Brazil's Bolsonaro says he has 'mold' in his lungs as his wife tests positive for Covid-19 https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/31/americas/brazil-bolsonaro-mold-lungs-intl/index.html Brazil first lady, another Cabinet minister infected https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coron...y-another-cabinet-minister-infected-1.5045521 wrbtrader
Yeah, saw that, mould from being in the house for 20 days he says. Not complications from the covid-19 at all.
I wonder had Henry Cain survived or had mild symptoms from Covid-19... What excuse would he use...handkerchief wasn't thick enough, mold in the house, forgot one day to take his hydroxychloroquine pill... https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/30/politics/herman-cain-dies-coronavirus/index.html At least they all stopped calling it a hoax. Geeesh, these individuals are not young people. They are the elderly. Thus, they should be the last people under-estimating what's going on around them. Reminds me of the two old ladies in the grocery store standing behind me talking angrily about having to wear a face mask via the new provincial mandate. With my face mask on...I faked a cough a few times while turning my head to the side (away from the direction of those in front of me). The two old ladies standing behind me...they backed up another 5 feet on top of the 6 feet they were already standing away from me. Anyone > 40 years of age should be the last people complaining about wearing face masks or making it a political statement. wrbtrader
Bolsonaro likes the Trump playbook so much he sent his son to the My Pillow guy's cyber conference.

Brazil: warning Bolsonaro may be planning military coup amid rallies Former world leaders and public figures say nationwide marches are modelled on US Capitol insurrection https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...ro-may-be-planning-military-coup-amid-rallies
88 Tactical, Militarized Police, and a Looming Coup in Brazil Brazil is currently on high alert amid signs its fascist leader is planning a “self coup” to despotically seize and retain power. Bolsonaro loyalists have had years of training from Omaha’s 88 Tactical and US law enforcement. https://seeingrednebraska.com/racism/88-tactical-militarized-police-and-a-looming-coup-in-brazil/
This is the week of the coup... Bolsonaro supporters breach police cordon in protest against Brazil judiciary https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/07/world/bolsonaro-protest-supporters-brasilia-intl/index.html Supporters of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro pushed through police barriers to advance towards Congress in Brasilia on Monday night, the eve of a day of planned demonstrations to back the far-right leader in his dispute with the judiciary. Trucks honked their horns as hundreds of Bolsonaro supporters dressed in the green-and-yellow national colors cheered them through, videos posted on social media showed. But they failed however to reach their target of surrounding the Supreme Court, which some demonstrators have planned to occupy in a protest modeled on the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of then-President Donald Trump. The square of the Supreme Court building remains closed off by barriers and a line of police, the city's security department said. Thousands of demonstrators are expected to march in the capital on Tuesday - Brazil's independence day - and in the financial center Sao Paulo to support Bolsonaro in his clash with the judiciary over changes to the voting system. Critics fear the president is encouraging supporters to the point that they might try to invade the court. More than 150 left-leaning former presidents and party leaders from across the globe signed an open letter criticizing Bolsonaro for encouraging what they called an imitation of the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol, staged by Trump supporters after he gave a speech falsely claiming his election defeat was the result of fraud. The demonstrations are "stoking fears of a coup d'état in the world's third-largest democracy," the letter said. Bolsonaro said on Friday the demonstrations will be an ultimatum to the Supreme Court justices who had taken what he called "unconstitutional" decisions against his government. The court has authorized investigations of Bolsonaro allies for allegedly attacking Brazil's democratic institutions with misinformation online. He has called the court-ordered probes a violation of free speech rights. Congress and the courts also resisted Bolsonaro's attempt to introduce paper voting receipts as a backup to an electronic voting system which he says is vulnerable to fraud. The electoral court maintains the system is transparent and safe. Bolsonaro's critics say he is sowing doubts so he can challenge the results of next year's election, which opinion polls now show him losing to former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Neither has confirmed his candidacy. In a speech on social media on Monday, the leftist Lula said the president on Independence Day should offer hope of economic recovery and solidarity with the victims of COVID-19. "Instead of announcing solutions, he is calling people to confrontation...in acts against democracy," Lula said, accusing Bolsonaro of sowing "division, hatred and violence." Brasilia will have 5,000 police and military personnel on hand to maintain order at the rally outside Congress, where Bolsonaro is scheduled to appear on Tuesday morning. In the afternoon, Bolsonaro will join supporters on a major avenue in Sao Paulo at a gathering that he has billed as the biggest political rally in Brazilian history. Many leftist leaders have urged their followers to avoid clashes by skipping counter-demonstrations on Tuesday in favor of larger anti-Bolsonaro protests on Sept. 12. Financial, industrial and agribusiness leaders have also distanced themselves from Bolsonaro's attacks on the Supreme Court and called for dialog between the executive and judiciary.
Brazil is not the only country in which former Trump aids or former Trump administration people are speaking with or associated with people that are known anti-Democratic or anti-American...people hanging out with far-right folks in other countries. This is why America can not let Trump back into office. The far-right is not just a problem in America... it's a problem in other countries too because in some countries...they're part of those elected into government. wrbtrader
Lula retains lead over Bolsonaro in Brazil opinion poll ahead of election https://www.reuters.com/world/ameri...ly-unchanged-ahead-elections-poll-2022-06-23/ Former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is retaining his lead over incumbent Jair Bolsonaro ahead of Brazil's October presidential election, according to a Datafolha opinion poll released on Thursday. Lula drew 47% support in the opinion poll against Bolsonaro's 28%. In May, Lula's lead was 48% to 27%. The polling results suggest time is running out for other candidates hoping to make it a three-way race. While leftist former state governor Ciro Gomes gained 1 percentage point from the last poll, he had the support of just 8% of voters polled. In a potential second-round runoff between the rivals, leftist leader Lula now has a 23 percentage-point lead over right wing Bolsonaro, down from 25 points in May, the survey showed. This week, Lula presented an official government plan outlining priorities if elected, including a new fuel pricing policy, removing a cap on government spending, and dramatically reining in deforestation. Lula welcomed Thursday's poll results on Twitter, saying that despite a month of "TV advertising and a flood of fake news on the internet," Brazilian people showed they want to "get rid" of the current government. Bolsonaro's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Datafolha interviewed 2,556 Brazilians of voting age (16 years) on Wednesday and Thursday. The poll has a margin of error of 2 percentage points up or down.
