        And the Untied States will invade Brazil to install him as president. I wish I was kidding and didn’t see this as a real possibility

          Brazil isn’t Venezuela, much bigger, stronger institutions, stronger army etc. Never say never but you think Trump is eager on getting into another Iran war?

            Do you think Trump has the prefrontal cortex mass remaining for that level of critical thinking?

            Well…Iran is a vast country, with a deeply rooted regime, strong military, proxies all over the Middle East ánd the ability to chokehold global energy supplies…

            …and yet Trump was stupid enough to wage war on Iran on a whim. Nuff said.

          Don’t worry, if we were to elect a government in Australia that worked for the people they’d do the same here.

            I tried to get hired on as a cement operator (oil and gas) in Australia for a bit. You all dodged a bullet on that one. I would have been there illegally for damn sure after that work posting ended.

            Edit: drinking all your Goon.

    Brazil showing the US how it’s done. Trump should’ve been that scared after Jan 6.

    A Latin American illegally entering the US on a revoked passport? How much would you bet ICE would cuff him at the airport if he was anyone else?

    One of the biggest indicators of whether a country is a fascist country is that other fascists flee to that country.

      Eh. This is more an indication that Lulu, specifically, has learned his lessons from his first turn at the Presidency and isn’t going to wait around for the Bolsonaros to organize a coup against him.

      Look at Columbia or El Salvador or Ecuador or Chile. They all had a turn at Biden tier liberalism, let the fascism feaster under their watch, and then got flipped to reactionary dictatorships in the next cycle.

      Lulu got jailed once. He came out stronger and smarter. He’s too old to get shoved back into prison again.

    What other Brazilian would be able to fly here on a questionable passport (seeing as he was ordered to surrender it) with no clear plans to ever go back to Brazil? I promise if he was pregnant they would kick his ass back home after some torture.

      What other Brazilian would be able to fly here on a questionable passport (seeing as he was ordered to surrender it) with no clear plans to ever go back to Brazil?

      Perhaps his brother, Eduardo Bolsonaro, who has already been living in the US while facing an arrest warrant in Brazil.
