  So nothing happened with Bannon being held in contempt huh? Hes still able to use his terrorist podcast to encourage more terrorism. Ffs 🤦🏻‍♀️
context: Along with other prominent Trump advisers who spread fraud rumours, Mr Bannon was unrepentant on Sunday, even as footage emerged of widespread destruction in Brazil.
  "Lula stole the Election… Brazilians know this," he wrote repeatedly on the social media site Gettr. He called the people who stormed the buildings "Freedom Fighters".

  The links between Mr Bolsonaro and the Trump movement were highlighted by a meeting in November between the former president and Mr Bolsonaro's son at Mr Trump's Florida resort.
  During that trip, Eduardo Bolsonaro also spoke to Mr Bannon and Trump adviser Jason Miller, according to reports in the Washington Post and other news outlets.
  
  Bannon and Stephen Miller have their fingerprints all over this coup in Brazil. >
  
  Yes they do.  It was a second rehearsal. >
  
  Hey, anyone see Garland? Garland? Garland? Garland? >
  
  Serious question - what, if anything, can the DOJ do about them having some responsibility for the coup in Brazil?  Or is it that it illustrates mea culpa regarding their roles in Jan 6? >
  
  I've been reading conservative comments about this both on Twitter and in the right wing shitrag the Daily Mail this morning, and yep they are 100% all in with the baseless conspiracies about this election too. They're doing exactly the same thing - repeating "the election was stolen" like a mantra, without providing (or requiring) a single scrap of evidence of any kind to back it up. This is how the right wing will continue to behave as they see the walls closing in on their unpopular agenda. Their only hope at this point is to cheat and use violence to achieve their goals, aka the basic fascist playbook. It will never occur to them that their nasty ideology is dead in the water and that if they ever want to win anything legitimately again they're going to have to rethink their entire mindset. That will never happen. >
  
  Cause they’re gonna try again until the government coup works, not all coups are successful but unfortunately at some point one is. >
  
  only need 1 coup to work. >
  
  We know this. But US laws are too weak against instigators. >
  
  US laws are weak against wealthy white people. >
  
  By design, and really just the wealthy in general. >
  
  I guess if you think about a hypothetical system where, it requires money and power to influence legislature - it would be foolish to expect that the laws would not reflect anyone who lacks wealth or powerful. Especially given the separation of the judicial system from the other branches of government. What would I know though. >
  
  Did Bolsonaro record his “Go home….I love you” message for his supporters from a KFC in Florida? >
  
  These people are idiots if they believe the election was stolen. I have lived in countries whare the elections were dubious and it is never the challengers rigging the election. It is always the incumbent trying to stay in power that has the opportunity to corrupt. >
  
  Wouldn't it be something if Bannon faced worse consequences outside the united States than within? >
  
  He'd last less than 2hrs in a foreign prison. There's no way the US will extradite him. They should, but they won't. >
  
  Way back in the day (prior to 2016) the US exported democracy throughout the world.  Then came Trump and his fellow fascists.  In the ensuing 7 years, they have knee capped our democracy, celebrated known dictators (Putin, XI, and Orban), and now are actively exporting Fascism from the US.  
  Trump's closest advisors (Bannon and Miller) used the Trump playbook to help Bolsonaro attack the democracy in his own country.  Bolsonaro used the tried and true trump tactics of attacking the press, sowing doubt on voting machines and voting officials, and in general screaming that they did not lose.  That it was stolen from them.
  I'm sad that we are no longer a beacon of hope for much of the world - perhaps even a majority of the world.  We can thank trump and his fascists for that. >
  
  Don was a 1 term loser who lost the popular vote by over 7 million votes.  Biden has handled the Ukraine situation to near perfection.  Ask real Ukrainians if America continues to provide hope.
  I already know the answer. 😊
