Sooo, bolsokid's driver had 1,2 million in money moved through his account, even a 24,000 transfer to bolsowife.

Obviously the commission that published this report, and over a thousand more in the car wash thing over the years, is now apparently PT as well.

edit: ok, bolso himself implicated, his ex parliamentary staff laundered loving loads of money and more ghost staff (aka paid to not work) keep popping up, it's a bloody headhunt that will have literally no effect, except maybe the minions shutting up a bit

I guess it's more likely than one would think since the paper bag test doesn't work in Brazil.

You had me look up the paper bag test.

There's no fraternities here either but we metaphorically have it, it's just that racism has never really been coded into law here so there's been no civil rights legal fight to be had. We on the left call this the "racial democracy myth", started in the 30's by Gilberto Freyre in the book Casa-Grande & Senzala that started this myth that because we're all mixed race and society somehow functions, there's just no racism in Brazil. The country was trying to affirm it's national identity, from this time comes the national tenets like samba and football. This myth was heavily promoted internationally by the nationalist Vargas government, and has become something of a national pride issue, but it's absolutely not true.

is brazil going to move its embassy to jerusalem or is netanyahu full of hot air?

That's bolzi's plan, yeah, he's been talking about it all over since the campaign. The evangelical hard right is bent on collecting that promise, pastors on twitter (stupidest timeline theory is real lmao) are already making noise about how their flock's support hangs on this issue. If I had to guess I'd say bolzi will fold to all their demands immediately whenever they are issued.

I've recently seen poo poo recently like people trying to claim Integralism as the 'woke' and 'chill' fascism too even though while Plinio Salgado didn't had any outward hostility to mixed race/black people, they had a lot of antisemitism mixed in.

An integralist fact I learned recently is that PRTB, the vice-president Mourão's party, openly sponsored integralist/national front concerts in São Paulo.


And as I looked it up for this post I found this interview on a libertarian rag where they invite integralists to "share their views".

I doubt bolzi would go full Duterte, but Mourão most definitely would, and in a possible impeachment poo poo would go full military coup real loving fast.
PRTB is the fashest legal party in Brazil, they're real real loving tiny and headed by notorious idiot Levy Fidelix who came on several presidential races with less than 1% using his time to insult homosexuals saying excretory organs do not reproduce, and promote his pet project which is a long distance aerial monorail.
Of course, he's their party's only senator and leader, a step away from executive power with a bumbling baffoon as his only obstacle, so I guess he's not so stupid after all, Mourão was straight up recruited into politics from the ranks by his hand and got the vice post when all other possible names were insane new-right icons who would be political time bombs.
Mourão is also insane and a time-bomb, during the campaign he blurted out poo poo like "abolish the minimum wage" and "single moms raise criminals" which were real political stinkers the marketing department rushed to fix, he also had spats with bolzi and now is asking for investigation on the obvious giant corruption scheme the bolsokids are running, but he's military and old so you can know exactly what to expect of him, unlike the other candidates for vice which were bombastic unreliable lunatics who cropped up during the anti-PT tide.

get that OUT of my face posted:

what makes you say that? bolso's rhetoric about what police and the military should do to crack down on crime are identical to what duterte has said. if anything, bolso being duterte might be the best-case scenario for brazil

I think bolso's going to give police chart-blanche to kill and will help the paramilitary militias take over drug trafficking, but not in an all-out invade everything at once way. I think his style is Rio-like constant brutal oppression alongside relative "normality". He named Zezé Perrela as minister of sports, the mysterious owner not-owner of the 500 ton cokecopter, who literally admitted to trafficking drugs in a police bugged conversation with former right-wing superstar Aecio Neves, and got no flak for either case, him being on the government is telling of the realities of his ruling coalition's relationship with the drug trade. Bolso's decisions are gonna kill a lot of people, but organized crime's structure will probably profit from it, corrupt cops licensed to kill are a great asset for the drug factions. He also will probably try to maintain a democratic facade.
Mourão on the other hand will absolutely send tank columns to Brasilia, use artillery on favelas, display tortured demonstrators publicly like in the 60's, because he's a true model of brazilian military high ranking officers, dumb as a brick, an absolute psychopath, and will most definitely kick down your door and murder you without hesitation then laugh about it later. Bolzi got kicked out of the army for a failed terrorist plot, he's generally incompetent, while Mourão managed to get to general and has received support from other retired and active brazilian top brass, which suggests he might get a working dictatorship going if given the chance.

edit: now that I think about it, I guess Bolso will really be closer to Duterte, Mourão being a Castelo Branco

do not underestimate the power of gib money or we impeach u aka mugged at knifepoint by the triumphant power-centrão, even if it's still not really credible. The answer will probably be paying them off for now but then what incentive is there for them not to hold Bolsonaro's ridiculously sleazy past over his head to get even more poo poo going their way? Like in the later Dilma years, when she caved time and time again and ended up getting impeached anyway.

the PSL chud mass is there to stay anyway and is clearly fractured already, and Bolso is such a complete fool he might just lose, giving way for Mourão to go full 64 :(

PT's downfall began in 2013, imo

with the mass protests erupting, both the government and the usual rightist ghouls tried putting it down

but as the movement evolved and got really big, the right-wing embraced it as anti-government and anti-PT, and pretty much controlled the narrative since then

PT kept decrying "nazi black blocs" (lol) instead of using the originally left-wing anti bus fare protests to pass left policies, also Dilma made huge concessions that made the government look weak

Dilma won 2014 by a slim margin but the tide was clearly turning, with lunatics being given the pulpit by the press and justices politically persecuting Lula more openly than ever before

This all adds up to today, i can't believe 6 years ago i was being teargassed in front of Zero Hora only for the chudosphere to capitalize on it
