My letter/email to my Senators, Budd and Tillis just now:
Senator, On a number of counts with the Republican Party, Donald Trump, Mass deportations, concentration camps in the US, and the choice of a criminal for the federal bench, not even counting trumpeconomics, and isolation from our allies around the world, I am convinced you - all of you - are determined to turn this country into a pay-to-play - de-educated, unvaccinated, and a dictatorship with TV personalities and ignorant MAGA people pretending to run the country, and kill people by default through inaction and incompetence. My question to you is, what do you have to gain from this? The rest of the world will go on about it's business while Trump brags about his accomplishments on a pile of shit and will probably want to paint it all gold. You are all traitors. I look forward to the day we can punish you for your treason.
Ta, Dok. Muito obrigado. Unfortunately, the São Paulo rag wants to show me purchase plans to access the article, and they'll get no money from me. If I were to subscribe to a Brazilian paper, it would be O Globo. I loathe and detest Bolsonaro, who proudly calls himself Brasil's Trump.
I'm really glad this shitstorm is good for Lula. Brazilians did not get to vote until the largest successful political protest movement in history: Direta Já. A million took to the streets of Rio (I was there) and 1.5 million took to the streets of SP a week later. The entire country demanded voting rights, and got them. Of course, it being Brasil, it was also very much a party, samba schools and all. My Rio host told me I got a taste of Carneval.
It's probably time for Mr. and Mrs. Brazil to find a new store to shop at. That USA store up the street's under new management, and the guy in charge is fucking everything up.
For some time I've been searching for the correct shade of orange to describe what the Dotard smears on his hideous face. It's the yellowish orange of bile. Which suggests a new nickname: the Bilious Bilionaire.
You can't eat gold. Midas found that out the hard way. What you're looking for is this: the Skata Touch. Everything he touches turns to shit.
Back story: Nixon's ambassador to Greece in the early 70s, and very much pro-junta, was a guy named Tasca. This was used effectively by anti junta demonstrators.
Brazil buy MORE from the USA 🇺🇸, then we buy from them. The USA has a surplus with Brazil.

Only because he's being permitted to do so, via sustained inaction

Burning, sure. More effective: Hair Removal! All of it. Such as there is.
And I suddenly flash on Michael Jackson's hair product catching fire from the pyrotechnics.
Imagine an open flame anywhere near Sir’s Aqua Net™ Pro-Hold® saturated bird’s nest! FOOOOOOOOOM!
“The big orange dirtbag.” Sounds about right!
For some time I've been searching for the correct shade of orange to describe what the Dotard smears on his hideous face. It's the yellowish orange of bile. Which suggests a new nickname: the Bilious Bilionaire.
Dump has a talent for bringing people together in hatred of him. "No one can unite folks like me, OK? So incredible, it's unprecedented really"
Like Dubya. A Uniteder not a Dividededinger.
trump's Art of the Steal backfires again.
Turns out bludgeoning people with power isn't that effective.
Brazil’s Supreme Court is likely to convict Bolsonaro because they’re not a bunch of partisan Christian Nationalist hacks and respect the rule of law.
They sound useful. Can we borrow them for little while?
Russian asset? Chinese asset? Why not both? Trump's certainly cluelessly capable of serving in both capacities.
That's the way Useful Idiots work. He's a Patsy like Buchanan and a Mark like Levin.
What's that thing, the Midas Touch, that turns everything to gold? Yeah, Trump has the opposite of that.
Donnie has the Merde-ass Touch.

Skata Touch! Thanks for the info!
Surprisingly, Trump got away with it in terms of blocking the prosecution of Netanyahu which he stalls by prolonging a high casualty war.
Where is the Secretary of State? Actually I don't care, I bet he would say Lula is another Fidel.
Where is the Secretary of State? Where he always is, firmly lodged in Chump's anus.
Sycophant of State. All cabinet level positions have been renamed. Stephen Miller is simply Obergruppenfuhrer.
Sadly, although better than Bolsonaro, the current Brazilian government remains part of the planet-wrecking cabal: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/17/brazil-passes-devastation-bill-that-drastically-weakens-environmental-law
So does the U.S., more via passivity and inaction in the face of rampant cruelty, ineptitude, and greed

"It's so touching how he brings people together like that!"
-- China
China has been raking in new allies since trump took office. By the time trump leaves, China will have rewritten world power at the expense of the USA
Soft power that the US is likely never going to get back now that Trump has made us completely untrustworthy.
