Brazil can't pass a single day without a scandal lol

 

In today's news, the guys who killed Marielle (a proeminent councilwoman from Rio) were arrested, and one of them lives at the same building of president Bolso :roflmao:

 

I can't with Brazil anymore. I'm just following the news (like I don't live here) and waiting for our inevitable collapse as a nation.

That's exactly what I'm doing (or trying to do). There are much bigger problems in my life to care so much about politics :p

 

But sometimes it's just hard to ignore the major fuckery that's happening in Brazil.

And mine. Apart from living in the US under Trump my country back home is run by a drunk president, corrupt millionaire PM, literal Communists, and an anti-immigrant party run by a Japanese guy.
