A lot!!! Brazil is doing what a developed country with a fair and ethical Supreme Court would do. Meanwhile the US like a third world country soon to be the most corrupt in the world. Bravo Brazil!!! πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ

Sadly, I don't believe this can ever happen here.

Retail coffee prices rose 20.9% in the United States in August, which was higher than anytime during the post-COVID bout of inflation. Unlike then, this really is the fault of one man. Instead of over-intellectualizing some podcaster getting shot, Democrats might be showing the graph of Trump's coffee price inflation and mentioning it everywhere they go.

"House Arrest" my ass. In a mansion with a dozen dedicated servants and free for any visitors to come and go? That's not 'arrest'. I'd almost think that a nearly ideal retirement.

If he wants to hear the symphony play again, he just charters them to come on over.

And to be really silly, make your 'home' a boat. Then cheerily bob around the world "under house arrest".

Oh, I'd be fine with house arrest: In a moldy studio apartment in somewhere like Compton* where the hallways are full of trash, the AC unit doesn't work, the tap water's undrinkable, and the landlord incessantly bitches about the rent while doing nothing to keep up the property or do anything about the drug den / dance party that goes on next door nightly. Oh, and the only visitor(s) allowed is the one guy who brings you a sack of gruel to eat twice a week and isn't allowed to talk to you.

Otherwise? Yep, prison.

* This being Brazil, a barrio somewhere. Preferably without running water or a sewage line connection. Electricity for a couple hours week, if you're lucky. And it's not just the landlord who wants the rent - it's the gang bosses who need their little slice too.

Favelas. Those are the hillside shantytowns in Rio.

As we are officially a Nation in Mourning for Martyred Hero Trump--er, Kirk, whose very name means "church," a sign that you vicious lefties better stop reposting the numerous non-Gospel-adjacent words he trafficked in life...or ELSE--Brazil will have to wait.

Brazil, this does *not* mean you are off the hook of destiny. Hero Trump intuits (his strong suit!) the hand of Radical Left Antifa Wokeism in your errancy, but also mayhap a whiff of Epstein, who seems to exercise a peripatetic afterlife Every Damn Where, especially for a Dead Issue, and especially ESPECIALLY for a complete HOAX.

Grief demands that we turn Our Attention to Prayer, with Tariffs to come. The Angel Marco shows signs of wobbling. You will take your orders only from ME, Your Favorite President.

Latin American politics are a trip.

In Venezuela, one of the last presidents elected before Chavez was a guy called CAP (Carlos Andres Perez). He was impeached for fraud & embezzlement & jailed. Twice. Of course, he was also reelected to the presidency between the 2 jail terms. I believe Chavez (who had himself been jailed for attempting a coup against CAP) pardoned him & set him free. He came to New York. I met his mistress (#4) in 2000 while moonlighting as a census worker. My ex's cousin, who's a rich stockbroker, got invited to the baby daughter's christening (CAP & #4's daughter). For a goof, he invited us along. CAP tried to hit us up for a political donation. As if.

Like I said, Latin America politics are a trip.
