Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Brazil's supreme court has ordered former President Jair Bolsonaro to wear an ankle monitor.

The decision came as the former president's home and party headquarters in Brasilia were searched on Friday.

Members of Bolsonaro's right-wing Liberal Party said he was also ordered to stop using social media and end communications with diplomats.

They did

And make no mistake Lula is also a crook, he just so happens to be a crook I'm aligned politically with (reformist leftist rather than neofascist)

But that just further proves the Teflon claim:

He did get locked up.

And now he's president again.

Idk how it is in the first world

But over here it's pretty much a known fact that every politician is a Mafioso first and a politician second. When they do get in trouble it's usually because they messed up enough in the political sphere that the other crooks decide to use the apparatus of law to fuck them over. Because if it were about their crimes they'd ALL be behind bars.
