  If you're from the US: Don't believe Flávio Bolsonaro is fleeing persecution from a leftist dictatorship. He's deeply involved in serious corruption cases with very strong evidence. He's fleeing to your country because he's a corrupt coward who knows he'll be convicted.

  If we had a nickel for every time a Bolsonaro fled to the United States after losing an election, we’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

  Trump constantly screams about how he wants to "stop the criminal immigrants" from coming into America. Meanwhile, defeated presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro just arrived in the US, hours after Brazil cancelled his passports. Brazil's Supreme Court ordered him to surrender his passports amid an investigation into money laundering. Bolsonaro…

  Not maybe, definitely. He's been accumulating scandal after scandal since he was 19, going through law school in Rio de Janeiro while somehow "working" full time at his father's party as a congressional aid in Brasilia, 1000+KM away. Thing is since he was 21 he has occupied a political position, from state congressman to senator, so all…

  And this man got 48% of the votes. How the hell do these criminals keep fooling so many people? Oh yea, the likes of Meta are doing their bidding. Musk, Zuckerberg & Co. should be charged for meddling in all these elections (Brazil, USA, Germany...)

  Losing an election is not grounds for asylum. Yet the Trump Administration is giving Flávio Bolsonaro safe haven in the United States. In Brazil, he is under investigation for alleged corruption, money laundering and currency evasion, and was ordered to surrender his passports.

  The Trump Administration owes Congress answers on its role helping Bolsonaro flee Brazil in contravention of Brazilian law.

  NYT: "Flávio Bolsonaro, the presidential candidate defeated in Sunday’s election in Brazil, left for the United States on Tuesday, according to three U.S. officials, a day after the Brazilian police asked him to hand over his passports because he was being investigated in a money-laundering case." The U.S. is a haven for crooked politicians...

  Usually though we do it after our CIA-backed dictators are couped out of office in smaller nations, and not because the fascist who lost is an ideological ally of our president. It's not better morally, but better for the health of our country.

  As I reported hours ago, Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived safely in United States. The mastermind behind this operation is U.S. Secretary of State @SecRubio . From the United States, free and safe, Flávio will lead the opposition against Lula.

  Bolsonaro hads not been seen since Monday and missed a Tuesday-morning deadline to hand his passport to the federal police, fuelling rumours that he may have fled Brazil after losing on Sunday Lula slammed what he called Bolsonaro’s “shameful” attempt to flee. “This is what the family Bolsonaro are like. Brazil is their second homeland. Their…

  There's a pretty massive grey area between "treat them like full allies" and "declare their government illegitimate" that you're ignoring. You act like it's one or the other when 75% of the world is between those extremes.

  "A senior Federal Police official said Bolsonaro had not exited the country via any regular migration point."Migration rules are for the poor. Rich people immigrate via private jets or yachts, which are not controlled in any way.

  The US at the time was absolutely against fascism. Not really. The US hired Nazi war criminals, like Klaus Barbie, to BE Nazi War criminals in Latin America and help governments terrorise and/or exterminate the popularion.

  His campaign provided him immunity from prosecution, but now that it's over, he is for some reason unwilling to answer for his crimes.

  Ah so tell the world that if a country elects someone democratically, they'll get a tariff. Brilliant idea. I hope he does it. I need this shit stain's administration to look as horrible as possible.
