FlΓ‘vio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

So much for the myth that Republicans are 'good for the economy.' The only rationale for voting Republican this time around -- with Trump "on the ballot" (in his own words) -- is if you value bigotry and hate so much that you are willing to forego economic wellbeing.

Same happened in Ontario. I think that if you don't vote you should have no right to provincial benefits. Just saying, perhaps this would be a way to get the lazy off their ass.

dlvr.itConservatives to take power after nearly a century in BCThe Conservative Party will form the next government of British Columbia. The Conservative Party won a majority government, winning 63 of the 93 seats. The BC NDP, which had held power, had a dismal result, winning only 28 seats. The BC Green Party won two seats. Lorne Doerkson will become British Columbia’s next premier. David Eby retained his seat but announced he would resign as the leader of the BC NDP. The election appears to have been a political gamble by David Eby due to turmoil...

For every moron that voted conservative in BC today you deserve every rotten thing they will do to you & your community. Within 18 months the separatists will descend & you can feel the divide like Alberta has. No pride flags allowed. Some book banning. Oversight in municipalities. Lies daily. Enjoy

Bit of a long story. My short take : Eby. Everything is expensive as usual, Eby is a good guy, but not really a very good politician. Big deficits. Health care problems. Oppo took advantage Failed to read the mood of the electorate. & couldn’t connect. imo Eby personally has to take the blame.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Another stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian students voted out their authoritarian leadership after months of protests against corruption, taking their fight from the streets to the ballot box and turning people power into political power.

Serbia to Trump: Drop Dead.

As Trump proclaims that he is happy oil prices are high, adding "I don't give a damn, I'm gonna say it: We're making a frickin fortune," remember that the 'we' refers to Trump, his family, and his donors. 99% of American people are suffering, the Trump only cares about himself and his donors.

The second good news this afternoon! Vuvic's defeat is particularly important since one of the main catalysts for his ouster was his corrupt deal allowing the Trump family to tear down national monuments to erect tacky playgrounds for the ultra-wealthy.

A Catholic nun poses a gotcha question to Vance! I love it! This should be publicized widely to continually expose that little smarmy, sleazy hypocrite. Oh, and, thanks, JD, for, in telling the Pope to mind his own beeswax, you announced that Trump is indeed a godless DICTATOR!
