Brazil's Bolsonaro doesn't concede election, but authorizes transition

BRASILIA, Brazil — Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Tuesday did not concede the election he lost to leftist Lula da Silva in a brief speech that marked his first comments since results were released two days ago.

But afterward, Chief-of-Staff Ciro Nogueira told reporters that Bolsonaro has authorized him to begin the transition process.

Bolsonaro’s address didn’t mention election results, but he said he will continue to follow the rules of the nation’s constitution.

“I have always been labeled as anti-democratic and, unlike my accusers, I have always played within the four lines of the constitution,” Bolsonaro, flanked by more than a dozen ministers and allies, told reporters in the official residence in capital Brasilia.

Bolsonaro lost Sunday’s race by a thin margin, garnering 49.1% of the vote to da Silva’s 50.9%, according to the nation’s electoral authority. It was the tightest presidential race since Brazil’s return to democracy in 1985 and marks the first time Bolsonaro has lost an election in his 34-year political career, including seven races for a seat in Congress’ Lower House.

The NSA, CIA, FBI, State Department, Deep Swamp and the American Socialist Democrat owned Mainstream Disinformation Media just might know.

Well, except for the fact that Brazil had the results of the election (real or falsified) the night of the election. Something that several states seem to be incapable of .

They actually changed the music in the disco scene in a later (VHS) copy of the movie that I picked up real cheap.

Licensing or something. It was Rolling Stones and a cover of “I’m a Man” by Chicago in the original. Probably some other music.

The original, as I recall
