What now?

 

What I meant is that Trump never went AS FAR as Bozo in his comments. Some of Bozo's comments on record:

"The mistake of the dictatorship was to torture and not kill."
 

"Pinochet should have killed more people."


"I would be incapable of loving a homosexual child. I prefer that my son die in an accident"

"I won't rape you because you don't deserve it." (to a female politician)
 

"I don't have this risk, my children were very well educated" (about what would he do if his son dated a black woman)

 

"I won't fight or discriminate, but if I see two men kissing in the street, I'll knock them."

 

"Women should earn less because they get pregnant"

 

"(if) the son starts to act like that, a little bit gay, a spank changes his behavior."

 

"I went in a quilombo. The lightest afro-descendant there weighed seven arrobas [a measurement used to weigh cattle]. Not even for procreate he's good anymore."

 

Should I continue?

Brazil giving us shame once again. A country known for nude women, violence, lack of education and football would be no different. :bowdown::bowdown: 

 

And of course, my state, Espirito Santo, contributed heavily to this misfortune. The state that kills most women in the country never disappoints.  :champion:

 

But at least the second round is possible, so I can suffer later. :rofl:

 

Once again I'm glad to live in the Northeast region. São Paulo and Rio elect the worst politicians possible.

I live in Santa Catarina, and this is the state in which Bolsonaro won with the largest margin among all states in the country. This is like living in hell.

Tbqh from an outsider, Brazilian politics has seemed to be a constant mess and this is just the cherry on top. How can anyone with a morale sense elect someone like that? This coming from someone who considers them self a conservative.

For some reasons:

1) He is against LGBT people, and our country is homophobic.

2) He is against abortion.

3) He is against crime, the bad guys, despite the very tough measures to counter this.

4) Most churches support him, and churches have a huge influence.

5) I think the rejection of the political party called PT also helped in that.

Unfortunately this elections unvealed the worst prejudices in brazilian society. People are now chanting in the metro things like "Hey faggots, be aware, Bolsonaro will kill you" like is the most normal thing in the world. If people wanted to elect a conservative, they had plenty of options like Alckmin or Amoedo, but they went straight to the far-right candidate, even though he's a very incompetent politician (27 years in congress and only 3 projects approved). I have no hope for this country anymore and zero patience for people who support him.

Sad day for Brazil indeed... people is so fed up with crime, corruption and bucreacrat's inneficacy in Latin America that they will turn to the extreme right or the populist left, based on promises that were fabricated by political marketing firms.

 

Mexico is at huge risk of causing another "Tequila effect" like it was 24 years ago and Brazil is now on the verge of being governed by a genocidal lunatic

 

Good bless us all :(

For the brazilians users: 

 

1) Probably Bolsonaro wont do nothing important and he is pure "bla bla", beware with they strongers suporters, they will say and do stupiditys (specially in the first time)

 

2) With him, probably the brazilian society will be divided in two (like in my country now, you are oficialist or kirchnerism and there is nothing in the middle), in our country this process be call "La grieta", it doesnt start with the kirchnerism but that goverment make that divisition stronger and many familys are divided since then and many friendships finished too for that reason, i understand your angry but may be in the future, you will regret the  decision of dont have any contact with their voters and people who voted him wont suport in the future and accept their big mistake, dont lose family or friends for politics.

 

3) Brazil is your country and many good things your society has CANT be lost of a single presidential election.

 

P.D: the PT making a spot comparing Bolsonaro with Hittler.........make him a big favor, after the "knife incident", attacking him turns in a very stupidity strategy, our societys have a big "empaty" with the politician in this cases, is like "hit Bambi", you always be "the villain" if you do that.

    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams
    • Write-up on the Gisin story.   Olympic champion Gisin undergoes cervical spine surgery after crash
    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
