That is the President speaking, for those (like me) who didn’t immediately recognize him. ETA: duh, I see his name is right there. ---

I got busted for speeding, my lawyer was able to negotiate it down to the lesser charge of trying to overthrow the Federal Government. Whew! ---

Authorities have regained control of all the buildings, according to [NPR](https://www.npr.org/2023/01/08/1147757260/bolsonaro-supporters-storm-brazil-congress-lula): > By evening, security forces had retaken control of the breached buildings, [said Flávio Dino](https://twitter.com/OGloboPolitica/status/1612242765139648513?s=20&t=xg2LY_G4ur9GmfeIcctqxw), the minister of justice and public security.

Well… Bolsonaro was more pathetic than other sedition enablers. Considering that his followers attacked on a day where no one from government was present. 400 (and counting) of the followers of the Trump of the Tropics arrested, in the same day (something that should had taken place on January 6th here IMHO); and Bolsonaro still not telling his followers that he lost the election fair and square. ---

I saw his was in hospital today in Florida. His wife said it was not serious, but maybe he’s trying to set up medical grounds to delay extradition. > **[Where is Bolsonaro?
