    In the good alternate universe, we would have done this to Donald in 2021. In an even better one, he would have never been elected, like Jair.

  2. According to the charge,, “Bolsonaro knew about and agreed with the plan to kill President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes.”

  3. So, point of comparison: all of Trump’s indictments hit between March and August of 2023, 26 to 31 months after the coup attempt. This occured 24 months after Bolsonaro’s attempt, so it’s not that much faster than our own investigations.

    Notably, the Supreme Court of Brasil did quickly declare him ineligible for office for 8 years in June of 2023. Our biggest failure was Senate Republicans not convicting Trump in the impeachment trial in 2021.
