I hope so, but history indicates otherwise.

No burning the Amazon. But now we have to worry if trump won't try to repeat what he did in Venezuela here.

More info from the similar Guardian article:

Bolsonaro allies told Metrópoles [news outlet] that he would land in Florida on Tuesday afternoon and planned to request political asylum. “The Donald Trump administration has been informed,” the website added.

A US state department spokesperson said Bolsonaro and his family would be granted visas “to allow them entry into the United States.”

Bolsonaro has had Italian citizenship since 2023 and reportedly possesses a passport from the European country.

Lula slammed what he called Bolsonaro’s “shameful” decision to flee. “This is what the family Bolsonaro are like. Brazil is their second homeland. Their first homeland is licking the boots of the US, as he’s become accustomed to doing,” he said at an event celebrating his 81st birthday in Brasília.

Think he's begging for an "intervention"?

I hope 'Untied' States wasn't a typo, because that has the ring of truth.

<Insert the astronaut "always has been" meme>

Call ICE on the fucker.

I wouldn't count on it. Kegsbreath will probably have his public execution if they resist.

It wasn't. I've been spelling it that way since Trump has been back in power

Lol! In two more steps he will be trading nuclear hits with France and the UK to distract the population from his earlier mistakes...

They weren't much of a joke, but people laughing at the most probable scenario.

I completely expected him to flee in December. It being today was a surprise.

🌎🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀

I miss the days when wanabe dictators would flee for Russia…

Well…Iran is a vast country, with a deeply rooted regime, strong military, proxies all over the Middle East ánd the ability to chokehold global energy supplies…

…and yet Trump was stupid enough to wage war on Iran on a whim. Nuff said.

And his other son is living in Texas avoiding prosecution in Brazil for the coup plot.

So... Trump's nominating him for a UN position as well, right?

I noticed that my phone no longer autocorrects wwiii to WWII, and has started correcting it to WWIII

2028 TRUMP • BISONYAHOO

Trump's own words

Deforestation of the Amazon has only slowed under Lula, not stopped.

Check Jose Aldo's couch.

Obligatory "it's easier to send someone out of the solar system than fire them into the sun" comment

Call ICE.

Criminals used to flee America. Now we're importing them and giving them government jobs. I hate this timeline

Obligatory "you could use technically use orbital mechanics to send a craft really far away from the sun and let it fall into the sun... if you wanted to wait a REALLY long time" Comment.

Wait til you hear about Operation Paperclip...

Why is he coming to the US? What's he going to do here? Where will he stay?

He's an idiot. Also a narcissist, so easy to manipulate. He always thinks he's right and he always thinks he knows better. He's unpredictable imo.

He refused to comply with the order I think I read

I hear his bolsonaro has a flavio.

He has his father's weak chin.

A little less burning more quietly yes. It would be worse with weakchin douchelord there obviously. Lula isn't great though, he won as a rejection of weakchin douchelord, not because of himself. No one likes him particularly, outside the same percent of sheep that like our dems or pubs here.

Not a fucking chance. What we would do, is cut a deal with their military to seize control, which, is what we did in Venezuela in case no one told you that yet.

He doesn't have the juice for that.

They also have 60 million people that voted for Facio.

Pretty much. All of this is part of their theater. He flies from facing the consequences of his crimes but the far right will of course spin it around, lying about some political witch hunt. It's always the same with these criminal politicians. Everyone else is the bad one. They know they simply have to keep denying everything and some idiots will keep believing them. It's sad, really.

The average big macho testosterone-filled right winger btw

Idi Amin spent the last couple of decades of his life in Saudi Arabia. I can't think of anything that Saudi Arabia has in common with Russia ...

Hey, we did get the moon landing out of it.

The Untied Snakes of Vespucciland

Guaido 2.0

He’s probably going to do the same thing his dad did, something incredibly stupid and illegal.

And the minuteman

I wish more politicans would leave after they lost.

Went would he do it after '28?

Depends on which crime we talkin.

He thinks he can run for a third term. While a third term is blatantly unconstitutional, and similar constitutional terms should have kept him off the ballot in 2024, he survived those legal challenges somehow and remained a candidate.

But being a candidate is no guarantee of winning, and like both Bolsonaro senior and junior, the second he is not protected from prosecution by occupying elected office (which is itself legally questionable: the framers never wanted another king), his status becomes only that of a private citizen under multiple criminal investigations.

Should he run again and lose -- or even do the normal thing and walk away when his current term is over -- he is looking at a lifetime of investigations, prosecutorial attempts at conviction, and legal fees that over time would add up to more than the national budget of some small countries (I'm not even joking).

Only the presidency keeps him from that. If our democracy isn't dead by then, the next US president will be elected in November 2028 and Trump will be out of office and out of time.

He is an asset of Trump (more specifically of Rubio) to destabilize Brazil's democracy. He lost and now he is going to the US to ask asylum.
Besides that, he's a notorious corrupt politician and there are many criminal investigations that will proceed now that he's close to losing parliamentary protection.

I can’t think of anything that Saudi Arabia has in common with Russia …

The prosperity of both seem to have a lot to do with oil exports.

The mid-terms are a week away.

On 30 December 2022, one day before the end of his term, Bolsonaro arrived in the US state of Florida and resided in Kissimmee for several months.[188][189] On 8 January 2023, his supporters attacked the buildings of the Supreme Court of Brazil, the National Congress, and the Planalto Presidential Palace to instigate a military coup d'état and reinstate Bolsonaro as president.[190]
