Boohoo. Fascist MAGA Republicans are miffed at being called out by Biden
Want to know how desperate the swamp is to stop Trump running again?…read this ‘opinion piece’ by ROBIN ABCARIAN for the LA Times!
‘Make no mistake, MAGA Republicans do lean into fascism.
They worship former President Trump, a racist immigrant-basher who tried to overturn a free and fair election to stay in office illegally.’
Here’s another one of her opinion pieces for the LA Times:
Far-right European racist anti-semite strongman’ speaks to CPAC
“I can already see tomorrow’s headlines,” Orban said after the right-wing crowd welcomed him with an ovation. " ’Far-right European racist, and antisemite strongman — the Trojan horse of Putin — holds speech at conservative conference.”
Well, Mr. Orban, I really could not have put it better myself.
Except you left out a few important nouns: homophobe, populist, white Christian nationalist, xenophobe and, of course, darling of authoritarian-loving Tucker Carlson and Fox News.’
Remember…vote rigging outfit Smartmatic counted the votes in LA in 2020…just sayin’.
Briefing on the upcoming consultative meeting of the BTWC member States
This been on the BBC yet?
‘On the initiative of the Russian Federation, consultative meeting of the member States of the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological and Toxin Weapons will be hosted in the upcoming week regarding non-compliance with the obligations of the USA and Ukraine within the abovementioned international treaty. The event will include presentation of documentary evidence of the violation of the articles I and IV within the convention on their part.’
The raid against Bolsonaro coup backers and the fight against authoritarianism in Brazil
It’s getting dirty in Brazil ahead of the election next month…the swamp is in a right tizz.
‘A group of eight businessmen backers of Brazil’s fascistic President Jair Bolsonaro became the target, on August 23, of a search and seizure warrant issued by the Supreme Court (STF) Justice and current president of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), Alexandre de Moraes.’
Brazil’s Supreme Court may well be the most corrupt of them all, here’s a bit more.
‘The STF in its current state has pursued similar cases against conservatives for years. In 2019, Alexandre de Moraes ordered the magazine Crusoé to unpublish an article in which journalists accused the then-chief justice of the court, Dias Toffoli, of involvement with the corrupt contracting firm Odebrecht, at the heart of the “Operation Car Wash” scandal that resulted in the resignations or arrests of dozens of politicians.’
In an article I wrote covering past elections, we learn:
‘Dias Toffoli, a mediocre and obscure lawyer and Workers’ Party hack, is appointed to the Supreme Court; and in May 2014[2] assumes the presidency of the Supreme Voting Court, which coordinates and judges all matters regarding the elections. Yes, a former party lawyer is the chief of the elections.’
Also that he was nominated to the Supreme Court by ex President Lula (jailed), and was its President until Sept 2020. The current President, Luiz Fux, was nominated by ex President Dilma Rousseff (impeached).
Back to the original article, it seems there’s a big demonstration on Sept 7th in which:
‘The president and his supporters have called on their fascist ranks to take to the streets “for the last time,” with a main march organized in Rio de Janeiro to coincide with a massive military parade.’
‘Notably, the United States accepted an invitation to join the Brazilian Navy parade in Copacabana. Three days later, the US military will participate in the Unitas naval exercise with 20 other countries in Rio de Janeiro and will send in advance two warships for Brazil’s Independence Day.’
Could be an interesting day…
