Subject: Re: Bolsonaro charged with attempted coup


If JB works the media like Trump, and if the Brazilian Supreme Court bends to the will of the violent right, he could pull a Trump in '30 or whenever he gets to run again.

---Former President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil oversaw a broad conspiracy to hold on to power regardless of the results of the 2022 election, including personally editing a proposed order to arrest a Supreme Court justice

--Their efforts included spreading disinformation about voter fraud, drafting legal arguments for new elections, recruiting military personnel to support a coup, surveilling judges and encouraging and guiding protesters who eventually raided government buildings, police said.

--The court order unsealed on Thursday also details a meeting in July 2022, three months before the election, in which Mr. Bolsonaro ordered top government officials and military leaders to spread claims of voter fraud, despite a lack of evidence. “From now on, I want every minister to say what I’m going to say here,” Mr. Bolsonaro said at the meeting, according to a recording obtained by police.

America is truly the land of opportunity, where any felon/rapist/fraud wit enough money can grow up to become President.
