Oh, yes, this is a huge problem with Congress, too. It's more apparent with the President, who gets a private jet or three, but you're right about this.

Parece que a família Bolsonaro tem a sua própria Tiffany Trump. Excelente.

This is part of my vocabulary now.

Oh, that is nuance that I would NOT have picked up on!!! Love it!

I think other countries are far more casual with expletives than we are in the States.

I'm starting to gather that.

This is the real story. Taxpayers are footing the bill when presidents stump for candidates. It's not just Trump but he's doing a LOT of it.

Então, como alguém de fora, tem muita coisa que eu não sei. Será que existe algum dos filhos do Bolsonaro que não seja um completo idiota? Digo, toda família tem uma "ovelha negra", não é?

So, let's put a bit of a finer point on this. Lula emphasized national tech sovereignty - stating Brazil needs to build its own AI and technology capabilities rather than relying entirely on foreign entities - and asserted that Brazil "does not accept being anybody's backyard." This was in the wake of claims of election interference levied on Meta - who, to be fair, did remedy some of those issues - but, really, this is less about censorship and more about Brazil "rolling their own", to borrow a term. Also, if someone wanted to bring back Orkut I think it would thrive today.

Oh, <<Vai chupar um canavial de rôla>> is my new favorite phrase in any language.

LOL I've heard that.

If you think I'm not working "Vai chupar um canavial de rôla" into my daily casual conversation......

Based on these comments, I'm seeing that's a running theme.

Yeah, they do. It's true. And I don't really think any of them should on the taxpayer dime (I get wanting the sitting president stumping for you, though).

100% verdade

Hahaha, você não é o primeiro a dar a entender isso.

Amen!

Well, I did include a video of his antisemitism, so I felt it was appropriate. But even without that, this is all appalling.

Way too on the nose.
