It’s a Lawfare strategy to start that morphs eventually into Stalinism and jailing and execution of key dissidents.

You can’t govern people who don’t want to be governed. It’s a social contract. And when it’s broken, it can deteriorate quickly.

Always happy to see people stand up and fight for their rights. Sometimes I agree with the why, others not so much. This seems like a good reason to protest.

Ask the clown at the NY Times to prove that there wasn't any fraud and then we'll talk.

Bolsonaro is staying with some MMA guy in Orlando.


For real, this is a difficult situation to sort through. Greenwald is an interesting follow because it was his reporting about Bolsonaro corruption that freed Lula, but he also seems to have a soft spot for populist movements like the support for Bolsonaro. I know a lot of this board will perceive the Bolsonaro guys as based and fighting the commies. But, I have seen some reporting that Bolsonaro is actually the neoliberal puppet posing as anti-globalist, and Lula is more like what Bernie Sanders was supposed to be (left populist).

"Here's what to know about these protests over FALSE claims of election fraud."


How does the media KNOW which allegations are true and which ones are false?
They do not. Honorable investigations need to take place to determine if the allegations are true or false.

Why were the allegations that Trump colluded with Rushia investigated ($45M spent, not one eye witness), but election fraud is not investigated (???$ spent, thousands of eye witnesses)? Many judges claimed there was no standing when E-fraud cases were presented.
All voters have standing if the outcome of an election affects them. These judges should be removed.

Correct there is not a lot of difference between them, they are both left leaning populists. Greenwald supports Lula.

Truth is we do not have anywhere near enough information to pick sides here.

Is someone who is Constitutionally barred from running for President winning the election called fraud or something else?

Did Bolsonaro raise that as an objection to the election results?
