US is the new Argentina I see

Ah, now the American South is importing right-wing losers from other countries to bolster their numbers.
This guy is such a World Class Hypocrite that he both said "I'm not running away from Brasil" AND "I would be the victim of a witch hunt if I stayed in Brasil".
Another "You know he's lying by his mouth being open" type.
By the way, Brasil needs to drop the whole "Immunity for Parliamentarians" third world crap - this guy has been avoiding prosecution for several crimes for years because he was a member of the Brasilian version of Parliament (which he is not anymore, hence a Court ordering his passport confiscated and him running away to the US).
That Immunity trick keeps mafiosi far-right crime families from having to pay for their crimes as long as they go into politics and is probably what's seriously distorting the Brasilian political landscape (in a better country a guy like Lula would've retired by now - in fact, he tried and that ended with Bolsonaro senior elected as President, which is why he came back and was a Presidential candidate in the following elections)
When you have to flee the country when you lost the election is a really bad sign. When you flee to the US instead if a country like Russia, the standard for fleeing to when you're corrupt or a war criminal, that also says a lot about the US. But with a child raping pedophile as president, you can expect shit like this.
Why does the Guardian refuse to let me read any articles? Do all of you commenting have logged in Guardian accounts? I can never click a Guardian link and see anything but bullshit demanding that I log in and let their IT dogs sniff my asshole.
Its a soft paywall. Decline the upsell and it’ll give up
If you're in the EU it demands that you either log-in or allow them to track you with cookies.
The few times I actually read the article I just open it in a Private browser window, to in this specific case that stuff is currently being covered extensivelly on TV (I'm in Portugal) so no point in reading that article.
I'd assume adblock?

On the bright side, losing the election has apparently done wonders for his looks 😄
I’m glad someone else mentioned this. Wtf is that picture lol?!
He is a fugitive so he got plastic surgery to become unrecognizable, nothing to see here
Perhaps now that her latent dysphoria has been addressed Flavia may finally realize that happiness is found with your friends, not fascist assaults on democracy.
How do the people who voted for him view this? Do they feel some sort of betrayal/abandonment? Or was there a risk if he stayed?
Apparently his party admitted they lost the election. So he's just kind of going rogue on this one
I'm pretty sure the actual reason is he's going to be prosecuted for tax evasion. But of course he's framing that as a "political witch hunt by leaders of a coup"
He was literally relying on his parliamentary immunity for years to avoid being prosecuted for several crimes, not to mention that when his daddy was in power he did quite a lot to try and stop or disrupt those prosecutions (to the point of nominating a Supreme Court judge who immediatelly started interfering in those cases and the evidence around them).
Oh, and his brother too already fled Brasil to the US years ago to escape Brasilian Justice.
The Bolsonaros are a Crime Family and only the third world nature of some political structures in Brasil (most notably the way Parliamentary immunity is set up) lets people like these get to the level they get (that and the very large proportion of extremelly stupid people, similar to the US).
Cool, going fash in Florida with the child rapists.
Isn't that the same place the Taint Bros. coincidentally landed in at the start of Dump's 2nd term? You know, after being arrested in Romania for human trafficking...
Like father like son. Remember his imprisoned father going to Florida after losing in 2022?
Crime family asking for help from another crime family.
These republicans are another level of crooked.
His brother too fled to the US years ago to escape Brasilian Justice.
Like father like son. Remember his imprisoned father going to Florida after losing in 2022?
if Trump were already president by then he would never have returned, so here's hoping the USA get an at least okay-ish leader soon
Has Trump declared him rightful president of Brazil yet?
Trump actually washed his hands off the situation saying he ain't getting involved.
F'course.
That's Trump, he's pretty mercurial. So he might change his mind.
I thought we weren't letting criminal immigrants in? I mean his government is looking for him for some serious crimes. And we even made an extra official immune force to get rid of these dangerous people 🤔 How did this one have a hot off the press visa waiting for him in Florida? Someone must have stumbled with some paperwork somewhere. /s
Nothing screams Nationalism like fleeing your nation
Florida literally harboring the worst criminals in the world for decades.
Florida Man
Florida man loses Brazilian election.
Florida seem like the hangout spot for the world's traitors. Strange that they put up with that
"International criminal feeling justice welcomed by US government." -- Not really surprising given the nature of the current administration.
