I didn't realize the "article" is just a couple sentences.

SAO PAULO, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Brazil's imprisoned former President Jair Bolsonaro was taken to hospital for tests on Tuesday after falling and hitting his head, his wife said in a social media post. "We are going to the hospital. My love will undergo exams," she wrote on Instagram, adding that the 70-year-old right-wing leader fell while sleeping.

Also - as far as I know - there are no x-ray photos in English language media.

Legacy media: "Why would anybody need to see a photo right away?"

People: "People think it's funny - you dipshits!"

Legacy media: "Why is it that the public is so disdainful and hateful of the hard work that we do? Media literacy is at an all-time low and..."

You're telling me it was raining and pouring, he was snoring, he fell out of bed and bumped his head and couldn't get up in the morning?

The funniest thing about this is that his medic name is Claudio Birolini, and lots of people use 'Biroliro' instead of 'Bolsonaro' HAHAHAHA

Okay, but does anyone know if this will have an impact on the theatrical release of Jim Caviezel's Bolsonaro biopic?!?

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Holy shit - it's real.

Jim Caviezel to play Jair Bolsonaro in ‘heroic’ biopic

Actor, who starred in The Passion of the Christ, will play the disgraced ex-Brazilian president in film written by his one-time secretary of culture

It's kind of weird we don't already have these for Trump. Like, I think a lot of the Hitler comparisons are overblown (he doesn't have Hitler's ideological commitment), but in retrospect it's strange that Trump doesn't have a Triumph of the Will.

I completely forgot about that one.

The Trump Prophecy's producers denied any political motive behind the film.

If there was an outside entity doing this to him, it would be more ethical just to kill him at this point.

[-] Red_October@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

The suffering he inflicted on Brazil must be repayed. Let him cook.

[-] TRI_STATE_GLADIO@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

He's fucking fried brother he's been in the hospital 90 times

[-] Red_October@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

I said LET HIM COOK!

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

By the 30th entry they really should have just admitted him permanently.

[-] RondoRevolution@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

I'm convinced this mf has straws for bones at this point, I don't get how the knife didn't kill him, but I'm glad it caused so many complications lol

[-] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

lol, dude is stealing Tobias' bit at this point

[-] Blakey@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

How does one fall, while sleeping, and injured oneself badly enough to require hospitalization?

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Roll out of bed and hit your head?
