    This is not revenge. It’s persecution of their political enemies, which is one of the first steps by any fascist government intent on taking over.

    Americans, this is another warning. You are running out of time to stop this.

      Stop saying “one of the first steps”. We’re several steps in with military in blue cities already.

      It’s so hard to watch. Bolsonaro pulled a DJT and has been sentenced until he’s in his late 90s and can’t run for office until he’s 110.

      DJT does it in “the greatest country in the world”, rapes a bunch of people including children, is found guilty of over 30 cases of fraud, abducts people from their homes and sends them to offshore torture facilities, participates wholeheartedly in genocide, etc, etc… and he’s having a wonderful time with all the power in the world supporting him.

      Lol. I mentioned this to a few Americans I know. Their response? Checks and balances. It’s all a distraction.

      I guess for these idiots (georgetown scl) their country is someone else’s problem.

      I hope it does, a big part of how we ended up here was because dipshits in the Obama administration refused to go after W’s people who committed crimes because they didn’t think it would poll well

    They’ll attack anything that threatens their power. So it is pretty easy to see where they are vulnerable.

    It’s Kash Patel. Kash Patel is following Hegseth’s lead. There’s nothing to do with the FBI involved.
