Brazil braced Friday for possible new U.S. sanctions linked to former President Jair Bolsonaro’s conviction on coup charges, after the administration of President Donald Trump warned it would respond “accordingly.”
Brazil’s Foreign Ministry called Rubio’s comments an inappropriate threat that would not intimidate the government, adding that the country’s judiciary is independent and that Bolsonaro was granted due process.
“Threats like the one made today by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a statement that attacks Brazilian authority and ignores the facts and compelling evidence in the case files, will not intimidate our democracy,” Brazil’s foreign office said on X.
“You guys are so unfair to my buddy… I did the exact same thing right here and nothing happened”
This is one thing I hate Biden and the dems for… Orange fuckface should have been ineligible to any official position, and thrown in jail to rot.
Following the Jan 6 Insurrection, as well as their confirmed collaboration with Russia, Biden would have been well within his legal rights and responsibilities to declare Trump and his henchmen to be National Security Threats, and arrested within minutes of his Inauguration.
And while they were being extensively interrogated at Guantanamo Bay regarding their nefarious dealings, the MAGA Nazis would have lost their minds, and tried to get violent, giving Biden the excuse to ruthlessly crush them.
And then the Stolen Documents scheme would have come to light, and we would finally understand how deep their treason went, giving the Biden administration the authority to finally end MAGA once and for all, declare it a treasonous terrorist hate group, and prohibit it’s existence. In addition, the Conservative Propaganda Machine would be dismantled, starting with the prohibition of Fox News.
But they did none of that, and instead of having a legacy as a strong president who saved America from MAGA, Biden will forever be the weak president who surrendered America to MAGA. The deaths that will occur in taking America back from MAGA, are all on Biden.
What a fool he, and his entire administration, was.
They wanted to play placating politics and lost it all. Don’t wanna alienate those MAGA voters!
I think they completely fucked up by going after the rioters. In my opinion, every one of them has an ironclad defense. Imagine for a second that, instead of living in a fox News fantasy world where up is down and the sky is orange, they just lived under a rock for 4 years and lean right:
The president they voted for told them the election was stolen. They’re just pions. He has access to intel that they do not. Who are they to question his claim? He’s the fuckin president! The left must be stealing the election!
In the fantasy where that is true, storming the capitol kind of is the correct move. They cut off the wrong end of the snake.
EVERYBODY in America heard the same nonsense from him for years, and yet somehow most managed to avoid belief. Even among those that chose to believe, most didn’t go to the Capitol to commit treason.
The Jan 6 Insurrectionists were the worst behaved of the dumbest people in America. That isn’t a defense, it’s why they should be locked up. They don’t respond to reason.
The supreme court has a lot of the blame, don’t forget that they ruled that the USA president is above the law
There’s a lot of things I’m furious at Biden for. But them slow-walking and doing fucking NOTHING to stop the fascists is right at the top of the list
It sure does shine a light on a very, very dysfunctional and broken shell of a democracy in North America. A shameful embarrassment for the whole world to see.
While I would agree, prior to 2024, most of us kinda figured someone who was guilty of multiple felonies and was proven to be a crook , a scam artist and a pedophile would be enough marks against him to prevent his election… but here we are.
Are you crazy? From 202 to 2024 the MAGA party has risen in popularity, it was clear that he was gonna get voted.
