Hundreds of thousands of people clad in Brazilian national team jerseys waving flags of the South American country and also of Israel gathered Sunday at Sao Paulo's Paulista Avenue to support former President Jair Messias Bolsonaro, who has been disenfranchised until 2030 and whose passport has been seized by the Supreme Federal Court (STF), thus banning him from traveling abroad except to neighboring nations where his ID card would be a valid document.

    As a wry Charles de Gaulle observed, “Brazil is the country of the future… and always will be.”

    As Brazil perhaps breaks away from Lula, the USA will certainly elect Trump.

    Former President Bolsonaro, who has been disenfranchised until 2030 and whose passport has been seized by the Supreme Federal Court, thus banning him from traveling as another reason to highlight; the similar injustices occuring in the USA with Donald Trump.

    Despite the current political situations in both countries, I expect both former Presidents to regain thier offices.

    Much of the voters clearly see the injustice occuring.

    There is a great time for serious change and I hope voters embrace MAGA!

    Fascists don't grow here.

    At the height of the event there were 180 thousand people filling 7 blocks of Avenida Paulista. People coming from all parts of Brazil, mostly white, male and wealthy.

    I guarantee you that center-left parties will rule Brazil for the next 20 years. We are the majority, spread throughout the country. We are nationalists who would never carry a foreign flag in our protests.

    From the “Devil's Dictionary” by Ambrose Bierce :

    “ PATRIOTISM, n. Combustible rubbish ready to the torch of any one ambitious to illuminate his name.
    In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first. ” ;)

    It's amusing that Skippy raised his ignorance of the overall political will to elect Trump once again.

    He should stay at his mother's basement and repent for his scandalous false valour pretentious claims.

    Although I admire Brasileiro for his remarkable country, his political ideology is completely wrong.

    Meanwhile our grape harvest is it's peak.

    He well may live with his mother, but he didn't steal anything, otherwise you`d be able prove it. But can't because your a malignant narcissist.

    “The essence — and biggest danger — of malignant narcissism is that it keeps growing, like malignant cancer. Fromm wrote: “It is a madness that tends to grow in the lifetime of the afflicted person. The more he tries to be a god, the more he isolates himself from the human race; this isolation makes him more frightened, everybody becomes his enemy, and in order to stand the resulting fright he has to increase his power, his ruthlessness, and his narcissism.”

    I don't have to prove anything, it you claiming he isn`t, it's your assertion, and your burden of proof.
    Incidentally, history shows he was first to state that saying.

    ”A thumb is a digit, but not technically a finger.“
    https ://www.grammarly.com/blog/thumb-a-finger-usage/

    ”Thumb Anatomy

    To understand why the thumb is not a finger, we first need to look at the anatomy of the hand. The human hand has five digits, each with three bones called phalanges. These bones are connected to the metacarpal bones in the palm of the hand. Four of the digits (index, middle, ring, and little) have three phalanges each, while the thumb has only two. Additionally, the thumb’s two phalanges are connected by a single joint, while the fingers all have two joints.
    This unique structure gives the thumb a wide range of motion and makes it more dexterous than the fingers. The thumb can move up and down, side to side, and can even rotate, allowing us to grasp and manipulate objects in a way that the fingers cannot.”

    Are you serious? Bierce wrote that statement as a joke. Bierce is known for some of the darkest humor, and “Devils Dictionary” and the “Fantastic Fables” are an enlightening send up of human nature. All I can say is get a life, and try to pay attention... ;)

    Malignant Narcissism
    https ://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/narcissism-demystified/201905/what-exactly-is-malignant-narcissism

    ”Narcissists are often ill-equipped to have mature discussions or resolve conflicts yet in their mind they are experts at it. As a result, they often use some terms, arguments, or techniques that they've heard about yet don't really understand, all while thinking that they are being rational, reasonable, or correct. Sometimes to the degree that they become extremely upset or even aggressive that you are being irrational, unreasonable, uneducated, and unwilling or unable to have a mature conversation.


    Meanwhile in reality, what they're saying is simply an incoherent rant or an amalgamation of logical and argumentation fallacies, misrepresentation of you, factual errors, emotional language, or pure nonsense (as in something that literally makes no sense). In more extreme cases it is called word salad, as in a mix of words that are just thrown together with no coherence or structure.“
    https ://psychcentral.com/blog/psychology-self/2018/08/narcissist-arguing#2

    Narcissists crave for attention and want to be the center of it. They need it so bad they can taste it and would do anything /brag, boast, exaggerate stories
    https ://iheartintelligence.com/signs-youre-dealing-with-narcissist/

    For some, their grandiosity and protection of their fragile ”true self” can be at such extreme levels that they will lie and give the impression that simply because they say it, that makes it reality. Many will become angered if their lies are challenged with truth or facts. Of course, this can create problems for the people close to them, as this pattern of behavior can easily veer into gaslighting.

    The “honor of this cold war warrior” has been stolen by Skippy Jessop, residing in Utah.

    “honor of this cold war warrior” has been stolen by Skippy Jessop”

    Your 'sock puppet' was never here, and you are not all here.

    ”The concept of malignant narcissism was expanded by psychiatrist Otto Kernberg, who termed it a toxic combination of four highly dysfunctional traits and behaviors:

    1. Narcissism, with its grandiosity, lack of empathy, need for attention, and sense of entitlement.
    2. Antisocial behavior, with its lack of remorse, destructive and impulsive behavior, deceitfulness, and disregard for and violation of the rights of others.
    3. Paranoid thinking, with its sense of persecution, difficulty trusting others, preoccupation with others' loyalty, tendency to bear grudges, and tendency to view benign actions of others as attempts at deception or exploitation.
    4. Sadism, with its cruelty, efforts to humiliate or manipulate others, and (you wish)deriving enjoyment from others' pain and suffering.”

    “The inability to even count the fingers on one hand.”

    So you claim, but where is it's use in ordinary publications? i.e newspaper's, journals, or published novels.
    I can´t find any such instance, and you can't either. So your 'often referred to collectively´, appears to be decidedly lacking.

    You stick with your Wikipedia. Why'll I'll rely on a grammarian.

    “A thumb is a digit, but not technically a finger.”
    https://www.grammarly.com/blog/thumb-a-finger-usage/

    Your 'fraud by omission', as the citation you are relying on specifically.
    nullifies any and all of your claims. As “A man cannot be permitted to take advantage of his own wrong.”

    Yet another religious reference to ‘10 fingers’:

    https://bible.org/article/bible-teaching-ideas-ten-commandments-and-ten-fingers

    5. “Honor your father and your mother.” Hold up all five fingers on one hand as if you are taking a pledge, to honor your parents.

    7. “You shall not commit adultery.” Hold one hand out flat. The five fingers and hand becomes the floor of the church.

    9. “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” Hold up all five fingers on one hand

    10. “Do not covet what belongs to your neighbor.” Hold out your hands, palms up, and wiggle all ten fingers

    The Bible itself actually refers to 12 fingers:

    2 Samuel 21:20
    20 And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.

    1 Chronicles 20:6
    6 And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot and he also was the son of the giant.

    “The Bible itself actually refers to 12 fingers”

    Religious treatises are not an authoritative source of English grammar, since grammar is not 'faith-driven'.
    So your animus as an enabler acting on behalf of a malignant narcissist, and other enablers against myself; is well documented on this site. Your 'brown-nosing' was so 'self-evident' that you earned yourself the sobriquet 'Clinker' (“dried feces attached to the hairs of the buttocks”)
