Brazil presidential election run-off (10/30/2022); 2023-01-08 Insurrection

That is the President speaking, for those (like me) who didn’t immediately recognize him.

ETA: duh, I see his name is right there.

From Lance Turbo’s link…

Well we did that here, too. It’s hard to even count all of the people who were charged and tried for trespassing, staying out too late, that sort of thing.

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:

By evening, security forces had retaken control of the breached buildings, said Flávio Dino, the minister of justice and public security. Dino said about 200 people had been arrested, while the district’s governor said more than 400 had been arrested.

And, the tent camps that these clowns had set up in several cities, over several weeks, are bein dismantled by authorities right now, after an overnight Supreme Court decision.

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’ve still got my Diretas Ja '84 Tee-shirt!

It’s amazing how much it’s shrunk…

A Brazilian congresswoman is requesting that the government seek Bolsonaro’s extradition.

Bannon and Miller (in unison): “Curses! Foiled again!”

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.

Worked for the Shah . . .

He’s apparently been discharged already.
