Zanin, Lula’s personal lawyer that he put on the Supreme Court, clarifies his order on voting hours extension — it will ONLY apply to voting locations that were still open. i.e. ones that the communists had kept open in anticipation of his order. The rest of the voting locations are to remain closed and to go ahead with finalizing their vote counts.
So, they extended the Brazilian elections by 2 hours after some of the votes had already been tallied, assuring that no matter who wins, the other side can allege “ballot chicanery.” We need to reign in “the judges” as a class of person worldwide.
Bolsonaro stronghold regions had already closed their polling stations. My understanding from elections past is that once the vote is finalized in the machine you can’t just turn it back on for more voting. Leftist areas did not shut off their machines or close polling stations. They were prepared. This is an attempt to steal the election.
This is existential for Brazil’s left and especially for the Supreme Court, which has orchestrated the persecution and torture of Jair Bolsonaro for the last four years. The one significant difference here from 2022 is that Lula does not have US support to steal the election.
Cheesecake Factory interiors are famously over-the-top and gaudy. "Like a Cheesecake Factory designed by Saddam" is actually a great description of what Trump has done to the White House.
Yeah true. However, with both Floyd and Trans, these are issues that are not focused on America. They are issues that immediately transgressed borders. Perhaps what Wayne is getting at is the combination of clout and conformity of liberal ideology. The American liberal ideology is aped by status conscious people around the world and allies itself with third columns across borders. When right wing Americans identify with a flag that isn't the American flag, it is another flag from American history like the Gadsen or Pine Tree flag. When Liberals do it, it's the pride flag (version 4).

@yoshispeninsula I agree to an extent. But the meta being foreign countries is partly indicative of the entire issue. It's never about America or Americans. Do you really not see the "undifferentiated global citizen" dynamic here?
@yoshispeninsula I feel like you are kind of aiding the point. Yes, it's the most widely recognized form of culture to the point that it becomes supranational.
imagine a fully integrated AI future where being banned means you are now economically useless. everybody around you is a superhuman living in the future but you violated TOS and now are cut off.
your smart glasses that showed you a beautiful utopia? the color has left them. you are forced to live in a bleak gray world. you are forced to look your wife in her actual face and she is not happy with you.
you are digging holes with a spoon while everybody else is building skyscrapers with an army of bots.
this is the real doomer catastrophe
open source is the only way to protect your freedom, your economic viability & your ability to tell these companies to fuck right off.
a few months ago openAI and anthropic were desperately begging the admin to make it legal for them to collaborate. if they got their way, one TOS violation on either platform would send you directly to the sunken place.
Democrats passed a law for a one year suspension of statutes of limitations just so they could sue Trump for an alleged assault in 1987.
Ilhan Omar's family moved here in 1995 and she got her citizenship in 2000.
Democrats and the press are just unfathomably shameless, with zero self-awareness.
