Biden wanted to blow republicans kisses.

Garland was scared of his own shadow.

Democrats wasted the past four years whistling past the graveyard.

That is a shame. What, this guy missed Trump's ploy of stacking the SC with toadies?

We are truly a Banana Republic now... worse than, actually, as you say.

Yep. Americans wanted a Stupid Daddy Strong Man to spank them when they ever managed to even whine a bit about being under the Oligarch's Corporate Thumb... and dems offered an intelligent black-ish woman.

Never gonna happen, it seems.

@#1 ... It's sad that Brazil is better at handling insurrectionist ---------- than the USA. ...

Apparently, but maybe too soon to tell.

What is interesting is that back in the time, I remember fmr Pres Bolsonaro saying ho much he admired Pres-elect Trump and was echoing his (Trump's) tactics.

So, now they both seem to have wound up in similar place, i.e., charged with coup-type crimes.

Quelle surprise.


Bolsonaro: I 'admire' Trump (2018)

... Jair Bolsonaro, the favorite to win the second round of Brazil's presidential elections, on Thursday declared himself an "admirer" of US President Donald Trump.

Speaking during his first news conference since securing 46 percent of the vote in Sunday's first round -- trailed by leftist Fernando Haddad, who took 29 percent -- populist Bolsonaro also denied being a far-right leader.

"I'm not far-right. Point to me an act of mine that is far-right," he said.

"When I spoke of the migration question, it's because we can't have a country with open borders," he added, a point echoing Trump's anti-immigration rhetoric.

"I'm an admirer of President Trump. He wants a great United States -- I want a great Brazil." ...

Remember when Ameriricans thought "it can't happen here?" Now it's "it did happen here!"

Lamp; big difference is that our courts are totally sold out so there will never be justice for Donald Trump. Roy Cohn taught him well how to avoid it.
