  1. Trump had committed so many obvious crimes in his first term that I was fairly sure that he would be serving his prison sentence within a year of leaving office. That he remained free and was in fact allowed to run for President again is one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in history.

  2. That statement would be true in EVERY other country apart from America.

    In the UK, the Prime Minister was booted out of office for having a party in HIS OWN HOUSE.

  4. > The Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has hit back at Donald Trump’s campaign against the South American country’s judiciary, claiming the US president would be put on trial in Brazil had the January 6 US Capitol attacks taken place there.

    >Trump has triggered what some experts call the greatest ever diplomatic rupture between the US and Brazil by slapping 50% tariffs on Brazilian imports and sanctioning a supreme court judge in an attempt to help his far-right ally, ex-president Jair Bolsonaro, avoid prison for allegedly trying to stage a coup after he lost the 2022 election to Lula.

    >Bolsonaro faces a four-decade jail sentence when the supreme court announces its verdict in the coming weeks – proceedings Trump has called a “witch-hunt” and has urged Brazilian authorities to halt.

    This is to show you that there’s literally NO REASON for Brazil and the US to be beefing with each other (since they have a history of working together and Brazil even fought for the Allies in WW2) if it wasn’t for this low-level, kid-diddler, saggy meatbag, treasonous PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT that the US managed to put in power for a second fucking time, even with all the biggest red flags right in their faces.

  5. Not to mention the fake electors plot which was really at the heart of his scheme.

  6. He was about to be put on trial in the US until the supreme court swooped in at the 11th hour and decided he had broad immunity that just happened to include what he was about to be put on trial for.

  7. This also would have happened in basicalyy all other countries except North Korea, Russia, Turkey, Belarus, Hubgary and Venezuela

  9. Trump would have been tar and feathered if he were around in 1776

  10. There was a time I thought Trump would be put on trial in the U.S. too.. :/

  11. ANOTHER 25% TARIFFS FOR THE RADICAL LUNATIC LIBERALS OF BRAZIL!!

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER,

    DJT, career criminal/ alleged-pedophile/ adjudicated rapist

  14. He was going to then hold the country voted him back in.

  16. A convicted felon and pedo would actually be held accountable????

  17. For thousands of years failed coup atttempts have only ended one way. Ironically they are alive because of leftists of past generations.

  18. That is what would happen in a country where the rule of law was real.

  19. Brazil has a more functional democracy than the U.S.

  20. Everyone here was too chickenshit to hold him accountable.

  23. Do you feel like we have all of the details of what occurred on Jan 6th? I’m confident that if Trump could be convicted he would have been in jail today. That pesky discovery keeps this in the media not in the courts.

  24. LOL, he’d be sitting in prison in any other country.

  27. Duh, if it happened anywhere else that would be the outcome.

  28. He would be put on trial in US too. Not sure why he was not. Anyone know?

  30. There are punishments and consequences for someone committing treason to take over the US government?

    What a country that has law and order!

  32. Welp America, you have finally become so fucking pathetically corrupt that Brazil is righteously calling you out. BRAZIL! Ffs

  33. In what kind of third world country is inciting a coup illegal? Seems it was barely frowned upon here.

  35. In America? We harbor and reward criminals from across the globe.

  36. But, you see, our politicians are mostly cowards and whores. Outside a handful that actually try, it’s all just . . . cowards and whores.

  38. Well, in the US we let rich white men do whatever the fuck they want.

  40. We had a “riot” following the last election, and the people are actually getting prosecuted by the supreme court. Pretty sure they straight up got years in jail for invading the congress building.

  43. He would have been on trial in America too if Garland wasn’t AG.

  45. Trump would have been out on trial in the USA also if it wasn’t a crap hole country like it is now….

  46. The president of Peru was arrested an hour after his attempted coup.
