What is with ultra far right leaders and golden showers?

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has sparked shock and outrage by tweeting a video showing one man urinating on another during his country’s massive annual street carnival.

“What is a golden shower?” Bolsonaro tweeted on Wednesday, a day after posting the video in which a barely dressed party-goer writhes atop a bus shelter, plays with his behind, and then bends over before another man urinates on his head.

“I do not feel comfortable showing this, but ... this is what many of the street parties in Brazil’s carnival have turned into,” Bolsonaro tweeted about the video, which local media said was filmed at a Sao Paulo street party, or bloco.

A former army captain, Bolsonaro was elected in 2018 as the head of a right-wing government after years of stirring controversy with homophobic, misogynistic and racist comments.

It remains to be seen whether he will face consequences over the posts. Leftist lawmaker Paulo Teixeira said on Twitter he would ask prosecutors to investigate whether Bolsonaro had broken privacy laws.

Twitter said in a statement that any violations of its content rules were “subject to appropriate measures,” but declined to say whether the post constituted a violation.

Let it go, man. Just let it go. Trust me on this. It is the smartest, and safest, choice.

THAT freaky right out in public. I've seen a lotta shit ... a lotta hummers going on in not-so-discreet areas, a lotta hands down each others pants, but I can't say I've seen ... THAT.

So honestly a better question might be ... is Caraval actually whackier than SF Gay Pride?

Gotta say, I did not know that.

Hmmm ... might have to put it on my bucket list ...
