Bolsonaro’s central bank would be anything but independent. He is a fascist, pain and simple. Nothing good comes out of that. Case closed.

They aren’t flourishing...They’re simply being allowed to exist. There’s a fine difference here and I say that as someone who’s related to several members of one of the largest police unions in the country in a State that is generally really favorable to organized civil service in general.

Brazil is in desperate need of reform. And the blunt, harsh reality is that some portion of that needs to be liberal (in the classical sense) reform.

And I’m sure the people of Sao Paolo might have a thing or two to say about Fernando Haddad’s capacity to do much of anything at all very well.

Sounds like what happened with Mango Unchained. Remember when he was going to rein in Rx drug prices? Ensure better job opportunities for people who work for a living? Start promoting and lowering the price of trade programs for job education?  Pepperidge Farm remembers.

The alternative to Bolsonaro, Fernando Haddad, ain’t exactly all that compelling a figure, either.

Have they read Adam Smith? That dude specifically said regulation is wildly needed or people who aren’t wealthy would be exploited. 

True, though I think it bears noting that this has always been the case, and has nothing to do with Trump. The only bearing Trump has on the whole Brazil situation is to change the rhetoric used to pump up the elites’ preferred fascist from “anti-communist” to “populist”.

Yeah, one guy wants to make sure roads are properly up to code and the other one wants TO LITERALLY HAVE PEOPLE MURDERED. Congrats, you win the Golden Horseshoe Award for Both Sides-ism.

That is why they paint him as a populist, so they can justify it.

Uhhhh....seems to me it gets even deeper. Because I’m going to guess (although I could be wrong) that the Wall Street Journal doesn’t regularly make endorsements in presidential elections in other countries. And...ummm...according to them they haven’t endorsed an American presidential candidate since 1928(???). So…

This WSJ article was written by “The Editorial Board” who, no joke, have this as their official bio.

Yuuuuup. The aristocracy and moneyed always support the jackboot so long as it is being put on the necks of the majority and they can help it out as a quid pro quo in exchange for promises of more profit.

It’s not the prettiest car, but as lithy mentioned, its proportions make a little more sense when you see it in person.

I wish the left was as violent as the right says we/they are. We, as a society, were able to drive these pests into the darkness because we collectively agreed that being a Nazi was not okay. It was a herd immunity. Now, via brainwashing via Fox and self-supported delusions, Nazis and their allies get to walk around…

They DID fight. They lost. They were always going to lose because math. But after losing, they apparently should have cried and stomped their feet REALLY hard. Because that would have proven how tough they were.

Splinter News: The Democrats which do not have a majority in the Senate lost and will lose votes that require a simple majority which can also include the tie-breaking Vice President, FUCK THEM It’s ALL THEIR FAULT THIS IS WHY WE ADVOCATE OUSTING ALL OF THEM LEt’S IGNORE THE FACT THAT REPUBLICANS WOULD HAVE AN EVEN…

Yea. I feel like someone at Splinter gets assigned the “Lets dismiss everything else and blame the democratic party to show how progressive we are” article after things like this happen. Its obnoxious signaling. They are usually shit arguments, but its also their rock and they wanna die on it. I wouldn’t get to worked…

It’s hard to believe that this is written by a deputy editor of a liberal political news site. Russia Today would cover this in a very similar fashion, as breeding apathy among leftist voters in the West - so that they stay home come election day - is one of the key goals of Vladimir Putin to shepherd destructive…

You’re much more nuanced than I was in my comment. +1
