There's always a grain of truth.. and the "conspiracy theorists " have been right, I can agree when it comes down to foreign politics I'm a babe in the woods but when my feed gets flooded with logical scenarios it sure as hell should get attention and researched.. remember here in Canada news is blocked we Canadians can only go off screencaps and theoriesWho would Grimm be without conspiracies?

This is what's going onNo, Grimm. Conspiracy theorists have not always been right. That is incorrect.
Yes they are saying natural causes, but with the political temputure globally this seems way to coincidentalThis is the second collapse he's had this week.
"Ventura was discharged from hospital in Faro only on Wednesday after his previous collapse. The hospital said he had an esophageal spasm caused by gastric reflux and high blood pressure."
Right-wingers are so ragey.

With all the vitriol he carries, it's not surprising that he has these episodes. It's called the stress of rage. It's why I remain surprised that Trump still walks the earth. Maybe he's actually a Walking Dead.Yes they are saying natural causes, but with the political temputure globally this seems way to coincidental
Yes, it's parliamentary, and Chega's share of the votes is chilling. We were a solidly socialist country until a couple of weeks ago. There are claims here that Chega did some underhanded shit to win seats. We'll see how this plays out.Looks like the mainstream party won. Following is rightwing party, Chega and then followed by the Socialist Party with only two fewer seats. I assume it's a parliamentary system and that the left (SP) would govern along with the Centrist party...but I would need to read more about it.
Who do you think the Centrist Party will form a government with? Seems that governing has been difficult in recent times.Yes, it's parliamentary, and Chega's share of the votes is chilling.

Portuguese are really into their phones and the internet, and there are claims that 58% of the social media profiles promoting Chega were fake.
I don't know. The good thing about the Parliamentary system is that these alliances form and reform. If Chega gets out of hand, the centrists will align with the socialists, and Chega will not necessarily be a big part of the decision making process. It kind of depends on how citizens react.Who do you think the Centrist Party will form a government with? Seems that governing has been difficult in recent timea.
I thought the people there got better education than here.BTW, This is why Portugal has turned right: Fucking house flippers and people opening up Airbnbs have made housing unaffordable for many Portuguese. Housing prices have almost doubled in the last fours years. The right, as usual, convinced them that immigrants from Africa and India and Brazil are the reason for the cost of living increases, and as usual, that's pure fucking bullshit. It makes me so mad.
They do get a better education, I think. And they are generally more tolerant people. But the toxic capitalist misinformation mongers are very good at what they do. They want to mine Portugal for everything they can squeeze out of it, and so the propaganda machine, having been honed in the US and UK, etc, is in hyperdrive right now. People everywhere trying to make a buck and convince themselves they are good people while doing it.I thought the people there got better education than here.
It's scary how easily people become reactionary
Right-wing populism is everywhere.
When I was in College in the 80’s I was around a lot of business majors a popular dream on my campus and many others at the time was to get your degree be a monster capitalist for a decade or so, make your “Bank” and retire in your 30’s to the Coast of Portugal. Nobody I know of has done it, but I am sure many did.They do get a better education, I think. And they are generally more tolerant people.

There are a lot of American companies here, and they abuse the workers here just like they do in the US. Portuguese people need to guard their pensions and their four-week vacations and their universal healthcare and their free higher education, because if they don't, they are going to lose it all.
I mean Portugal has a legit communist party, and no one is ashamed of being in it.
There are a LOT of capitalist pigs from other countries -- the US and Northern Europe -- here trying to import their business models to a country that is technologically advanced, but has a very relaxed and family-oriented approach to life. They are truly brain washing them into believing their mantra, "Calma, calma" is somehow backwards.When I was in College in the 80’s I was around a lot of business majors a popular dream on my campus and many others at the time was to get your degree be a monster capitalist for a decade or so, make your “Bank” and retire in your 30’s to the Coast of Portugal.

True, but he DOES have an easily bruised ego. He loses his shit when people don't revere him. I can't believe he hasn't stroked out.Trump doesn't actually believe any of the bullshit he spews. With him literally everything is transactional; a negotiating tactic; a calculated facade. The only thing about which he cares or has ever cared is his brand.

God, I fucking hate him. I honestly believe Bush/Cheney were more evil, but at least they understood a little something about cause and effect, and the fact that some limits and levels of civility are necessary. Trump is evil and as stupid as a fucking dying maggot.He's a true snowflake.
I take umbrage at a personal level with Trump, he's a horrible human being that is hurting many people. He's a complete tool...personally and politically.God, I fucking hate him.

Yeah. I get it. There is nothing about Trump that is acceptable on any level -- professional, personal, and everything in between.I take umbrage at a personal level with Trump, he's a horrible human being that is hurting many people. He's a complete tool...personally and politically.
Bush/Cheney I despised because of how many 10s of millions were hurt by their shitty warmongering policies in the ME. It wasn't personal though.
I don't known if that makes sense.
