Parallels and divergences

Brazil's Supreme Electoral Court has reached the majority it needs to bar former president Jair Bolsonaro from public office until 2030 for his conduct during last year's fraught election.

Key points:

Former president Jair Bolsonaro denies any wrongdoing and says he plans to appeal against the verdict
The lead judge accused Bolsonaro of endangering the credibility of Brazil's electoral system using lies
Bolsonaro is also facing multiple criminal investigations that could put him behind bars

Five out of seven justices voted to convict Bolsonaro for abuse of power and misuse of the media last year, when he summoned ambassadors to vent unfounded claims about Brazil's electronic voting system.

It’s just blatant.

Trump wants you to believe him over your own ears
Even the aftermath of the "Access Hollywood" tape didn't prompt such obvious lies from the former president.

Lab test confirms white powder found at White House is cocaine
Secret Service review of visitor logs and surveillance cameras will seek to determine how drug came to be in the West Wing

A formal laboratory test of a white powder found in a “highly-trafficked” area of the White House has been confirmed as cocaine, NBC News reported on Wednesday, citing an unnamed official with knowledge of the investigation.

A Secret Service review of visitor logs and surveillance cameras will seek to determine how the cocaine, described as being in a small, zippered bag, came to be in the executive mansion.

On Sunday, the discovery prompted an evacuation of the White House. A preliminary field test by the DC fire department indicated the substance was cocaine.

“We have a yellow bar saying cocaine hydrochloride,” a radio dispatch from the White House said.

Initial reports said the cocaine was found in a reference library, but later reports said it was in “a work area” of the West Wing, which is attached to the mansion that houses the president and his family, the Oval Office, the cabinet room, the press briefing room and offices for staff.

CBS News, citing law enforcement sources, reported that the cocaine was found in a facility used by White House staff and guests to store phones. The Secret Service indicated it was found by officers during “routine patrols”.

The number of people who use the area could make it difficult to determine who was responsible for the substance, NBC said. By Wednesday afternoon, no one had claimed responsibility.

The discovery of the drug prompted widespread speculation. Joe Biden and his family were not in residence at the time.

The first family, including the president’s son Hunter Biden, who described his battle with addiction in a recent autobiography, returned to the residence on Tuesday.

If it's one of those phone boxes, they are like PO boxes with the keys sticking in them. People come in, put their phone or electronic device in there, take the key for the day. When they go home, they put the key back in and get their stuff. On the ones I've seen, there isn't a way to match a box with a person, they are just meant to be used while someone is working in an area that doesn't allow phones or Bluetooth devices.

Yes, most likely they have it on camera and are going through the video now.

Trump Begins to Sour on 'Spotlight Hound' Kari Lake for VP

Big surprise.

If he does go for a female veep, if he gets that far, it will be somebody who, ahem, "knows her place."

[Mr brolin]

To quote from the article

“She’s a shameless, ruthless demagogue who wants power and will do whatever she has to do to get it,” a Trump adviser told The Daily Beast.

Two Trump advisers who spoke to The Daily Beast said the heart of Trump’s frustration with Lake is that, in his eyes, she always wants attention.

As one of the advisers put it, she’s a “spotlight hound.”

Foolish bunny Kari, she's forgotten the primary rules of Trumpistan

"Thou shalt not be a bigger fascist than the Glorious Leader, All power is His and His alone."

"Those who divert the camera from the Glorious One are lower than a serpents belly and shall be cast into the outer darkness"

[jemcanada2]

Big surprise.

But but, remember this famous moment?!

McEnany breaks with Trump: ‘No way’ cocaine at White House is Hunter Biden’s

Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany threw cold water on the suggestion the cocaine found at The White House over the holiday weekend could have belonged to Hunter Biden, the president’s son.

“For it to be Hunter Biden, he left on Friday, he was at Camp David. There is no way, it is inconceivable to think cocaine could sit for a 72-hour period [at The White House], so I would rule him out at this point.” McEnany, who is a Fox News host, said Thursday on the network’s flagship morning talk program.

News broke earlier this week that a suspicious white powder was found in an area of the White House during a routine sweep. After further testing, the powder was confirmed to be cocaine, the Secret Service said.

On Wednesday, former President Trump, who McEnany worked for, lashed out at the media over coverage of the story and suggested the cocaine belonged to Hunter Biden, who has publicly chronicled his history of drug use.

“Does anybody really believe that the COCAINE found in the West Wing of the White House, very close to the Oval Office, is for the use of anyone other than Hunter & Joe Biden,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social website.

I remember - the airports - they had the bestest in those days - no congestion - nothin'

The bombers back then didn't need reinforced runways, they had that big, wooden wheel landing gear.

Which is obviously the way Joe and Hunter Biden go into the West Wing, so it had to be their cocaine...

It's more likely to be a reporter, possibly from Fox News, Newsmax or OAN than Hunter Biden.

It would be just delicious if it turned out be Chanel Rion or Peter Doocy.
