Brazil's prosecutor-general on Tuesday formally charged former President Jair Bolsonaro with attempting a coup to stay in office after his 2022 election defeat, in a plot that included a plan to poison his successor and current President Luiz Incio Lula da Silva and kill a Supreme Court judge.

Ray Epps masterminded this coup.

MIAMI (AP) " President Donald Trump's media company sued a Brazilian Supreme Court justice on Wednesday, accusing him of violating U.S. free speech protections when he imposed a ban on a right-wing supporter of the country's former President Jair Bolsonaro.

The lawsuit in Tampa federal court was filed just hours after Bolsonaro was charged in Brazil for participating in a would-be coup aimed at allowing him to stay in office after his 2022 election defeat to current President Luiz Incio Lula da Silva.

The plot, prosecutors allege, included a plan to poison Lula and shoot dead Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, the main judicial foe of the former president."

I'm sure the Supreme Court of Brazil really gives a shht what Trump has to say.

China has replaced America as Brazil's main trade partner.

We've got zero leverage other than starting a war.

This is what happens when America spends two decades waging failed wars in the Middle East while China developed business relations with the nations of the world.

America has fallen.

We just haven't noticed it yet.

If that were true, I'd have more hope for the US. Right now I have very little.

At least the Brazilians know what to do with a traitor. Hang em High!
