Picked these up at a fold-up table under a tree on Avenida Paulista this afternoon. If I was Brazilian of course I'd vote for him. Anyone who pulled millions out of literal hunger and increased the middle class deserves a vote. But mostly, because every single Bolsonaro is a corrupt fascist.

6. Trump has pay to play, Flávio Bolsonaro extorted his appointed aides and counselors for part of their salaries in order to get and keep their jobs. 7. Both Trump and the entire Bolsonaro clan disrespect and threaten the judiciary and believe the judiciary to be an extension if their will.

3. Both Trump and Jair Bolsonaro are failures in their chosen professions: casino owner and Army captain, respectively. 4. Both are notorious misogynists. 5. Both wrap themselves in their country's flag. 5. Both cover themselves with religion and pander to the worst elements of evangelism.

Not one Brazilian journalist or commentator has pointed out the similarities between Trump and Bolsonaro, which may explain the affinity they claim to have for each other. 1. Both have sons that rival their dads in being drooling nitwits. 2. Both are corrupt to the core. 3. Both are fascists.

In case you didn't know, Brazil is having a presidential election this Sunday. Lula da Silva is seeking reelection against one of Jair Bolsonaro's sons , Flávio. A vote for Flávio is a vote for Brazil going down the fascist shit holes like Milei's Argentina.

If imitation is the highest form of flattery, Senator Schmitt deserves a prize. He is so MAGA and worships Trump so much he mimicked Trump's habit of shitting himself so thoroughly there can be no disbelief. We're talking massive bed-shitting. Massive.
