Within two years Brazil dealt with the crime, the trial and the sentencing of its president for treason. The former president was convicted of trying to cling to power after losing the 2022 election and has been sentenced to 27 years in the slammer.Jair Bolsonaro was a close buddy of the US King Donald Trump.Trump put tariffs on Brazil for proceeding with this trial. On the other hand the US and its weakling president Biden did nothing for four years when King Trump spearheaded an insurrection. Now since Trump has been crowned again he has bullied the courts into empowering him even more. He has used his royal position to earn over $4.2 billion dollars in his first year. King Trump has had his royal clerks re-write history about the insurrection. Every day the King sees new CEOs of giant corporations who pay bribes in order to curry favours. Soon the Kings new B747, another gift/bribe, completely adorned in gold will take flight. Ready to scour the globe for new bribes.

An old lady goes to the doctor and says: "Doc, I can’t stop farting. They’re silent with no smell, but I’ve let out 20 in the past 5 minutes sitting here"/ The doc gives her some pills and tells her to come back next week. The next week the old lady comes back and says "Doc, I took the pills, the farts are still silent but now they stink!" The doc says "Great! We’ve cleared up your sinuses, now let’s work on your hearing!"

My Brazilian friends have said that US politics is for beginners.

Well they are 30-06 so there is a bit of room unlike 5.56.

Well, that just means it’s mental illness, and you can’t do anything about mental illness. If it’s a left-leaning person then it’s political. Wendy P.

Social media isn't a cancer but it discloses cancer in the minds and in the thinking of many.

E.P.A. To Stop Collecting Emissions Data From Polluters "The data, from thousands of coal-burning power plants, oil refineries, steel mills and other industrial facilities, is the country’s most comprehensive way to track greenhouse gases." Its open season now for dumping anything anywhere. Let the next generation pay for the cleanup. IT must have been a couple great weeks of paydays for Trump to let this out of the bag.

Yet other voices of moderation. “We may disagree on policy, but we are united in our belief in the value of life, civil discourse and mutual respect,” wrote Kenneth Naylor, the chairman of the young Republicans group in Rhode Island. “Let us honor Charlie’s memory by working together to create a safer and more compassionate political culture.” "sports commentators like Pat McAfee,...Mr. McAfee went on to say, “I hope that to our entire society, like, ‘Yo, you can disagree with people, you can disagree with people, and you don’t have to hate them or have disdain for them forever.”... On Instagram, Cenk Uygur, a well-known progressive activist, echoed that sentiment, calling on partisans to “stop spreading hatred and let’s start spreading empathy.” Yet Trump and his inner circle keep spreading the gasoline. The aforementioned voices are the leaders not the demonizing, enemy labelling activists and politicians.

Whatever else you might say about him I think shithead is about as far from a holy man as you can get.

Err, ‘cos it wasn’t. The USA wasn’t founded with the goal of ending slavery. That’s just nonsense.

Is it dehumanizing to call a dehumanizing asshole an asshole? In this instance some of we extremist liberal individual rights mongers aren't doing the dehumanizing. We are simply observing that when folks who think occasional assassinations are a part of a healthy society get assassinated, as a direct consequence of their being dehumanizing assholes, it's not evidence of a topsy turvy world.

Regardless of party, anyone who dehumanizes political opponents is extremely dangerous. This is the mindset that fuels shootings, assassinations and wars (eventually).
