We have been prosecuting the smaller and useless guys arrested in January 8th, 2023. These plots took longer to be unraveled and had evidence coming from other investigations. So the courts were working while the police was putting together the 884-page report that led to this
So satisfying: “In a republic, all can be held accountable,” Mr. Gonet Branco wrote in a 17-page introduction attached to the indictment. “The president of the republic does not escape this rule.”
It's important to note that what Bolsonero did was (a) INSPIRED by Trump, and (b) nowhere REMOTELY as brazen or criminal as the many, many criminal conspiracies of Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
Our fox listening, Rogan guzzling, douche bro citizens just re elected our coup leader who is letting his boy strip our government bare. So much making America great I can’t stand it
They'll have less than a year to enjoy it, though, as Trump 2.0's insanely bad policies pile up to the point where even the douchiest among MAGA will feel the pain.
I wouldn't necessarily rely on some sudden enlightenment amongst the douchiest MAGA. Stubborn ignorance to the point of self destruction is sown deep within them.
im not one of those ppl who thinks everyone deserves it bc voting majorities elect certain ppl, but most red states are like a century into being almost universally worse places to live, raise kids, grow up etc. bc of "conservatism"
I have seen douchebag MAGA bros lose their own homes to a climate pumped fire in November 2018 only to pretend it was absolutely normal to have 70 degree temperatures instead of frost and snow. It's a cult & there isn't enough koolaid to go around.
Those would be the full Tortucans (as call such minds, think young earth creationists as a model). They are indeed virtually impervious to changing their dogmatic minds.
Jealous of so many countries that live by the laws we used to have ..
Remember the good old days , when criminals & corrupt politicians was held accountable in America?
Ironically, it's thanks to the US that this is happening in Brazil. If they hadn't backed the 1964 military coup, we wouldn't have ended up with a constitution so strong against coups.
Meanwhile, the US Constitution was born from a coup against the British, which might explain why it doesn't protect as well against individuals in power doing whatever they want.
I feel like the US Constitution was built on the assumption that those in power would always defend the rights of the American people. The Founding Fathers prioritized limiting government over preventing authoritarianism from within, assuming that democracy would self-correct.
They didn’t anticipate a future where the glory of independence had faded, but power-hungry leaders remained. Leaders that don't care anymore about the boundaries of countries and its people, but just about the boundaries of money and its influence.
During this time there was an extensive investigation, collecting evidence, in the form of testimonies from people involved, documents, emails and even videos of the planning of the coup, the time was well spent
It varies by each individual case, but in theory, it's the time it takes to oust the proverbial thorns in our side. After that it significantly shortens.
“…Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,-That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”. 1776 is calling…
Don't be jealous. Engage in your democracy to build stronger unassailable institutions to protect the rule of law!
The first step is to heavily tax millionaires and billionaires.
I don't think that Americans had realized just how much their extreme form of Capitalism was destroying the nation and all of its institutions, including those concerning law and order... Americans also no longer understand how to participate in democracy beyond voting...and many don't even do that.
Shoulda treated Trump the same way when we had the chance, but nope. We decided that he shouldn’t get sentenced, because he was a “political candidate running for president”.
Brazil actually has more than one Mitch, which lots of times makes things very difficult, but thankfully the there are other institutions that work to preserve democracy and the separation of powers is real.
Okay experts this is a challenge directed at y’all… WE THE PEOPLE want a PRESIDENTIAL RE- DO ELECTION! Now I’ve done some research on the matter it’s not easy but I strongly believe we are in strange & unusual times the constitution does answer the question. I’m throwing down the gauntlet.
It's even worse when you remember that not only that, but we also have at least SOME FORM of universal healthcare as well... like, no offense, but when BRAZIL is seemingly doing better than you, you messed up, because this country is not that great, and we are extremely vulnerable to fascism too.
I am sorry for what your CEO is doing to your country/company. I hope, that you guys learn from this, learn what your country has done to so many others countries for so long, it was a matter of time until it turned back to you, an eye opening. Give the Orange a fkg lesson.
I refer not to the continent but its small central portion stuck between Canada & Mexico with fewer coasts, smaller gulfs & higher chances, according to the latest Vegas odds, of becoming a civil war zone, a climate-induced hellscape or a proving ground for our shared enemies’ fanciest new weapons.
Você acha que sabe tudo, né?
Votei e fiz campanha pro Lula na primeira vez. He turned out to be like every other politician. If you don’t see it, you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Who would have thought that South Korea and Brazil have more robust and honest elected officials than the US? I mean, before Trump we would have never entertained the thought of a President Felon.
Gee…. Imagine if the powers that be in ‘merikkka had balls like the powers that be in Brazil?! Treasonous ORANGINA and his congressional MAGAT MORON MINIONS would have been arrested on jan 8th 2020 and imprisoned by Feb 1, 2020. Dream on america….. dream on…
DOGE is hitting up the Pentagon next. Maybe a military coup will follow. Something needs to budge. This will boil over.......BTW I hope not with violence or anyone getting hurt.
Don't be. Lula is the Trump of the tropics, not the other way around. A felon, a drunk, and illiterate. He once drank liquor during a mass. What he is doing now is hatred persecution for going to prison charged with embezzlement.
Yes, but they went through absolute hell. There's a documentary about it, The Edge of Democracy, on Netflix. I highly recommend it for what it says about our own situation.
