I wonder what happens if the Dems win the White House in 2028. Will he be extradited back?

His campaign provided him immunity from prosecution, but now that it's over, he is for some reason unwilling to answer for his crimes.

Well, he'll get a sympathetic reception - Trump has already called the election rigged, and is refusing to recognise Lula. I wouldn't be surprised if there are marines and/or mercs on the eixo monumental in November. Trump will need another war/conflict/invasion/occupation, sorry, special military operation, to distract from the midterm losses, and nabbing Maduro played well in Peoria.

What a coward.

Seems like the current US admin is the only place authoritarian Fascists trying to avoid punishments for their deeds can still escape to ... Hopefully today another certain is-really PM will be coming in as well ... safe place ... until November.

Yesterday he said[0], in free translation: "I never considered leaving the country. I will surrender my passports and defend myself against this outrage, which is a clear attempt to intimidate me." A full-on liar. 0: https://archive.is/d032W#selection-3213.113-3213.279

Very innocent behavior /s

And this man got 48% of the votes. How the hell do these criminals keep fooling so many people? Oh yea, the likes of Meta are doing their bidding. Musk, Zuckerberg & Co. should be charged for meddling in all these elections (Brazil, USA, Germany...)

The most corrupt and coward family in the history of Brazilian politics: Bolsonaro Family

Another criminal immigrant coming to the US.

"A senior Federal Police official said Bolsonaro had not exited the country via any regular migration point." Migration rules are for the poor. Rich people immigrate via private jets or yachts, which are not controlled in any way.
