Will President Bolsonaro invoke Article 142??!

[ConfederateSS]

This is an interesting exit poll. It turns out Democratic voters are just bitter women who desperately need to get banged. If the GOP wants to win in 2024 they need a get-out-the-vote effort called f*ck a Democrat. Volunteers can just go door-to-door offering to bulldoze embittered Democratic vag.

--------You left out one thing...Saxi... Can't argue it Jp4fun...
-------- Who cares about Red Wave??? Or the polls...
-------- The Republicans were supposed to have preformed at a 2.5% uptick in voting across the country... Republicans preformed at a 6% uptick in voting....If the late redrawing districts didn't happen...There would have been A Red steamroller....But the 6% was Awesome....
-------- Some Republicans won and lost...O'dea lost in Colorado...He hates Trump...Is that why he lost...Or because Biden tricked college kids with free loan money...That he could never give...
-------- Elections always come down to local issues...Not people endorsing or promising things or candidates...
-------- Democrats vote for 50 days... Republicans vote , most, on Election Day...Until that day becomes a Holiday,when you have to vote on Election Day, except for Special Absentee Ballots...The Republicans will always have a huge mountain of Democrat votes to over come right at the start of Election Day...Fedderman already had 700,000 votes to OZ maybe 80,000 right when the Day started...That is why OZ lost...That is something that the RNC should of been addressing...From the past few elections....Make those T.V. ads...Instead of ones , that just attack Democratic candidates....That is what they should of been talking about....
--------- Trump, instead of talking about himself....Should have been telling people at his rallies....Go tomorrow at early voting places and vote....Not show up on November 8th, 2022 A.D...
----------- Basically, Republicans have to start voting for 50 days from now on...

---------- College teams like Florida State, LSU etc...would win 80 to 6 , run the score up.. Playing sub par teams...While Michigan would win 12 to 9...15 to 12...10 to 7 against Big Ten teams... Michigan was about defense...To Lloyd Carr...A win is a win...Even by just one point...Who cares about winning by a 1,000 pts...In the win column...You just get 1 win...So the Republicans had a wonderful night...On Election Day....... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...

Agree with Confed.

The only disappointment was because we wanted revenge against the Rats for the last two years of unprecedented attacks and humiliations they've inflicted upon us. We wanted their women to lament in terror and their children to cower in fear. We wanted to build a world created from their nightmares.

We got victory but we didn't get revenge.

But that'll do. When your sworn enemy is celebrating that they lost
... just not as big as they could have ... you know you're winning.

Now we have to continue the purges of the party and continue to sideline and expel the Cheneys and Kinzingers and replace them with Gabbards and Pauls until the GOP has been fully transformed into a radical Anti-War party and we can fully contrast ourselves against the Pro War MegaCorporation Democrats. We can't stop until the apparatus of genocide has been smashed.

GOP candidates have so far received 50,672,592 votes, or 52.3% of the total ballots cast as of this writing. Democrat candidates, by comparison, have so far received 44,802,597 votes, or 46.2% of the total.

If we had a parliamentary system, Donald J. Trump would be Prime Minister of the United States tonight.

Democracy is about counting heads as a tidier alternative to breaking heads. As long as we have the numbers we can always choose to go back to the old way whenever we deem it necessary. The Rats are outnumbered and we have them surrounded. We're winning.

"saxitoxin"
The Rats are outnumbered and we have them surrounded. We're winning.

That is NOT what the election of 2022 showed.

The Red Wave did NOT happen and the Senate may end up 50-50, again, AND the House (or Reps) will likely hold only a slim margin for Republicans. The country is divided nearly 50-50. And most polls shows that most of the country is Democrats. Thus 52.2% voting Republican in this 2022 election is rather meaningless.

If the Republicans could not WIN MORE with an unpopular US President, high inflation (blamed on President Biden), rising gasoline prices, and rising crime (as well as a broken US-Mexico border) then things do not look good for the future for many Republican candidates.

ONE APPARENT reason for the poor result for Republicans is that Democrats were motivated to reject the specter of Trump returning. The fact that Trump backed bad candidates (such as Dr. Oz) also did him NO FAVORS. Trump thinks that his formula, a TV personality pushing a few issues, did not work in Pennsylvania. I think Dr. Oz has a very impressive resume, BUT he was viewed by many in PA as a "carpetbagger" an OUTSIDER who does not really belong in nor "get" and truly understand many of those in PA.

carpetbaggers definition:

a political candidate who seeks election in an area where they have no local connections.
HISTORICAL
(in the US) a person from the northern states who went to the South after the Civil War to profit from the Reconstruction.
a person perceived as an unscrupulous opportunist.
"the organization is rife with carpetbaggers"

Many Republicans are now beginning to reject Trump.

Another Republican eloquently rejects Trump
Columnist Eric Black writes that Peter Wehner, who worked in the White House under three Republican presidents, has been eloquent and consistent in rejecting what Trump has done to his Grand Old Party.

Virginia’s GOP lieutenant governor calls Trump ‘liability to the mission’
By Laura Vozzella and Gregory S. Schneider
Updated November 10, 2022 at 6:26 p.m. EST|Published November 10, 2022 at 4:28 p.m. EST

RICHMOND — Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, a Republican who traveled the country in 2020 to promote President Donald Trump’s reelection, said in the aftermath of this week’s midterm elections that it’s time for Trump to leave the political stage.

“What we saw was, even though he wasn’t on the ballot, he was, because he stepped in and endorsed candidates,” Earle-Sears told The Washington Post on Thursday. “And yet, it turns out that those he did not endorse on the same ticket did better than the ones he did endorse. That gives you a clue that the voters want to move on. And a true leader knows when they have become a liability to the mission.”

Earle-Sears is the most prominent Republican officeholder in Virginia to break with Trump, who was deeply unpopular in the state overall but has maintained a firm grip on the Republican Party base.

The Democrats got 60% of the Gen Z vote and are responding to America's youth by unveiling a new, hip brand of politics.

Senator Diane Feinstein, who will turn 90 years old next month, has decided not to accept the position of President Pro Tempore when the 118th Congress convenes in January, citing the death of her 100 year old husband earlier this year and her desire to pass the baton; she was entitled to it after Patrick Leahy's retirement. With Feinstein's recusal, the office of President Pro Tempore will now go to a new generation of leaders and pass to 80 year-old Senator Cardin.

America is showing the world that younger people deserve a seat at the decision table. Congratulations, Senator Cardin!

Face of a New Generation:

Oh, wow Congress and the Senate are Old.
What breaking news!

https://www.quorum.us/data-driven-insig ... n-history/

According to this article (which may be dated and is subject to change)…

The avg. Senate Democrat is 64, avg. Senate Republican is 65.
The avg. Democrat Representative is 60, avg. Republican Representative is 57.

Seems like both parties are guilty of not representing across generations.

(BTW… we should ALL support Term Limits for Congress AND Senate.)
(It’ll never happen because they’d have to vote for somethjng that would personally hurt them. So…)

(BTW… we should ALL support Term Limits for Congress AND Senate.)

I think most americans do support term limits, house and senate members don't though so it's a bit of an uphill climb

As everyone knows, President Jair Bolsonaro won the 2022 Brazilian election but the official results were manipulated due to ballot rigging by the Left, handing the election to the corrupt embezzler Lula. There are rumors he's preparing to invoke Article 142 of the Brazilian constitution which allows him to mobilize the Army to restore law and order and crush the transsexual pedophile Left:

The Armed Forces, made up of the Navy, Army and Air Force, are permanent and regular national institutions, organized on the basis of hierarchy and discipline, under the supreme authority of the President of the Republic, and intended to defend the Nation, guarantee the constitutional branches of government and, on the initiative of any of these branches, law and order.

The failing New York Times report:

They arrived by the tens of thousands on Wednesday, angry and draped in Brazilian flags, massing outside military bases across the country. They were there, they said, to save Brazil’s democracy from a rigged election, and there was only one way to do so: The armed forces needed to take control of the government.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/02/worl ... tests.html

Everywhere in the streets Bolsonaro supporters are mobilizing while the Left is nowhere to be seen.

How do they have time for this in the middle of the World Cup?

As everyone knows, President Jair Bolsonaro won the 2022 Brazilian election but the official results were manipulated due to ballot rigging by the Left, handing the election to the corrupt embezzler Lula.

This sounds very much like Trump, CLAIMING that he lost he election due to voter fraud and cheating. President Jair Bolsonaro is viewed by many in the USA as a populist, like Trump. His charges of voter fraud looks like a page out of Trump's handbook of elections. We shall have to wait and see.

There is MUCH poverty in Brazil, more so than in the USA, so this drives much of the politics of Brazil, it seems to me.

Brazil is the world’s fifth largest country by both population (roughly 210 million) and geographical area (3,287,597 square miles). It is also the world’s eighth largest economy and previously hosted the 2016 Olympics. Despite these feats, Brazil struggles to recover from the worst recession in its country’s history. While Brazil is not poor, the level of people in poverty there is well above the norm for a middle-income country. Here are three answers to the question, “Why is Brazil poor?”

1. Inequality of Land Distribution

According to USAID, inequality of land distribution is a major factor contributing to poverty levels in Brazil. Brazil’s poor have inadequate access to desirable land, and NPR reported in 2015 that one percent of the population controls 50 percent of all the land in Brazil.

This means that 2 million people (out of a total population of 210 million) control half of the country’s entire square footage. The other 99 percent have little access to land ownership, making it difficult to improve their economic status. Brazil is one of the most unequal places in the world when it comes to land distribution.

2. Education

Claudia Gostin, the education secretary for the city of Rio de Janeiro, told the Global Post that Brazil has educational apartheid taking place in its country. Apartheid is a system that separates people on the basis of color, ethnicity or class. Brazilian schools are separated by class and one could also argue race.

(...)

3. Corruption

According to the World Factbook, Brazil’s economy has been affected by several corruption scandals involving private companies and government officials. Penalties against the companies involved — some of the largest in Brazil — limited their business opportunities, producing a ripple effect on associated businesses and contractors.

In addition, investment in these companies also declined due to scandals. This is in turn has had a negative effect on the country’s poor population because companies involved in the scandals cut jobs.

Poverty increased during the pandemic in Brazil, according to “New Poverty Map,” a study by FGV Social, based on data from the Continuous National Household Sampling Survey (PNADC), published by the national statistics agency, IBGE. The study says that in 2021, 62.9 million Brazilians or 29.6% of the country’s population had a monthly per capita income of up to R$497. In the space of two years, between 2019 and 2021, 9.6 million people saw their income drop and joined the group of Brazilians living in poverty.

“In 2021, poverty in Brazil reached its highest level since PNADC was created in 2012, capping off a lost decade. In our study, we demonstrate that poverty peaked in 2021 across various areas, income groups, poverty thresholds and other indicators,” says economist Marcelo Neri, the director of FGV Social.
