Here's one that got away. Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs. Polishing steps and keeping out of the fights. Com lenco, sem documento....

A few thoughts on Flávio Bolsonaro's runaway week, now that he has arrived in Miami. For those following this circus from abroad, some of the context seems to be getting lost. There is more behind his departure than just the fact that he lost the election. 1/...

Reading posts by foreigners about Brazil, I get the impression that you're not aware of the full extent of the accusations against Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, or of the available evidence of his corruption. So I'd like to kindly invite you to really get to know Flávio. A thread 🧵🇧🇷

"O Messi, além do encantamento, gera o número. Além dele encantar com golaços, decidir jogos importantes, decidir clássicos, fazer coisas maravilhosas, ele fazia 60, 70 gols por temporada. Um negócio surreal. Puxa a corda pra cima. A forma do Cristiano conseguir rivalizar com o Messi, pois não conseguiria rivalizar no encantamento, foi mudar um pouco de posição. Ficar mais perto do gol e virou um obcecado pelos números. A rivalidade se criou muito por isso. O Cristiano conseguiu cinco Bolas de Ouro jogando na mesma época do Messi. Sendo que pra mim, em termos de bola, o Messi é superior. As pessoas tendem a achar que é um demérito, não é. Você conseguir rivalizar com o Messi no auge é uma coisa impressionante." 🎙️ Nelson Coltro #FutebolEmContexto

You'll find the answers (or an attempt at them) on my thread. The truth will set you free!!
Something about Brazil’s election results just doesn’t add up. How does a candidate win the first round, only to lose the runoff by more than 4 MILLION votes? The Brazilian people deserve answers.

"Eu acho que outra coisa que a gente acabou importando dos esportes norte-americanos, é muito mais fácil transformar tudo em número. Futebol é um esporte que tem mais fluidez. O que encanta muitas vezes não é o que você faz, é como você faz. Isso é difícil colocar no número. Uma vez estava no Maracanã, ao lado de uma equipe, e eram pessoas, não inteligência artificial, colando as estatísticas do jogo. Então um falava: 'passe certo do jogador sete'. Eu assistindo o jogo, pensava: 'esse passe foi uma droga'. Chegou no jogador vestindo a camisa da mesma cor, mas ele é canhoto e chegou no pé direito. Foi um passe de três metros, mas foi tão perto que chamou a marcação e tinha uma opção na diagonal que teria sido melhor. É uma frieza que tira um pouco a beleza da fluidez do futebol, que é um diferencial em cima dos outros esportes" 🎙️ @Tim_Vickery #FutebolEmContexto

The swing was evident early in the day, when the results came in from Brazilians voting abroad (in person). Same kind of swing everywhere - and the extention (requested by both sides) hás almost no relevance- 35,000 votes in a margin of over 4 million.
I am sorry to say, but this looks quite uniform – a continuous field – which makes it consistent and believable… Even the few pockets of blue arrows, apart from a handful of isolated cases that look like mistakes, are surrounded by smaller pink arrows. Fraud would look differently (we’ve seen examples of that in local elections even in Poland over the years) – it is difficult to make fraud look so uniform – there would be places where it wouldn’t happen, distributed across the nation… The extension of voting hours looks very suspicious, but it doesn’t seem to have had that much of an effect, given that the shift is quite uniform…

You will struggle to read anything more idiotic
They extended voting for two hours for the first time in Brazils history, and Bolsonaro lost his lead. Brazil is a hellhole of socialism.

The ignorance of this. Do a little research Who is Lula's running mate? It's a mild version of social democracy in a capitalist economy. Public discourse matters. Please don't cheapen it with stuff like this

I live in Brazil and have made ZERO election-related market recommendations. Bolsonaro is an absolute idiot. Any normal boss or business owner would find it utterly disgusting to mock a worker for losing a finger on the job in a factory. Coming from a daddy’s boy who has never worked outside politics? Oh, my... 🤦‍♂️
