    He’s shown himself to be a gaslighter… and like the story of the boy who cried wolf..

    …once you know someone is a gaslighter, their word is worth *shit.*

    You have to assume their every word is a manipulative lie.

  2. In which we discover that Brazil’s Supreme Court has more integrity than that of the United States.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if B. feigns illness just to avoid going to prison.

  4. I’d do it. In the interests of political civility I’d let him do house arrest. Especially since a lot of his health problems come from an assassination attempt. Stabbing. 

    Brazil’s like the USA but worse – as far as polarization goes. Sometimes you got to dial back the vengeance to make that better. They held Bolsonaro accountable and put an end to his political career. Good. For what he did – good. 

    But now is when you offer the defeated generous terms.

    It’s essential that Bolsonaro remain in a prison cell with zero special privileges for the entirety of his term to other world leader shitheels that not *all* sins in this life go unpunished even for the most powerful among us.

  6. Hallmark of a coward. Coward free, coward imprisoned. At least one of these bastards are behind bars, in luxury albeit.

  7. Quite a contrast with US court system which has failed abysmally by allowing convicted criminal to claim power of US presidency.

  8. Well he did already try to remove his ankle monitor once already sooo.🤦‍♂️

  9. Bolsanro: I should be President right now, but was screwed by illegal actions in the last election

    Bolsanro: I am too sick to do anything but stay at home under house arrest (cough, cough).

    FU.

  10. He can get fucked.

    Directly responsible for thousands of deaths during the pandemic. People gasping for air and he laughed about it. Mocked them.

    He doesn’t deserve to live but God I wish he stays alive in the can for a long time, while he suffers.

  11. It feels so good to see that hateful man get his comeuppance. I remember when I first heard about him and was disgusted that this vile man could get so far in life. Since then, I’ve realized that it’s a prerogative…
