The message is everywhere the same, regardless of local conditions: blame immigrants for crime, disorder, housing prices, and anything else voters might be discontented about; reject vaccinations and promote quack remedies; back Russia and vilify Ukraine.

Bolsonaro found guilty in attempted coup, assassination plot

Bolsonaro and Trump have called it a witch hunt orchestrated by political rivals to keep him out of next year’s presidential election because when you're a crook why would you admit to being guilty?

The former president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, has been sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison just hours after being found guilty of plotting a military coup.

Reacting to the guilty verdict, Trump compared it to his own experience: "That's very much like they tried to do with me. But they didn't get away with it at all."

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Brazil's Supreme Court had "unjustly ruled to imprison former President Jair Bolsonaro" and threatened to "respond accordingly to this witch hunt".

Trump imposed 50% tariffs on Brazilian goods, framing them as retaliation for Bolsonaro's prosecution.

What next, after sentencing? Does Trump declare war on Brazil to free its jailed President?

Obviously you don't see how evil Trump is because you are more defective than he is. Trump and your life have been one after another
Cataclysm: A destructive event.
Calamity: An event causing great and often sudden damage or distress.
Disaster: A sudden event, such as an accident or natural catastrophe, that causes damage or loss of life.
Tragedy: An event causing great suffering, destruction, and distress.
Misfortune: Bad luck or an unfortunate incident.
Affliction: A cause of great pain or harm.
Tribulation: A cause of great trouble or suffering.

But neither Trump nor you will learn how to avoid more of the same in the future until it kills you.

We've got a very long archived history of your evil here, and despite all warnings against it, we get additional entries to that every single day of the week without fail.

We refuse any judgment of anyone else's character from the likes of you after seeing your behavior.

Say hi to Kevin Drum for me.

Trump is using the killing of Charlie Kirk to incite violence against anyone who stands in his way.

Trump has repeatedly incited mob violence since his first campaign.

The Kirk killing is an excuse for more violence and intimidation. “We have radical left lunatics out there,” declared Trump, “and we just have to beat the hell out of them.” An utterly malign appeal to mob violence from a sitting president.

During his remarks at a press briefing in July, President Trump scrambled to justify his destruction of climate regulations by attempting to explain rain to reporters. Trump stated, "You know it comes down from heaven, right?" Inane is the word to describe him.

I hate to say it, Sigs, because I know it's a real sensitive issue to you. And I don't mean you personally because you and your husband both did what was expected of you and from what I know of you, you did it well enough to exceed most in your generation. And I know you have DD to worry about with all that work you're always doing tending to the house. So this isn't an attack on YOU, okay?



I think a real big part of the current seismic shift we're going through is because the oldest of the Boomer generation is starting to die off and/or go senile, and now it's Gen X rather unwillingly and/or uncaringly becoming the senior generation.

I think we're all just kind of sitting here like "oh... for fuck's sake. What are we going to do now? Our grandparents all died and things got way worse because our parents all kind of sucked and were huge disappointments. And now our parents are all dying off too... and we just sat back and let these dipshit Millennials get in line to take it all over 2 decades ago... And then we watched them speedrun everything from comics and movies to the economy and society in general into the fucking ground while the Boomer Politicians and Senior Management were too busy to babysit them, what with having their schedules full of stacking that cash with all that insider trading, selling the rest of us out and drooling on themselves.

And the Millennials weren't even our fucking kids man... They're our step/half brothers and sisters from our Boomer parents' second failed marriages.

It's like they raised two pretty awful generations of kids overall, but the 2nd experiment was just WAY worse than the first one was...

I would venture a guess that the Baby Boomer Generation in America held more power for longer than any other in the country ever has before them. That's one-third because of how fucking greedy and full of ambition Baby Boomers are, As A Group. It's one-third how self-centered and full of ambition Millennials are, as a group. And it's one-third because of how fucking lazy and/or disaffected and/or uninterested Generation X is in politics or saving the world, as a group. Nihilism was kind of our thing. I have half of a decent friend roster who never made it out of their 20's to back that up. I'd blame TV for it, but that would make me sound like a fucking Boomer.



I think Gen X is like "Fuck This". I was fine with not having to take any responsibility as long as the people who really wanted it were more or less doing right by us, even if they were fucking us over. Boomers fucked everybody, but they just had a gentler touch, and only pushed that envelope a little bit at a time, so subtle that most people didn't even really notice the glacial shift until it was way too late.

The Millennials got in there and said "LET'S BURN THIS MOTHERFUCKER DOWN AND REBUILD IT THE WAY WE WANT IT!"

But their only two problems were that none of them were in agreement about what the way they wanted it would look like, and even if they were, not a single one of them ever built anything beyond LEGO sets and haven't held a fucking hammer in their hands since their Boomer parents gave their Builder Bob plastic tool belt to Goodwill.




To this day, nobody ever talks about Gen X.

I've only rarely even heard murmurings from only a handful of sources even mentioning Gen X, and that didn't start until right after the election results were finally in.



Yanno... They raised us to not really bother going for a degree unless we were top of the class and gung-ho for going there. But they didn't bother teaching us any skills either. We were just kind of left on our own, to our

In March, Commerce Secretary Lutnick told Fox Business that Trump’s leadership would soon be reflected in the economy.

In July, after the Commerce Department reported that the GDP grew 3 percent, Lutnick announced in an X post that “the Trump Economy has officially arrived.”

Lutnick also told CBS News that month that the “next two weeks are going to be weeks for the record books.”

The administration quietly changed its tune in September, when President Donald Trump said ahead of the release of the latest jobs report that “the real numbers” will come out “in a year from now.”

The Commerce Secretary expressed confidence that the economy will start booming in 2026 and reach “full fire” in 2027 after the Labor Department reported Thursday that consumer prices rose for the fourth month in a row to 2.9 percent, and the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits hit 263,000 last week, the highest in almost four years.

Trump made the comment during a private dinner with high-flying tech executives, including Tim Cook of Apple, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, and Sam Altman of OpenAI.

“When these monstrous, huge, beautiful places — they’re palaces of genius — when they start opening up, I think you’ll see job numbers that are going to be absolutely incredible,” Trump said. “Right now, it’s a lot of construction numbers, but you’re going to see job numbers like our country has never seen before.”
