Former President Donald Trump and far-right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro have lots in common. The two men have both repeatedly demonized the press, used militant nationalist rhetoric to invigorate their voters, and they've each spread mountains of disinformation regarding the deadly COVID-19 pandemic that's killed millions worldwide. Both Trump and Bolsonaro were Presidents of countries with some of the highest COVID-19 cases and death rates.

Bolsonaro may now face charges for his response to COVID-19, if Brazil's Prosecutor-General heeds Tuesday's recommendation from a subcommittee in the Brazilian Senate. The committee formally recommended criminal charges against Bolsonaro for everything from wrongful use of funds to crimes against humanity for the country's 600,000+ COVID deaths.


The Brazilian President has denied any wrongdoing and has continued to spread deadly disinformation. On the very same day the Senate committee recommended criminal charges against him, Facebook removed a livestream video of Bolsonaro after he falsely claimed the lifesaving vaccines give people AIDS.

Amid Bolsonaro's shameless doubling down on disinformation and potential exposure to criminal charges, former President Donald Trump issued a full-throated endorsement supporting Bolsonaro's reelection in 2022.

Trump wrote:

"President Jair Bolsonaro and I have become great friends over the past few years. He fights hard for, and loves, the people of Brazil—Just like I do for the people of the United States. Brazil is lucky to have a man such as Jair Bolsonaro working for them. He is a great President and will never let the people of his great country down!"

Given the pair's similarities, people weren't a bit surprised




People doubted Trump's endorsement would help Bolsonaro's candidacy.


What we won't know til next year is whether or not Bolsonaro—unlike Trump—will accept the results of Brazil's election if he loses.

Jesse Watters Blasted After Joking That Women 'Better Watch Out' For Testosterone-Boosted Male Troops

Fox News host Jesse Watters sparked outrage after implying that women will face more sexual assault from testosterone-boosted men in the U.S. military now that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that service members age 30 and older will be screened annually and treated for testosterone deficiency.

The decision to screen active-duty service members for testosterone levels and offering testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) when appropriate is part of an effort to keep U.S. troops on the "leading edge of lethality," Hegseth said in a video posted to X captioned "The High-T Department of War."

MTG Just Went Scorched Earth On Lindsey Graham's Legacy In Viral Rant: 'He Was A Murderer'

Former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene called the late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham a "murderer" in remarks on the progressive news show The Young Turks, saying Graham's legacy is defined by the fact he "supported war more than anything."

Graham died on the evening of July 11 after returning from an official visit to Ukraine. According to a preliminary finding from the medical examiner, shared by his office, Graham died after suffering an aortic dissection—a tear in the inner wall of the aorta—linked to hardening of the arteries.

Florida has given the internet plenty of strange stories over the years, but few arrive courtesy of a state-issued license plate.

Pompano Beach resident Nancy Dello Stritto opened her mail to find a license plate that could easily be interpreted as a crude phrase. Rather than laugh it off, she was less than thrilled by the discovery.
