        And the Untied States will invade Brazil to install him as president. I wish I was kidding and didn’t see this as a real possibility

          its much harder to invade it, much like iran its similar, the terrain is very prohibitive of enemy movement, when you have things like massive rivers and amazon jungle in the way.

          Not a fucking chance. What we would do, is cut a deal with their military to seize control, which, is what we did in Venezuela in case no one told you that yet.

                What’s your A1C on that?

                What’s an “A1C”?

                ​

                FWIW, I’d bet money that the House will flip, and I’m sure that the Senate will win ≥48, probably more. It’ll slow, but not stop, Trump, who might be his own worse enemy. The next Democrat President will be a relative dark horse, as was Obama in 2006, Clinton in 1990, or Carter in 1974; and the next Republican President will be about as bad as Dubya Bush or Trump.

                ​

          Brazil isn’t Venezuela, much bigger, stronger institutions, stronger army etc. Never say never but you think Trump is eager on getting into another Iran war?

            Do you think Trump has the prefrontal cortex mass remaining for that level of critical thinking?

            He’s an idiot. Also a narcissist, so easy to manipulate. He always thinks he’s right and he always thinks he knows better. He’s unpredictable imo.

            Well…Iran is a vast country, with a deeply rooted regime, strong military, proxies all over the Middle East ánd the ability to chokehold global energy supplies…

            …and yet Trump was stupid enough to wage war on Iran on a whim. Nuff said.

            I hate that this question doesn’t have a clear an immediate answer as “of course not!”. Because… yes, I can see pedohitler considering this to hide the disaster of Iran.

              Lol! In two more steps he will be trading nuclear hits with France and the UK to distract the population from his earlier mistakes…

          Don’t worry, if we were to elect a government in Australia that worked for the people they’d do the same here.

            I tried to get hired on as a cement operator (oil and gas) in Australia for a bit. You all dodged a bullet on that one. I would have been there illegally for damn sure after that work posting ended.

            Edit: drinking all your Goon.

        Pretty much. All of this is part of their theater. He flies from facing the consequences of his crimes but the far right will of course spin it around, lying about some political witch hunt. It’s always the same with these criminal politicians. Everyone else is the bad one. They know they simply have to keep denying everything and some idiots will keep believing them. It’s sad, really.
