The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

If JB works the media like Trump, and if the Brazilian Supreme Court bends to the will of the violent right, he could pull a Trump in '30 or whenever he gets to run again.

---Former President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil oversaw a broad conspiracy to hold on to power regardless of the results of the 2022 election, including personally editing a proposed order to arrest a Supreme Court justice

--Their efforts included spreading disinformation about voter fraud, drafting legal arguments for new elections, recruiting military personnel to support a coup, surveilling judges and encouraging and guiding protesters who eventually raided government buildings, police said.

--The court order unsealed on Thursday also details a meeting in July 2022, three months before the election, in which Mr. Bolsonaro ordered top government officials and military leaders to spread claims of voter fraud, despite a lack of evidence. “From now on, I want every minister to say what I’m going to say here,” Mr. Bolsonaro said at the meeting, according to a recording obtained by police.


America is truly the land of opportunity, where any felon/rapist/fraud wit enough money can grow up to become President.
