A long article that I share with deep satisfaction. Jair Messias Bolsonaro (yes, that's his real full name) gets 27 years and 3 months sentence for trying to stage a coup in Brazil.
(Kinda weird that almost all comments immediately try to switch the topic away from Brasil to the US. Is it really so hard to congratulate the people of Brasil and think for a second about what this means to them?)

@jwildeboer at least they manage to put their would-be dictators into jail
Daniel Schildt@jwildeboer Yeah, especially weird when Brazil is the 7th largest country on the whole planet, with around ~213,421,037 people.
If country of over 200+ million people is not worth talking about (for some peopleā¦), shouldnāt people only talk about China and India, as they have way more people than most others? š
Petr TesaÅĆk@jwildeboer And his model, Trump? When?
zaicurity@jwildeboer just donāt let him write a book in there.
Arno@zaicurity @jwildeboer Adolf was 36 at the time, Jared is too old for that. Plus who reads books these days?

fedops šš@jwildeboer so it's official - Brazil has a more functional legal system than the US.
How many hours until the orange dick tater announces new tariffs?
@jwildeboer printing out details of the murder plot didnāt help their āoooh it was only w/in legal limitsā defense.

Over the last decade, the United States and Brazil both confronted illiberal threats. The parallels are striking. Both countries elected presidents with authoritarian instincts who, after losing re-election, went after democratic institutions.
Brazil did the right thing. America failed by not bringing Trump to justice and barring him from running for office.

sqrt(-1)@jwildeboer I'm so happy finally he will face the consequences! \o/

cobalt@jwildeboer @Npars01 Id like to think heād actually go to prison but I saw a headline already today that an amnesty deal is likely. Iām guessing thereās much pressure on those judges, the President anyone in high offices there by the Trump people and dark money bribes vs threats.
Nicole ParsonsBrazil has similar levels of income inequality & public corruption by elites as the USA.

Bolsinaro is just the front man, just like Trump.
When wealthy elites abandon basic ideas like law & order applying to everyone, then the backlash isn't far behind.

How come Brazil, not renowned for stable democratic government, can do this but the US cannot?

Thanks for sharing that.
I must say, from that piece, it does look like the trial was rigged, with two of five judges directly linked to the current ruling party and president. There was clearly a plot for a coup, and yet one of the judges found the evidence linking it to Bolsonaro unconvincing. I fear that about half of the Brazilian population will also find the conviction unconvincing.
Bolsonaro is evil. Could he have been removed without shenanigans?
