Gregory Hays: Wow, real banana republic stuff. I'm glad our presidents can launder money and associate criminally without worrying about this kind of thing.

Wow, real banana republic stuff. I'm glad our presidents can launder money and associate criminally without worrying about this kind of thing.

Reports: Brazil police have indicted Jair Bolsonaro for money laundering and criminal association

And I'm glad to live in a country where Evangelicals whole heartedly support a peodophile for President.

Well, to be fair, some Brazilian evangelicals wholly support paedophiles here as well

Just like I said: “Evangelical priest (and influencer) arrested for sharing child p*rn in São Paulo” glo.bo/3zvoMTf

Quem é o pastor com 457 mil seguidores preso por compartilhar pornografia infantil no interior de SPglo.bo Morador de Valinhos (SP) administra canal no YouTube onde oferece aulas bíblicas, inclusive para jovens. Segundo a PF, essa não é a primeira vez que o homem comete o delito.

Never thought I'd envy Brazilians and British on the same day, especially today.

Technically speaking Trump couldn't do this as President, but if he did it as President none of the evidence against him would be admissable! So if you could convict him without evidence, that would work!

Support of trial by trebuchet growing.

If Trump was found to also have Saudi diamonds, SCOTUS would find that the receipt of them would have been an official act and/or a gratuity. 🙄

It's only uncinstitutional for the president to receive money from foreigners, it's not actually illegal.

Correct. Violation of the emoluments clause, or even quid pro quo, as it would obviously be transactional, is an impeachable offense of high crimes and misdemeanors. But who would ever expect Trump to uphold the Constitution?

Legalizing bribery and corruption was a genius move

looks like bolsonaro forgot to appoint enough judges

Thank god Bolsonaro is not old.

Because he'll spend more time in prison? I get that

Technically our president can only associate criminally if our president gives those criminals jobs in the executive branch, thereby making their association part of a core presidential function. Also, our president can only launder money doing it through criminals they put in the executive branch.

I dunno, it's a Presidential function to run the Department of Justice and the Treasury so he's got presumptive immunity for both those things which may be sufficient.

Has he tried asking his court for immunity?

When Brazil is ahead of your own country for accountability, you’ve got serious problems. #scotus

Merrick Garland has everything under control....

We live in hell because SCOTUS is a criminal operation in robes.

Latin America has plenty of smart leaders who work hard to root out the corruption that our governments often prefer. We might support a coup against them. They are up against a lot. Their own corrupt sectors and ours

He’s like hiding out in Kissimmee right? if I could get Lula to ok it I’ll go citizen arrest the fucker myself for Brazilian citizenship

We have banana 🍌 republic_ans

Whaaaat? No, all people in power are flawless of character and have only the best interests of the people at heart! Or at least that's what I heard.

Bolsonaro and Trump were very good buddies. Are? Probably.

Rogue cops, eh?

Brazil has there former fascist criminal dbag president, the USA has one too.

Yes but Brazil actually might hold theirs somewhat accountable.

More like bananas republic, amiright?

I haven't heard anything good about prisons in Brazil.

It is not so clear Brazilian rules are better: was a real blow to democracy when former president Lulu was jailed on corruption charges and disqualified from running for election again (and then the prosecutor was appointed to the new right wing government!)
