THE BRAZILIAN BOT

rodrigomaia

  • #PSL Rep #NelsonBarbudo, aiming to give fair treatment to people and institutions that are fact-checked by #factcheckers, proposes a bill demanding that they inform the one being fact-checked before posting a fact-checking, and give them 5 days to counterfact-check. If the fact-checking is not counterfact-checked in 5 days, the fact-checker can proceed to post it, but if they post it without informing and waiting for the counterfact-check up to 5 days, they'll have to pay a 10% fine over their revenue. We from TBB believe that websites that are only fact checkers should simply be outlawed, but this bill is better than nothing.
  • The newly elected president of the #HouseofRepresentatives, #ArthurLira, dismissed 460 employees from temporary government positions only in House. This is an attempt to keep the ex-(and-disgraced-)chair #RodrigoMaia from having influence there by using some of these now-gone employees to transmit information and pass orders, and they would accept doing that for being thankful for the job, as it doesn't require one to take any public exam, but just be appointed.

  • Out of curiosity, the presidents of both houses have unbelievable royal treatment. For instance, they never have to open doors, having someone to walk ahead of them and open, and they don't have to answer their own phones, also having someone to do so. A journalist called #ZĂ©Maria (a good journalist when it comes to Brazilian politics ONLY) told a curious story. After leaving the presidency of a house, an ex-president missed his phone ringing. He wondered if his cell was defective. He called himself from another phone to test it. It rang. From that point on he realized how his presidency was meaningless and absolutely no congressperson had any reason to contact him again.
  • As was expected (as long as there's no #fraud), the candidate of the now ex-president of the #HouseofRepresentatives, #RodrigoMaia, one of two biggest obstacles to the #Bolsonaro administration along with the #SupremeCourt (#STF), lost the election. Rodrigo Maia, while sitting in the house presidency chair, cried like a baby. #ArthurLira, #Bolsonaro's choice, won 302 votes, nearly three fifths of the house. At least in rhetoric, this is a big win for the government. Arthur promised to put to vote the Government Administrative Reform during his first 100 days. Another very important vote is the auditable voting system, which is extremely important in order to avoid what seemed to have happened to Trump, which is even worse in Brazil, as there's zero way to audit the vote.
