We just need someone to leak the unredacted Epstein files.

Here is some snippets of what's in the Birthday book. They've covered the faces, but it it's not great. I've put a trigger warning on the young girl and toddler, but the rest is okay, you won't see anything unless you read it or really look at it. This is just what I've gone through so far, I could only take so much.

In section called children and he isn't known to have any children

underage maybe?

That boat story is some Dennis Reynolds shit.

Except there are no implications with a knife, that's straight up rape.

Smells like someone who never learned to write basic English because their rich parents paid to get them into Ivy League.

The same type that constitute the United States Cabinet?

If we're lucky, it'll result in a stroke or heart attack.

When Jean-Marine Le Pen (founder of French far-right political party) died, French people went out into the public squares dancing, waving French flags, popping champagne, and loudly cheering "the racist is dead!".

I have already procured a bottle of what here can legally only be called sparkling wine, and I'm ready to pop it any day now.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

But then again, him dying didn't in any real way stop FN, so there's that...

A country where politicians who make coup attempts are punished rather than elected again?

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They learned their lesson the hard way. We might too.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It really isn't a lesson a country should have to learn, don't let people who commit treason be your leader! Do people need to learn not to date known rapists?

Supreme Courts are allowed to find their 70-year-old racist presidents guilty of attempting to overthrow the government?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 32 points 5 days ago

Only in countries that don't have a heritage foundation/ federalist society equivalent that has been stacking their court systems with rubber stamp fascists.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Supreme Courts yes. Supreme Clownshows, apparently not.

I remember americans calling Brazil a shithole in the MMOs I played. Oh how the turntables

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 28 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Brazil - gettin’ shit done.

The punishment for an attempted coup here is that you have to be president again.

[–] ruan@lemmy.eco.br 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Being honest, there's still a long way to go here. Next year's elections will be very important for Brazil. But, 4 years of Trump, then 4 years of Bolsonaro, then Trump again now, that's a lot of damage, and some people that I don't see leaving the cult. Access to bias confirming "news" channels (mostly through social networks, there are plenty propaganda groups in WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and lately TikTok, and also YouTube Channels) makes some people seem to be living in a different universe.

With tech companies profiting lots of political "controversy", US big tech companies having a big predominance in Brazil, and also tech companies being used as a state political discourse dominance weapon we are pretty much at their mercy. META can definetly skew elections to a candidate of their own, or to the "least damaging" candidate to their interests, and there's no way for the Brazilian governement, be it executive body, justice system, or congress to do anything about it. So the tendency is to everytime more and more legislators to be sided with the tech companies objectives, which ARE ALL FOREIGN companies, and that IS definetly very detrimental for any kind of actual democracy.

And, of course, the current tech companies aligned legislators, and most proeminent "right wing" prospects for presidential run next year, are all sided with Bolsonaro (that, for me, makes all of them extreme right wing candidates) because that guarantees them only chance to having an actual significant amount of votes, since hardcore Bolsonaro supporters makes at least 20-30% of the population. All those candidates basically have pledged to give Bolsonaro an amnesty, and current Bolsonaro supporters in the congress are trying eveyday to passando new laws to favor him too (and remembering that most supreme court judges have already declared that an amnesty for the coup attempt would be unconstitutional), however the next president will also be able to appoint 3 other judges for the supreme court, and Bolsonaro has currently appointed two of the 11 judges, that could give Bolsonaro a chance of having an amnesty either by the president or the congress.

TL;DR: There's still a lot of shit to be done here, and the right wing extremist wave is definetly not going away easily.

My guy, thanks for the thoughtful reply. Much appreciated

QUE DEUS O ELEMINE AMÉM

Muito melhor do que mostrar pro mundo a superioridade do nosso futebol é criar tendencia de como defender a república. Essa noite aqueles que se importam com a democracia nos olham com admiração. Lutemos para que isso seja o prenúncio de um futuro democrático e do império da lei.

AQUI É BRASIL, CARALHO! 🇧🇷

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 11 points 5 days ago

Can we get some of that here? Sadly our motivated assassins are doing neck shots on influencers and missing the actual threats.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 12 points 5 days ago

Wow, can you imagine if a former president of the Untied States attempted a coup? Surely such a treasonous act would be prosecuted with the utmost severity.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago

Good, let's hope this causes Trump to have another stroke.

[–] Jolly_Platypus@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

tfw Brazil has a stronger democracy than the U.S.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

US has always been a right wing country, both parties are basically a uniparty. both right wing parties(one center right, and one far right). center right on occasion allows the likes of AOC, and bernie to seem "legitimate" in thier party. we're actually closer to RUSSIA than people like to admit, and many GOP states already reached there already

[–] Jolly_Platypus@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Country was pretty far left during the 30s. The communists and labor unions got us the new deal.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

More uplifting news.

The pictures of him weeping make me so happy.

What a little bitch.

Hey OP, the article you linked actually says that four of five found him guilty, one wanted to acquit. Reuters, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, FAZ, NYT, Folha and Estadão all say it was four votes.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

an appropiate punishment would be using pineapples.

Good. 3/5 is concerning though

[–] coriza@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The article says 4 out of 5. Maybe OP was mistaken or the article corrected at some point.

[–] argarath@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

The article updated since they posted, now there's even the length of the sentence, 27 years and some odd months

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

wait, so, he's actually going to face consequences? or is he getting reelected?

I thought you were just supposed to let coup attempters off Scot free to try again until they eventually overthrow your democracy.
