I wouldn’t support or oppose what people in Brazil are doing. Just as Venezuela, that is their business.
Their countries aren’t our football games.

Nah. I’ll be a hundred in 2048. If I’m doing anything it will be having someone wipe the gruel off my chin.

Well that sucks. Their buffalo guy looks way cooler than ours.

Ironically, there is an outside chance that the police will ride up to this thing…on buffaloes.

And? What is happening at our Southern Border is a lot more relevant news to us than rioters in Brazilia, imo. CNN seems to underweight the importance of that.

They seem to think ANTIFA is special in places like Portland. :roll_eyes:

Exactly, just why should I care about an internal issue for Brazil?

It’s another teachable moment. A reminder to stop underestimating how dangerous the asymmetry of values is between regular society and the populist right wing.

Their intentions are clear for a long time before the inevitable happens. Regular people just go into denial, unwilling to believe that the populist right doesn’t actually value our civil society as much as everyone else does.

The direction of that thread from the quoted post is great context for why this is going to keep happening.

I head he was at Mar Largo masterminding the entire coup attempt.
(just kidding)

Anyway hours passed and he had not yet told the rioters to stop what they were doing and leave. In the US that means
—> If he is a liberal, nothing
----> If he is a conservative, use the FBI and the judiciary to try to put him in jail. Political opponents must be jailed.

Just the same as pretending like the libs have a clue as to what’s going on in Brazil in the first place.

They’ll post a link from their basement and insist on having knowledge. :wink:

Hmmm…he’s already facing some criminal charges and may be indicted for others related to this uprising. Will the US extradite Bolsanaro to Brazil?

He’s an asylum seeker.

The dems should be bulldozing the constitution to keep him here . . . oh wait somebody describe dhim as “far-right” wow. You guys must have a ral conundrum?

Should we protect him or should we blame Trump and prosecute every R in a 30-yard radius?
What to do what to do?

Huh??

He’s not an asylum seeker…but that might be one avenue he takes.

Going after defeated political opponents is a third world practice. But since we are now doing the same things, we can no longer act superior about it.

Extraditing people for crimes in their home countries is a pretty normal US practice. He’s also a normal citizen now, not a politically elected official. But I will say it is politically tricky.
