Perfectly normal behavior for a politician who lost the election. Also perfectly normal is to tell your supporters the election was stolen and incite them to invade government offices.

Like father, like son. Unsurprisingly, he's also been granted a no-questions-asked visa here in the US.

Completely expected based on his family’s corruption racket. He ran for President in hopes of undermining the investigations against him and his family. Now he’s going to the US to hide out and pretend that the election he lost was illegitimate.

With the support of the US Government too.

Original Facist: get elected to commit crimes. Neofascist: get elected to escape justice.

Flavio Bolsonaro, a Brazilian senator and former presidential candidate, has reportedly left Brazil for the United States, according to reports published by international media outlets. The news emerged Tuesday, one day after the conservative politician claimed that Brazilian authorities had ordered him to surrender both his regular and diplomatic passports and barred him from leaving the country. So far, the circumstances surrounding his alleged departure have not been conclusively established.

He's probably gonna settle in Miami with the rest of his kind, like the terrorist bomber Luis Posadas Carriles, who bombed a Cuban airliner killing 73 civilians, who the US gave protection and sanctuary to in Miami, until he died there peacefully.

Not good. Its hard for VZ to make moves against her when the US is holding their head of state hostage.

Speaking to reporters overnight, Trump indicated he would agree to Bolsonaro coming to the US.

“Well, I would approve. I ⁠think they’re fine ⁠people. The election was very ⁠strange, and I thought it ⁠was terrible,” he said.

Right from the top. Another example of Trump being a fan of a literal loser for the pile. Another example of just how far the population of the US have let their government sink.

Just what does that sentient bucket of orange shit have to do exactly to provoke enough of a response to enact change?

If there is a 2nd American Civil War, we can do Lula a favor and handle this piece of fascist trash.

[–] Crankenstein@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

There won't be. For there to be a civil war there has to be a legitimate resistance movement that poses an actual threat to the state, and the US left is so dysfunctional and disorganized thanks to decades of political manipulation by the state that it knows there is no real threat to their power. It's why they are pulling the mask off. They are comfortable in knowing they will face no legitimate resistance.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 days ago (12 children)

I think you're a bit too doomer. The rise of socialism and communism among the younger generations in the US is being directly contested by NSPM-7 and other COINTELPRO style attacks. The capitalist state and class recognize that there is a very real threat to their power that looms, and so they are trying to strangle the baby as it is beginning to walk.

The fall of the Iron Curtain came suddenly, without warning or any significant resistance. It just happened, and everybody jumped on it.

[–] Gpennyhigh@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Flavio Bolsonaro faces multiple serious allegations, including embezzlement via a fake salary scheme, money laundering through undeclared assets and shell companies, and potential ties to organized crime. Prosecutors have presented financial records, witness testimonies, and property records as evidence, but no final convictions have been secured. Given the documented financial irregularities and ongoing court restrictions (passport revocation), the likelihood of guilt is moderate to high (60–70%), though definitive proof remains under judicial review.

[–] tunetardis@piefed.ca 19 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

Wow that didn't take long.

I'm not super on top of Brazilian politics. How did this go down? Was it something like:

FB: The election was rigged! I demand a court hearing!

LdS: Oh, you'll get your court date all right.

FB: 😳 Ok…uh…I'll be on the next plane up there…

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 26 points 5 days ago (1 children)

pretty much. he was already being investigated for his crimes, and there was talk he went to be a senator precisely for the parliamentary immunity.

[–] Crankenstein@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Parliamentary immunity is such a bullshit concept in the same vein as "qualified immunity" for the pigs.

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 15 points 5 days ago

They ordered him to surrender his passports, he refused to comply and left the country instead.

That says argentinian air force, while the article states the airline is baires fly, a private airline.

Apparently it's FAG594, looks like was trying to cross over Chile but now is going back?

[–] midi@reddthat.com 9 points 5 days ago

Looks like he changed plane, took N5LL which is not available for public tracking per request from the owner/operator.

Apparently he already landed in Miami, succesfully escaped.

Stay tuned because tomorrow a Crybaby will give a press conference, dunno directly from a Whitehouse??? whining like a real fascist, saying that elections were rigged and that his Pappy was counting on him to be set free from a terrible cacodemonic unearthly house arrest.

He might pass out as well, so stay tuned for that too.

He also promised to bring his defective brother back, and because of diabolical plot of students from Brazil and popular mobilization, everything went to hell, and in unlikly turn of events he joined his brother instead.

Thank God that Senior Fascist made 4 of them, 2 are already in US, and 1,5 still in Brazil. There is still some room for another coup.

If it was some poor Mexican crossing a border, he'd be greeted by ICE-kickout, but this nobleman will probably get some real lolly today, iykwim.

And btw, Lula turned 81 today! What a happy coincidence. Happy Birthday Lula.

How did this motherfucker get out of the country without a passport?

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 days ago

He has buddies in the narco-financial complex.

[–] Cricket@lemmy.zip 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

He didn't turn in his passport. They ordered him to, but he fled instead.

[–] trilobite@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 days ago (3 children)
