Court orders Bolsonaro to wear ankle tag and puts him under curfew

A court has ordered Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro to wear an ankle tag and put him under curfew over fears he might abscond while standing trial.
Bolsonaro - in power in 2019-22 - is accused of plotting a coup to prevent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva from taking office in 2023. He denies any wrongdoing.
US President Donald Trump has been attempting to quash the case against his ally, which he calls a "witch hunt", by threatening steep tariffs on Brazilian goods. On Friday, the US revoked visas for Brazilian judicial officials involved in the case.
Bolsonaro said the court restrictions amounted to "supreme humiliation" and that he had never considered leaving Brazil.

I wonder what it's like having a country that actually holds accountability against traitorous scum.

From Australia, it's pretty good.

Remember Trumps last term when ASAP Rocky got arrested in Sweden for assault?

Trump called the Swedish PM and tried to convince him to let Rocky go.
If it had happened today, we would probably see a ban of Swedish Visas, Swedish tariffs and a ban of IKEA.

Atleast you guys don't have Scomo anymore.

Of course Trump is siding with the man who plotted a coup and tried to have his political opponents killed. He wants to do that here.

Trump already did do that here. At least the coup part.

Also, Brazil should've jailed Bolsonaro without bail instead of just an ankle monitor.

Biden appointing Garland, as if AG was a consolation prize for Moscow Mitch blocking him from the Supreme Court, was a catastrophe that America might never recover from.

Let's be honest. Merrick Garland would have been a no-vote on every vote in the SC and just sat home every day. Not that I prefer what we got but the guy wouldn't be doing shit there either. Lazy asshole.
