MajorJo Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 As I consider my self as a fiscal Conservative but Liberal on many social polices... I believe in small government, Low taxes and freedom for all but I support LGBT rights, Abortion rights to a point and sensible gun control. I like to think as my self as Libertarian. Trump is and idiot, Putin is a war pig and Bolsonaro is a fascist in my opinion all three are extremists. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did he dismiss your goofy theories about central banking and how the economy actually operates in the real world? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is, they are electronic. Canada still uses paper and we seem to be doing ok with it… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"dark days for democracy" he says... I have two boys. Twins in fact. Trump is certainly not one of them. Were he...I'd ask him to run again because...DeSantis still has work to do in Florida, and has to finish that first. You Libbies will get him the next time. Bolsonaro lost by the narrowest of margins and your accusations...learned of through learned publications like the NYT no doubt...maybe even Don LeMon's new big morning show...lol...its always wise to consider the messenger... Besides...I understand one of the first things this shiny new "hope" has done, is call for real peace talks between Ukraine, Russia and the USA. ,Groovy. I'm down for that. Here's real hope for you. I hope the USA soon decides to actually use the resources they have, before they drag us all into a real depression. I hope somehow that the southern border of the USA is shut tight. I hope the war in Ukraine does not pollinate Europe with nuclear radiation. I hope that interest rates don't fck over everyone. I hope Elon Musk has a ball whipping Twitter into shape. and I hope Hunter Biden burns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

500channelsurfer Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) Brazil is a bicameral legislative republic much like the United States. This presidential election result by itself is largely symbolic. Without the support of at least some of the legislature, the office of the president is almost as powerless as the Governor General of Canada. Bolsonaro's Liberal party still has more seats in Brazil's Senate and Chamber of Deputies than Lula's Workers' Party does. To compare, say Trump won 100% of the presidential vote, but the Democrats had every Congressperson; despite having the official title of President, Trump would have less actual power than Nancy Pelosi. Lula as president this time around will be a weak presidency as he will require multiple parties in both the Senate and Chamber of Deputies ' approvals for any proposals he intends to pass through. But hey, Presidential elections alone are what grabs the headlines. Edited November 3, 2022 by 500channelsurfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
