Hi Redial: We both struck the same bell at the same time. As long this tree-killing fascist is imprisoned, it's all good.

That will depend on what penalties Lewzer rains down on Brazil.

Hi Redial: That's true, but I'm confident the Brazilians can handle whatever the Trump junta tries to do. BTW: The Brazilians seemed to enjoy the NFL game held there and Lady Gaga's free concert earlier this year. As long as progressives stick together across borders, we have a chance.

Lady Gaga's free concert

Twenty-seven years in prison is what Trump should have gotten, in the expectation that he would die there.

Roman Empire and all that.

Why couldn't America do something like this?

Brazil teaching the US about Rule of Law.

Who'd a Thunk it.

Better stock up on coffee.

Maybe Brazil can now give the USA some lessons on how a democracy should function. But more likely the genie is out of the bottle and the USA is on a race to the bottom. Only an insane country would elect a madman who earlier orchestrated a failed coup attempt.

"Rubio vows US response.

Could 'Lil Marco be more of a "brown noser?" So pathetic.

"Rubio vows US response."

What is his rationale?

That this is an offense to Coup plotters, insurrectionists and wannabe facist dictators all around the globe?
