Three out of five Supreme Court justices found the 70-year-old guilty of leading a conspiracy aimed at keeping him in power after he lost the 2022 election to his left-wing rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
wait, so, he’s actually going to face consequences? or is he getting reelected?
Can’t reelect a convicted felon outside of the US, so no, he’s going to prison. Potentially reduced to house arrest when he makes it to 85. If, that is.
I thought you were just supposed to let coup attempters off Scot free to try again until they eventually overthrow your democracy.
Hey OP, the article you linked actually say that four of five found him guilty, one wanted to acquit. Reuters, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, FAZ, NYT, Folha and Estadão all say it was four votes.
This is what should have happened to trump
It’s a perfect parallel. Brazil cleaned house of their traitor, America wimped out.
We are literally the weakest nation on Earth. We won’t even protect ourselves from the most serious existential threat that our country has faced in over 150 years.
America didn’t wimp out, it’s government is just completely non-functional.
I am yet to see any sign that the upper echelos of the Democratic party aren’t in on it.
Unfortunately, without a grassroots movement that has a way to guarantee that people will commit and vote for a third single-issue party that will actually change things without going into ideological divisions, and just fix the money in politics and electoral system and stuff like that, then declare elections again right away, things will not change.
More and more, I’m seeing the Dems actually RESIST any effort to regain our nation from the treasonous MAGA Nazis. Who cares if Minneapolis or New York gets a Socialist mayor, at least they aren’t literal Nazis, but the Dem leadership doesn’t agree.
The Establishment Dems have made it very clear that they would prefer a MAGA in office than a Democratic Socialist. They now have one issue - Insider Trading. It’s the only reason they stay in power; it certainly isn’t because they believe in Democratic issues, they haven’t advocated for those things since Obama, and even he was really weak.
It’s all about corruption now, and the Dems are on board for it.
This is why I have been an Unaffiliated Independent since I first registered to vote in 1977. Both parties are corrupt, and I don’t want to be part of either club.
What I find crazy is that in 2024 I was telling people if they vote 3rd party, they’re basically just voting for trump. Fast forward to today, and I’m thinking maybe now is the time to vote for those 3rd party candidates. Voting for dems, even if they win, doesn’t seem to be helping much. Biden was basically useless in doing the most important thing he had to do; secure our elections. Maybe the democratic party needs to just die. And while I say that, I’m fully aware that the country will only slip deeper into dictatorship and fascism if democrats lose to republicans, but maybe that just needs to happen. Maybe things need to get really fucking bad for people to actually wake up and realize that voting, protesting, doing all this docile shit… is just completely impotent and worthless. Look at Nepal, they picked up their torches and took their country back in just a few days!!!
The pictures of him weeping make me so happy.
What a little bitch.
Good, let’s hope this causes Trump to have another stroke.
Can we get some of that here? Sadly our motivated assassins are doing neck shots on influencers and missing the actual threats.
an appropiate punishment would be using pineapples.
Or living with chickens for 5 years?
Good. 3/5 is concerning though
The article says 4 out of 5. Maybe OP was mistaken or the article corrected at some point.
The article updated since they posted, now there’s even the length of the sentence, 27 years and some odd months
More uplifting news.
He got 27 years in jail, may he live a long and miserable life!
RIP BOZOOOOOOOOOOO 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷
Muito melhor do que mostrar pro mundo a superioridade do nosso futebol é criar tendencia de como defender a república. Essa noite aqueles que se importam com a democracia nos olham com admiração. Lutemos para que isso seja o prenúncio de um futuro democrático e do império da lei.
AQUI É BRASIL, CARALHO! 🇧🇷
QUE DEUS O ELEMINE AMÉM
A country where politicians who make coup attempts are punished rather than elected again?
Yeah, I understand Brazil is quite the paradise.
Brazil did something right and OP praised them for it. They never implied there’s nothing else wrong with the country.
They learned their lesson the hard way. We might too.
It really isn’t a lesson a country should have to learn, don’t let people who commit treason be your leader! Do people need to learn not to date known rapists?
Fun fact: our leader has both committed treason and rape!
Wow, can you imagine if a former president of the Untied States attempted a coup? Surely such a treasonous act would be prosecuted with the utmost severity.
