How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

Isn’t it interesting that many videos of ICE encounters with victims or protesters are now referring to them as “suspected federal agents” since there is no way to know exactly who they are with their face masks and sketchy uniforms and agency patches.

Man, even with Brazil doing a lot right (convicting and imprisoning a traitorous far right president), it still has to deal with the far right movement he left behind, which has picked the traitor's son to challenge the lefty incumbent.
