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.

    • 4-3  over  at the break, Norway with hammer.
    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
    • Thursday December 11th, 2025 - Round-Robin Day 4 Schedule (GMT +1)   12:30   Austria vs Ukraine 16:00   Norway vs Kazakhstan 19:30   Slovenia vs France
