it was dumber, it was USA above everything, Brazil above everyone. It's not even going for parity.

Also I saw Novo described as PSL Personalitte and that's spot on.

Yeah, Bolsonaro probably read it, thought it was praising him while completely ignoring the part where he is described as a failure. He might very well be the dumbest head of state Brazil has ever had, but still, welcome to #theresistance, Bolsominions.

i read an article saying the government is having trouble finding foreign investment, mainly cause bolsanaro is a twat

any truth?

Bolsonaro being a twat is part of it, federal government being a mess also doesn't inspire confidence for investors.

Even if Brazil had a sane government, the big foreign investors (US, Europe and China) have their own economic problems to tackle and Brazil is an expensive country to invest in if you're trying to get into Latin America. Bostonaro's entire economic plan is to destroy the public pension system (because that will inspire investor confidence for reasons), sell state assets and open the country to foreign markets, it is just not the season for it, even if said plan wasn't dumb as hell. Expecting that any foreign investor would want to put money into developing Brazil is incredibly naïve, they just want this country as a resource extraction colony and market for their technological products, always did, always will, it is the sort of approach that only serves to strangle local industry. The natural conclusion of full laissez-faire in the 3rd world is a minimal state that serves as a cop for foreign companies and their assets over a pile of miserable people desperate to be cheap labour.

I still think that President Dumbass just saw the opening paragraph of that piece saying he's a "gift" and that the system is bad and passed it along after getting it from one of his moist sons, but gently caress if it didn't have an effect. Feels like the domino has finally been tipped and it's knocking others down.

Even the libertarian trolls from MBL are coughing into their hands and leaving the boat. Bot services are trying to lift tags supporting the president but no one ther heavy hitters are stepping in.

Apparently there's going to be a pro-government demonstration on the 26th, which promises to be funny.

At the same time, he actually might be expecting The People (the bolsonaristas) to go out on the streets to defend their president, putting pressure on the congress and STF to do what he wants

I dont see that happening, though. Maybe if MBL and the likes called it, but the opposite seems to be happening: MBL seems to be getting ready to jump out of the Bolsonaro boat

Dancing the impechment dance

edit: as expected, Bolsonaro is already denying it meant anything:

he shared it making it very clear that it explains actions that he's about to do. he says "read this if you want to be ahead of the facts"

kinda scary since the letter says that regular democracy is not working

It's not like market-fellating types care to show even a slight appreciation for democracy anymore, though. Up until the 1990s they still felt the need to do that because it was all going their way, but since the oughts it's become kosher to flatly admit that between capitalism and democracy, capitalism will always come first. they say so in respectable op-eds in real media, even.

That the president echoes it is the worrisome part, of course, but then again....look who we're talking about. Torture-apologist, dictatorship-defending Bolso, whose clan cheerfully boasts about how it'd only take two soldiers to shut down the Supreme court.

1. Gusttavo Lima has a tailings dam on his estate that's about to break.
2. You can buy an assault rifle but it's a lovely Taurus and there's a long wait.
3. Gini coefficient has never been higher.

Then I closed the tab because that's enough for one day.

well, ask yourself who exactly could have the power to remove him and you got your list of potential successors. the same guys responsible for imprisoning Lula, incidentally. so yes, probably nothing good

butt, it does mean that they're gonna have to employ power directly and openly. and if the Party can actually beat the cops on the streets, there's going to be an opportunity to seize power
