    In the words of a certain bronzed and bloated baboon: “They’re not sending their best… They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us.”

    But of course we’re accepting this scumbag. Because he fits in so well with those currently in charge.

    Nothing says “I’m legitimate” more than fleeing your country after a botched frauded election

      He’s fleeing because winning the election was the only way to extend his immunity to prosecution. He has a bunch of pending cases regarding corruption, tax evasion, a financing scandal, and money laundering.

    I’ve seen another story saying he was ordered to hand in his passport and he said he was going to comply.

      Well, if you read the article, he didn’t hand them in and they were canceled. Also:

      A senior Brazilian Federal Police official said Bolsonaro has not exited the country via any regular migration point.

      Probably, took off on someone’s private yacht or something like that.

        They say he crossed over land to Argentina and had a plane waiting there to take him to the US, but bailed on the last part (at least with that particular plane) when the plot was revealed.
