Did she tell it to you as a joke or as a statement of fact? 'Cause it sounded like a statement of fact, to me. But you know what they say about "opinions"?

Of course she's entitled to her opinions, but anyone with some integrity would question those opinions, if they're based in lies, untruths, innuendo or just factually incorrect.

Dude, you were there, NOT ME! I think that's more a question you should have asked her. Especially, if YOU believe it to be a lie, untrue or incorrect!

So by NOT asking her said question, it all but implies, you absolutely believe what she said.

But I'm interested in hearing what those thoughts of hers were w/r to her opinions that "Lula never hold a job is his life"

Do you consider being a "thief" a job? You took it too literally. She told me more than enough that I understand where she is coming from. I just listened and amused to see a completely different side of her.

[Spidy]

I don't have to believe, agree with or disagree with her. She told me a lot more for me to understand her thinking. Obviously she is not the only one with that opinion. There is nothing really absolutely good or bad. Most opinions formed here are mostly based on some type of bias anyway. LOL

My question to you is do you know what made her say what she said?

As a general rule I try to avoid discussing politics with the locals in any country I visit.

Me too, but since none of us is a local, here goes.

1. Bolsonaro is a far-right demagogue and misogynist, basically Trump's mini-me who encouraged his people to disregard the dangers of Covid and refuse vaccination. Blood on his hands! Tons of it!

2. Both he and Lula have been involved in corruption schemes. It cracks me up when people single Lula out as a corruption champion, as if Bozo is a knight in shining armors. Shish!

That said, Lula, like most lefties, is pro-Russian and pro-Palestinian, so he'd never get my vote, but neither would Bozo. It's a curse being centrist nowadays.

As a general rule I try to avoid discussing politics with the locals in any country I visit. I also try my best, KKK, to avoid hearing the tragic stories of how or why a girl enters the profession. But sometimes these discussions cannot be avoided, especially when I am with favorite repeat girls that I really like.

So here are 2 anecdotal stories on the subject at hand:

The 1st one is about my favorite garota brasileira, V. I know, I know, I post a lot about her, maybe too much, but I spend around 40% of my nights in SP with her, so she is bound to come up in my posts every so often. Anyway, it was during the recent Brazilian presidential elections when V volunteered that she is a big Jair Bolsonaro supporter. Why I asked? Because she dislikes the socialists and thinks they are all crooks who make false promises to the people. Her words, not mine.

Now here is her sad background story: she is 100% Portuguese, and she grew up in a "loving", nurturing middle class family in a nice house in Curitiba. Her mother died, and her father married a much younger woman with a daughter. Then her father died, and her stepmother and stepsister "disowned" her and kicked her out of the family home. She went to work as a clerk in a shopping mall. Then some guy started coming around and flirting with her. He turned out to be a "pimp" and he told her she could make a lot of money doing you know what. So eventually she accepted his offer, and he fixed her up with a wealthy Brazilian who put her up for a year in her own apartment. After the year ended so did the relationship and she moved to Sao Paulo, and she began working in Scandallo where I met her a couple of months after Scandallo re-opened after covid peaked in Nov 2021.

The 2nd story is about my favorite Bomboa girl who is a very pretty girl with a voluptuous hourglass figure. If you ask her, she will say she is white, but I would not be surprised if there were a little something more in her gene pool. KKK. Not that I care. All I see is a beautiful girl who is incredibly sweet and amazingly warm & passionate in bed.

Anyway, it was again during the recent Brazilian elections when are. Told me her sad story: She was happily married to a "good" man living in RJ and had a baby. Her husband was a manager of some kind of convenience store like a Minuto, I guess. One night 2 hoodlums or gang members entered the store, attempted to rob it, and killed her husband. It doesn't get much worse than that IMHO and I believe her story is 100% true.

So, she moved in with her mother and began working at Bomboa in SP to support her family. She takes the bus or buys a cheap monthly air pass to come up to SP every Monday morning and travels back down to RJ every Friday night after midnight. She has an arrangement with Bomboa, and they put her up in a room.

So, one night we were having dinner upstairs in Bomboa's restaurant and some election news came on the TV, and she volunteered that she likes Jair Bolsonaro. I asked why? Although it is pretty easy to understand why from her history and point of view. She said Luiz Inácio Lula the Silva is criminal who lets all the criminals out of prison and that in her opinion, Jair Bolsonaro is a good man who is tough on crime and criminals and he cares about the people of Brazil. I am paraphrasing here, but essentially these are her words not mine.

And there you have it. To be sure, these are 2 anecdotal stories, but they are real. I find it an interesting coincidence that my 2 favorite Brazilian girls happen to be Bolsonaro supporters. Both girls were disappointed when he lost the election, especially are. And I can understand and empathize with her disappointment.

And you believed her?

I don't have to believe, agree with or disagree with her. She told me a lot more for me to understand her thinking. Obviously she is not the only one with that opinion. There is nothing really absolutely good or bad. Most opinions formed here are mostly based on some type of bias anyway. LOL


My question to you is do you know what made her say what she said?

[Spidy]

Yeah, a Brazileira told me one day over lunch out of blue that "Lula never hold a job is his life" and something like he takes a cut from people's salary.

And you believed her?

[Nounce]

As one of my SP regular girls said: "Lula is a thief who never finished school."

[Axel Heyst]

Quite correct. When all other countries shut themselves off to foreign visitors, Bolsonaro the contrarian welcomed me to Brazil. One of the best 3 months in my monger's life.

Lula is a thief who never finished high school.

Same here. I first came to Brazil when all of SE Asia had closed down thanks to covid. I had a big 2 1/2 month SE Asian trip scheduled to begin on April 15,2020 and I will always remember the day (March 15,2020) when United cancelled my flight to swampy (BKK). 2020 was a lost year. But early in 2021, I said fuck this and flew to Rio and the rest is history. I have not been back to LOS, CGK, Phnom, or Macau since June 2019 and although I miss it, I can't seem to stop visiting Brazil and getting my fill of Brazilian girls.

It's the credit card version of the ATM conversion thing. In this case, the vendor will get a rebate when customers choose non local currency like USD. I will be surprised that you have not seen it. It is more common in Sao Paulo. It is not as common in smaller cities. The machine will tell the person to show the terminal to client and let client make the selection, usually 1: USD, 2: BRL.

It is even more common in Lima where I remember in many restaurants they genuinely asked in which currency I wanted to pay. By "genuinely" I mean they were not trying to scam me, it was just an option that popped up each time in their hand-held terminals.

Lula is aligned with the feminist bullshit which is the enemy of our profession of mongering. Bolsonaro was president during the absolute best period for we few, we happy few, March 2020 to when Bolsonaro left, during which time currency, culture, and other issues made it the absolute best time for mongers.

BTW, how much time have you spent in Brazil the last 4 years?

The only Bozo is Lula and Bozo's who voted for this weirdo.

You may very well be right! That's an awful lot of weirdos though, voting at the same time...imagine that! (...kkkk!)

But really, being called a "weirdo" isn't always bad thing. Some people wear it as a "badge of honor".

I guess you could say, that when the majority of "weirdo" Brazilians, voted for President Lula, that it was one of those times, being "weird" was a cool thing, as they collectively voted with "weirdness" and wore it proudly, like a "badge of honor", to victory.

PS: Many Brazilians, think we "gringos" (foreigners) are weirdos. (...kkkk!)

Viva Brazil!

Although the Brazil, has a relatively "young" democracy, it is showing signs of maturity beyond that of America, the oldest and longest held democracy in the world.

The wanna be Brazilian dictator and Trump political impersonator (with Speedo tan lines...kkkk!), dubbed by Brazilians as "the Trump of the Topics" and my fav. "President Bozo", is now under investigation for their "J8" attempted coup.

Along with four (4) people arrested and 33 search warrants executed Thursday as part of the probe, ex-President Jair Bolsonaro, surrendered his passport, Brazilian Federal Police said in a statement.

As the investigation proceeds, it'll be interesting to see whether or NOT ex-Pres. Bozo, follows the in the "Trumpian" footsteps of his hero to the north, which resulted in a Jan. 6-style attack by Bolsonaros supporters after the far-right politician spread baseless conspiracy theories about the countrys election process.

As for my post on ex-Pres Bozo being indicted, it is very relevant to Brazilian general information w/r to political, social and cultural significance. If that's not your thing w/r to having a discussion or debate...MOVE ON!

And exactly because vendors get a kickback for using USD conversion, you need to be proactive. I normally tell them them reais por favor (when I don't forget). If you don't, they might just charge you in dollars without asking.
