    One of the biggest indicators of whether a country is a fascist country is that other fascists flee to that country.

      Eh. This is more an indication that Lulu, specifically, has learned his lessons from his first turn at the Presidency and isn’t going to wait around for the Bolsonaros to organize a coup against him.

      Look at Columbia or El Salvador or Ecuador or Chile. They all had a turn at Biden tier liberalism, let the fascism feaster under their watch, and then got flipped to reactionary dictatorships in the next cycle.

      Lulu got jailed once. He came out stronger and smarter. He’s too old to get shoved back into prison again.

    What a bunch of garbage all around. If only people stopped electing asshole criminals like him, orange and others around the globe. Stop being idiots and stop electing pos like these. Stop thinking they’re “strong” and want to “feel strong” too by proxy or whatever stupid psych bs used as an excuse. Be best!

    Well, the US famously don’t like immigrants, so I’m sure the fine boys from ICE will sort him out.

    What?

    What do you mean it doesn’t matter because he’s rich?

    Well, that’s an oddly unprincipled stance to take. So, perfectly good foreign nationals with low net worth will be incarcerated but literally the devil himself would not if he had wealth?

    Yes I know who Elon Musk is…

        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

          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?

          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.

                ​

          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.

          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.

      We’ve always collected them. The Shah, Batista, Santa Anna, the police chief who executed a prisoner in Saigon, President Thieu, that dumb woman who thought she would get put in power in Venezuela if she gave Trump her Nobel Peace prize.

      We almost had Napoleon I too (that would have been pretty cool though)

      Idi Amin spent the last couple of decades of his life in Saudi Arabia. I can’t think of anything that Saudi Arabia has in common with Russia …

    Criminals used to flee America. Now we’re importing them and giving them government jobs. I hate this timeline
