Neither the consequences nor the astonishing nature of this victory are being discussed enough.
If Bolsonaro had won, Brazil would be the enforcer of Trump's 'Donroe doctrine' in Latin America. It would have withdrawn from BRICS, & sold its critical minerals to the US Lula's win ensures Brazil's advocacy of a fairer, more multipolar world and more rhyming of development with decarbonization.

I’m seeing people reacting by pointing out that he’s obviously wrong. I appreciate that, but it’s also a pointless exercise. The problem isn’t that he’s wrong. The problem is that this is normal in American politics — and it’s been normal for a while.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Abdul El-Sayed: You've probably seen a lot of folks trying to get you to question my love of this country. But let me be clear. No one understands the promise of America like someone who understands exactly what America gave me. I love America enough to call on her to be America for all of her kids.

Abbott’s connection to a handful of Muslims shows that he doesn’t believe Muslims are a threat & is instead using anti-Muslim rhetoric to “excite his base," says Sumbel Zeb, a Muslim political strategist. As for his donors, getting a seat at the table “is just about their self interest," she says.
Todd Blanche is standing right fucking there. Also: he looks like shit.
WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

Adjusted for inflation, this is ten times the value of Fall's bribe in the Teapot Dome scandal.
My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

The statement exposed the ADL as "a deeply unserious organization that has drifted far away from its stated mission, and one that has lost all credibility."

Today we launch the first episode of my podcast. I interviewed Whitney Mitchell, whose fiancé and caretaker Garrett Foster was murdered at a BLM protest in 2020. Foster's killer was convicted by a jury and given a 25-year sentence. Then Texas Gov. Greg Abbott pardoned him.

Considering that every Democratic politician and liberal pundit needs to go on record in disavowing Hasan Piker, should the same standard be held towards Kid Rock after these comments? Especially since he is fully campaigning for Mike Rogers right now?
Kid Rock goes full Islamophobic bigot while talking about Abdul El-Sayed on Fox News: "I know he looks assimilated... I would be very careful. Guess who else assimilated? The Fort Hood shooter. Guess who else assimilated? Pilots that flew airplanes into our World Trade Centers!"

it is fun. sitting here. watching them probe our congresswoman. after they stole our neighbors. after they killed our neighbors. waiting for what comes next and the example they want to make of us.
Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

With Trump openly admitting his announced Russia-Ukraine “energy ceasefire” was nothing more than words out of his mouth—no actual ceasefire, not even words from Ukraine or Russia that they’re violating, just empty BS—can the press finally stop with headlines presenting his pronouncements as fact?
Q: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire, but both sides said they have not agreed to that TRUMP: Well they agreed, you know why? Because I said 'you agree.' That's why.

Looking forward to the same scrutiny being impartially applied to Elon Musk and Melania Trump, whose immigration documents are much much worse than anything alleged about Omar's father
When Dems talk about the Ilhan Omar situation, they need to stop using language that implies that Omar might have done anything wrong. Trump is not "investigating" Omar. They are trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting Congressmember by scrutinizing decades old paperwork from when she was a kid

She condemned the Biden U.S. arms deal with Israel, and as retaliation the Biden administration opened an investigation against her. The Trump administration is actually piggybacking off that Democratic investigation. Both parties are cesspools of Islamophobia.
Another reason to be thankful, on this Canadian Thanksgiving, that I'm north of the border. It would perhaps be edifying, however, to inquire exactly where the fuck the Democratic Congressional "Leadership" is. Oh, wait, silly me, she's Muslim so they won't lift a finger to help her.

This would sink a presidency in any other era. I would bet most Americans will never hear it even happened.

Hey remember when courts started deciding that if you buy your kid a gun and they use it to kill a bunch of people that you are also legally responsible? Anyway just thinking about that for no reason.

Your regular reminder that the job of an ICE officer is dramatically safer than the job of a regular cop, such that not a single ICE deportation officer has been killed in the line of duty since 1949 (and that was actually a stabbing inside an INS jail in Hawaii, not street enforcement).
This ICE agent’s entire Instagram feed, “shooter.914,” is guns, watches, energy drinks, and alcohol.

Universities bring in foreign students ... to undercut the wages of American residents? What? This is exactly backwards. Foreign students subsidize the tuition of American students. I wonder why the VP who follows Nazis online has this all wrong. Probably an innocent, non-racist mistake.
Vance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."
