Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Bolsonarists and Trumpists are joining efforts to fabricate a scandal targeting President Lula( Brazil), former U.S. President Joe Biden, and the 2022 election.

Without evidence, they claim that USAID, a federal agency under President Donald Trump’s scrutiny, funded Lula’s victory over Bolsonaro.

Directly or indirectly, the re-election of Trump and his administration's policy , is causing extra rifts worldwide. It's important to counter false claims, disinformation and address the situation.

Surely this aid agency has public records, right? They should be able to clear this up real quick... \s

It's well documented that USAID only helps fund US interests, often in the form of regime change. If USAID was involved, Bolsonaro would have won reelection

I am home, you have no idea what USAID is, hint it's not aid.

OP is actually right, Bolsonaro is much more pro-USA than Lula, hell the man even praised and saluted the USA flag in a public event
