The former president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, has been sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison after being found guilty of plotting a military coup.

A panel of five Supreme Court justices handed down the sentence just hours after they had convicted the former leader.

They ruled he was guilty of leading a conspiracy aimed at keeping him in power after he lost the 2022 election to his left-wing rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

    Weird that judges decide the verdict instead of a jury. Is that normal in Brazil? Seems very abusable.

    Yes, very polite. Starting with calling how it’s done in other places weird and finishing with accusing it of being just plain corruption.

    Face it asshole. You’re just a regular USAian thinking the world is that poor excuse of a country and everything else is worse.

      Nope. You don’t know shit about me. Fuck off.

      Is this how you treat everyone from other countries? I’ve heard tell that many Europeans are xenophobic but I didn’t realize it was this bad.

        No, just arrogant USAians.

        We’re not trying to build walls and ICE acts over there. Saying Europeans are xenophobic. Do you have the faintest seed of an idea of how fucking idiotic that is?

          Neither am I dipshit. That’s what I’m trying to explain to you. Unlike you, I’m responding to your behavior and not some imagined category.

          Note I didn’t say Europeans are xenophobic. Just many of of them. And you.
