Brazilian court rejects election challenge from outgoing President Jair Bolsonaro

[Chief Justice] also ordered Bolsonaro’s right-wing Liberal Party to pay a fine of 22 million reais ($4.1 million) for “bad faith litigation.”

1. Good news

To the Brazilian courts.

[Zambero]

2. Steve Bannon to the rescue!

When does he announce taking up a collection to pay off this fine? He's very trustworthy after all!

[JohnSJ]

6. Better yet, when does Bannon start serving his sentence. He is a

worthless maggot

3. Good news for now...

…but I suspect this court case was only laying the pretext for a military coup before the end of the year.

4. The Right Wing Party In Brazil Is Called The Liberal Party?

What the fuck?

[Zambero]

7. Liberal means free

And conservative once pointed to caution and not radicalism. There was a time when the two terms were not mutually exclusive in terms of what comprised a functional political system. As for Brazil, the use of "liberal" as a misappropriation of reality would not be the first time demagogues labeled their political party or movement as something that it is not. Hitler's Nazi party incorporated "Socialist", and even today many totalitarian governments operate under the banner of "Democratic" or "Republic". False labeling as a means of generating or maintaining popular support, or for outright propaganda purposes is nothing new.

8. Liberalism isn't generally a left-wing ideology.

Certainly not economic liberalism.

9. In Russia, there's an ultra-nationalist party called the Liberal Democrats.

Started by the late Vladimir Zhirnovsky back in the 90s.

They’re to the right of even Putin.

Labels can be meaningless.
