The most significant fact that emerged from the testimony was the acknowledgment by Bolsonaro and the other defendants that the former president conspired with the armed forces command to prevent the inauguration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of the Workers Party (PT), who was democratically elected in 2022.

    I really love how there’s one conservative going through the comments and ascribing a solitary downvote to various comments.

    Hey asshole. How does it feel to be part of a community that hates your fucking guts?

      I only see two comments here with 1 downvote each, and those are by separate people. but maybe i don’t see what you see because of federation issues?

      Brazil apparently has a functioning court system, unlike us.

        Eh, I wouldn’t go that far into calling our courts functioning. I’m glad bozo might actually get jail time (unlikely, this is Brazil, after all), but it really feels like a personal fight between bozo and judge Moraes.

        Our justice system is the home of untouchable petty gods. Politicians avoid doing anything that could threaten judges, as a “surprise” investigation might start right afterwards. Being guilty is optional, suffering is assured. Listing all their abuses in the last 5 years is enough for a Master’s thesis

      When you already know the court knows or evidence will show guilt, the sentence will be harsher for perceived/lying than admitting facts.

      He does? He essentially denied any wrongdoing, only in a roundabout way.
