"SNIP....


New York Times: President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil has vowed to pursue drug traffickers relentlessly. So he was hard-pressed to explain how a presidential plane ended up carrying 86 pounds of cocaine across the Atlantic during an official trip.”

.....SNIP"

1. Dictator rights? Wholesale and street values?

2. It is like all the autocrats, white supremacists and criminals are getting together: psychopaths

of the world unite!!!

[Wounded Bear]

4. But there is no vast right wing conspiracy...

3. You'll need a bigger wall to keep the planes out

[Celerity]

5. maybe he cuts a deal to brand it as Trump Marching Powder

no walls needed then

[gldstwmn]

6. He has diplomatic immunity.

7. what were those design changes trump wanted made to air force 1?

a disco light and a "studio 54 vip room" sign for the bathroom?

8. Now THAT ... is a f***ing BALLER move, I gotta admit ...

I doubt Bolsonaro was involved, but the people who tried to pull this off? That's some friggin' Hollywood shit right there. I bet this is a good story when we get the details ...

9. Yes. I think it was not actually Bolsonaro. But they are who they are surrounded

by.

[mr_lebowski]

11. Agreed ... but that just takes some serious cajones to come up with a plan to smuggle 85+ lbs

of freaking cocaine on the PRESIDENTS PLANE ... and then actually get it on there ... presumably with a plan to get it off at the destination.

That's just straight baller right there, man.

Be even more so had they actually pulled it off, but ... then we'd have never heard about it.

10. Oopsie!

12. What is the connection with McConnell?

Asking for a friend...

[malaise]

13. Wait a minute

You mean we have an evangelical born again Christian trafficking in cocaine?

This reminds me of many of the RW governments in South America in the late 70s and 80s. They all had their Iran-Contra moments

14. He was not "hard-pressed". imo

He was demonstrating his solidarity with our wicked pretender.

15. He's a piece of shit in all directions, isn't he?
