Unlikelly. Bolsonaro has nothing to offer that the Orange Menace wants, not to mention that by being indicted, Bolsonaros' passport was confiscated a year ago, and he's under surveilance by the Federal Police.

What amazes me is, my country is infamous for it's corruption and impunity, especially for politicians, but we're nearly convicting an ex-president, while such "beacon of democracy" (/s), the US, is quickly decaying into a banana republic.

Depends of which currency you're talking about. Brazilian Reais ? Sure. Minimum wage here is R$ 18k/yr, so that would be about 4x that. US Dollars ? Pretty hard, unless you're on executive levels.

But... Cost of living here is much lower than in US. Take food for example. A Discord friend from Colorado showed me a picture of a carton of eggs... US$ 7.50 for a dozen. Here in Brazil for that price you could buy around 50 or 60 eggs. Buying or renting a home is way cheaper too, fuel costs are lower, because our cars can run on Ethanol, which is 40% cheaper that Gasoline, we don't have to spend money on heating or heavy winter clothes (except for the 3 southern states, but it still cheaper than northern US. The coldest those states get around 25F).

Sure, electronics and cars are a bit more expensive, same for some luxury goods. But even with those things costing more, with wages close to the equivalent of US$ 30k, you can have a standard of living that in the US would require closer to US$ 100k.

I see more and more people moving to Bluesky, which means Xitter is becoming less and less relevant by the day. Except for nazi shitheads, that is.

You haven't been following the downfall of Twitter, have you ?

Or those dumpster fires that are the SSybertruck an Teska Semi, right?

Or how he got his ass fired from PayPall because he wanted to use Windows Server instead of Linux to run the service?

Elons incompetence has been showing for a while.

Yup. Thanks to those controls and a federal program called "My home, My life" that I managed to buy a condo on a nice neighborhood for around $50k. By coincidence, it's across the street from the labour union founded by our current president, Lula. Sometimes he visits the place to make speeches, so I get to see him :-)

Here in Brazil you can, but we have ways to curb real estate speculation, the government can force owners to rent or sell properties that are idle, this helps keep the prices under control. On top of that, mortgages for ones first home is strictly regulated, especially in terms of how much interest can be charged.

Becoming ? Ask anyone in Central and South Americas about it. We've been subjected to American terroristic interventionism for almost century. It's always been a risk.

Stalin joined the allies after Hitler attacked the USSR, becoming a temporary "good guy" out of spite for the Nazis.

The Orange Menace is impervious to kompromat. You can only blackmail people who have shame, and Asshole in Chief has absolutely none. Whatsoever. He himself said that he could shoot a man in the middle of Times Square and not lose a single vote, which is absolutely true. His voters actually want a shameless criminal in the White House, because this legitimizes their own awful behaviour. I can't think of any kind of kompromat that Putler could use against someone like that.
