billymg: BingoBoingo: not sure if this was mentioned already or if you saw it: the deep state seems to be working out in the open in brazil http://archive.is/A8DLb
BingoBoingo: billymg: tyvm. I've been following the situation a bit, but this seems quite the inflection point
thimbronion: Time for a military coup.
billymg: BingoBoingo: i wasn't even aware that it was brewing, though i did see the clip of bolsonaro where he said brazilian citizens should be armed to avoid dictatorship
BingoBoingo: billymg: The virus hysteria has largely removed Jair from the levers of power in Brasil to to his reasonable position on things. He's long had the Trump like problem where the commies and local media branded themselves "the rebellion"
BingoBoingo: thimbronion: If it wasn't for his position on the virus hysteria, military coup would give the levers of power back to Jair. Now... Hard to say
billymg: BingoBoingo: pointing out that everyone is overreacting to the virus lost him favor with the military? or lost him support with the bovine population?
BingoBoingo: billymg: It put the regional governors into a de facto state of rebellion. Given the mass hysteria it is very hard to tell whether the military would still be loyal to Bolsonaro
BingoBoingo: They surely wouldn't restore Lula, but they might present themselves as a "third way"
thimbronion: How gay is the Brazillian military?
thimbronion: I guess we could check Glenn Greenwald's dating history.
billymg: lulz
BingoBoingo: lol
BingoBoingo: Generally speaking Portuguese has the hazard of making any man sound gay.
