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.

Or try like in Trump's case: just ignore as much as possible and wait for the next elections and hope any other random person wins :p

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.

Although I do think Bolsonaro is kind of a million times worse than Trump, to be honest..and since Trump is a major asshat, that says something.

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.

    • And this is the final Medal Table fo the XX Bolivarian Games in     
    • Agreed. But OTOH, the chances of a Male Team pursuit medal also seem rather slim at the moment, so why the hassle of dropping someone.
    • I have a sports database with millions of entries, which I then convert graphically on my Wikipedia sandbox.
    • Wouldn't be surprised to see the same this time. The men's 500m has basically on or with luck two medal chances, but certainly not three (semi-realistic) ones. With Beau Snellink for now not exactly on his way to an Olympic ticket and Patrick Roest still questionable, that might only leave Chris Huizinga, Jorrit Bergsma and Marcel Bosker, and that is not exactly a group one would want to have in the team pursuit.
    • 4 years ago the third Male 500 metres qualifier was dropped for a Team pursuit rider. 
    • In the 5000 she probably won't (first alternate at the moment).      What are the chances of the matrix "prioritizing" a mTP squad ?
