Greater MAGA is having a truly sh-t day, brothers and sisters. Praise be.
Vucic gets routed in Serbia, and Lula prevails in Brazil. Not what Trump world wanted nine days out from our election here.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.
Analysis Update:
Betting markets think Lula is favored because the states are swinging to Lula in the 2nd round compared to the 1st.
Both Kalshi and Polymarket have Lula winning the election right now.

The Executive Branch has no authority to regulate states’ election decisions as to candidate qualifications, and the choice to file a lawsuit like this just days before an election speaks volumes about the political corruption festering at the top levels of the DOJ.

Man, @ericmgarcia.bsky.social was really cooking w/ this one. And a lot of uwould be well served to kind of wrap your head around this. I wish that more people in red states understood how many GOP policies hurt them, but alas🤷♂️

Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting.

- Called both choices “the same” or “they both suck”

Let me be crystal clear: everything happening in this country currently ain’t got SHIT to do with me! I didn’t vote for this. ANY of the 3 times!
