This is what should have happened to trump

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

It's a perfect parallel. Brazil cleaned house of their traitor, America wimped out.

We are literally the weakest nation on Earth. We won't even protect ourselves from the most serious existential threat that our country has faced in over 150 years.

[–] MangioneDontMiss@feddit.nl 3 points 19 hours ago

America didn't wimp out, it's government is just completely non-functional.

I am yet to see any sign that the upper echelos of the Democratic party aren't in on it.

Unfortunately, without a grassroots movement that has a way to guarantee that people will commit and vote for a third single-issue party that will actually change things without going into ideological divisions, and just fix the money in politics and electoral system and stuff like that, then declare elections again right away, things will not change.

More and more, I'm seeing the Dems actually RESIST any effort to regain our nation from the treasonous MAGA Nazis. Who cares if Minneapolis or New York gets a Socialist mayor, at least they aren't literal Nazis, but the Dem leadership doesn't agree.

The Establishment Dems have made it very clear that they would prefer a MAGA in office than a Democratic Socialist. They now have one issue - Insider Trading. It's the only reason they stay in power; it certainly isn't because they believe in Democratic issues, they haven't advocated for those things since Obama, and even he was really weak.

It's all about corruption now, and the Dems are on board for it.

This is why I have been an Unaffiliated Independent since I first registered to vote in 1977. Both parties are corrupt, and I don't want to be part of either club.

What I find crazy is that in 2024 I was telling people if they vote 3rd party, they're basically just voting for trump. Fast forward to today, and I'm thinking maybe now is the time to vote for those 3rd party candidates. Voting for dems, even if they win, doesn't seem to be helping much. Biden was basically useless in doing the most important thing he had to do; secure our elections. Maybe the democratic party needs to just die. And while I say that, I'm fully aware that the country will only slip deeper into dictatorship and fascism if democrats lose to republicans, but maybe that just needs to happen. Maybe things need to get really fucking bad for people to actually wake up and realize that voting, protesting, doing all this docile shit... is just completely impotent and worthless. Look at Nepal, they picked up their torches and took their country back in just a few days!!!

Here is some snippets of what's in the Birthday book. They've covered the faces, but it it's not great. I've put a trigger warning on the young girl and toddler, but the rest is okay, you won't see anything unless you read it or really look at it. This is just what I've gone through so far, I could only take so much.

In section called children and he isn't known to have any children

underage maybe?

That boat story is some Dennis Reynolds shit.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago

Except there are no implications with a knife, that's straight up rape.

Smells like someone who never learned to write basic English because their rich parents paid to get them into Ivy League.

A country where politicians who make coup attempts are punished rather than elected again?

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They learned their lesson the hard way. We might too.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It really isn't a lesson a country should have to learn, don't let people who commit treason be your leader! Do people need to learn not to date known rapists?

Brazil showing the USA how to act

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Hey OP, the article you linked actually says that four of five found him guilty, one wanted to acquit. Reuters, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, FAZ, NYT, Folha and Estadão all say it was four votes.

Proper action on the day in which we all remember the assassination of Salvador Allende at the hands of the CIA.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Good, let's hope this causes Trump to have another stroke.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

wait, so, he's actually going to face consequences? or is he getting reelected?

[–] viking@infosec.pub 0 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Can't reelect a convicted felon outside of the US, so no, he's going to prison. Potentially reduced to house arrest when he makes it to 85. If, that is.

[–] Yazer@lemmy.ca 1 points 17 hours ago

Convicted felons should be allowed to be elected. Take Nelson Mandela for example. There are many times a suppresive regime will imprison someone, that shouldn't exclude them from office.

Also, lots of countries allow people convicted to run.

Supreme Courts are allowed to find their 70-year-old racist presidents guilty of attempting to overthrow the government?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 32 points 1 day ago

Only in countries that don't have a heritage foundation/ federalist society equivalent that has been stacking their court systems with rubber stamp fascists.

QUE DEUS O ELEMINE AMÉM

Muito melhor do que mostrar pro mundo a superioridade do nosso futebol é criar tendencia de como defender a república. Essa noite aqueles que se importam com a democracia nos olham com admiração. Lutemos para que isso seja o prenúncio de um futuro democrático e do império da lei.

AQUI É BRASIL, CARALHO! 🇧🇷

The pictures of him weeping make me so happy.

What a little bitch.

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Brazil - gettin’ shit done.

The punishment for an attempted coup here is that you have to be president again.

[–] ruan@lemmy.eco.br 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Being honest, there's still a long way to go here. Next year's elections will be very important for Brazil. But, 4 years of Trump, then 4 years of Bolsonaro, then Trump again now, that's a lot of damage, and some people that I don't see leaving the cult. Access to bias confirming "news" channels (mostly through social networks, there are plenty propaganda groups in WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and lately TikTok, and also YouTube Channels) makes some people seem to be living in a different universe.

With tech companies profiting lots of political "controversy", US big tech companies having a big predominance in Brazil, and also tech companies being used as a state political discourse dominance weapon we are pretty much at their mercy. META can definetly skew elections to a candidate of their own, or to the "least damaging" candidate to their interests, and there's no way for the Brazilian governement, be it executive body, justice system, or congress to do anything about it. So the tendency is to everytime more and more legislators to be sided with the tech companies objectives, which ARE ALL FOREIGN companies, and that IS definetly very detrimental for any kind of actual democracy.

And, of course, the current tech companies aligned legislators, and most proeminent "right wing" prospects for presidential run next year, are all sided with Bolsonaro (that, for me, makes all of them extreme right wing candidates) because that guarantees them only chance to having an actual significant amount of votes, since hardcore Bolsonaro supporters makes at least 20-30% of the population. All those candidates basically have pledged to give Bolsonaro an amnesty, and current Bolsonaro supporters in the congress are trying eveyday to passando new laws to favor him too (and remembering that most supreme court judges have already declared that an amnesty for the coup attempt would be unconstitutional), however the next president will also be able to appoint 3 other judges for the supreme court, and Bolsonaro has currently appointed two of the 11 judges, that could give Bolsonaro a chance of having an amnesty either by the president or the congress.

TL;DR: There's still a lot of shit to be done here, and the right wing extremist wave is definetly not going away easily.

Can we get some of that here? Sadly our motivated assassins are doing neck shots on influencers and missing the actual threats.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

I thought you were just supposed to let coup attempters off Scot free to try again until they eventually overthrow your democracy.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

More uplifting news.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago

Wow, can you imagine if a former president of the Untied States attempted a coup? Surely such a treasonous act would be prosecuted with the utmost severity.
