Watch crook go scot-free! Watch him having the last laugh!

No one really cares but slowly, gradually, surreptitiously + subtly; corruption is getting legalized. Proof of the pudding:

Of course. All of the politicians are innocent and all the accusations are just for political reasons...

”Brazil: Bolsonaro administration is transforming anti-human-rights rhetoric into action
21 May 2019
In October 2018, just after the electoral process was completed, we warned that Bolsonaro’s positions posed a real risk to human rights in the country. We have followed his government closely and, unfortunately, we are beginning to see that our concerns were justified: the Bolsonaro administration has adopted measures that threaten the rights to life, health, freedom, land and territory of Brazilians who, whether they live in urban or rural areas, simply want to live their lives with dignity and free from fear. These are measures that could affect millions of people and, the way we see it, a fair country does not exclude its citizens. A fair Brazil is a Brazil for everyone”.
In 2017, Amnesty International showed that Brazil was one of the most dangerous countries in the Americas for human rights defenders,

Is it the ADMINISTRATION [a lack of it] or it's the “FAMILY”?

“Brazil loses credibility under Jair Bolsonaro
Even Bolsonaro's conservative supporters in the USA did not come to his rescue. In the end, he was forced to pick up the prize from what is virtually a provincial outpost. And not a single high-ranking US business partner or politician could be persuaded to attend the event in Texas.
Brazil is rapidly losing its relevance in world politics. This decline did not begin with Bolsonaro's inauguration in January but his presidency has certainly accelerated it.

”Bolsonaro’s dysfunctional presidency may be nearing endgame
Brazil leader has only himself to blame ...
After five rocky months, Brazil’s far-right president Jair Bolsonaro has finally left behind the chaos that marked the start to his term in office only to head straight into a crisis that has a whiff of being terminal.
Last week his own son Carlos was on Twitter warning of plots to “topple the captain”, while the former paratrooper himself cryptically spoke of a coming “tsunami” before on Friday sharing a text with supporters on WhatsApp that described Brazil as “dysfunctional” and “ungovernable”.
In passing on the analysis, he noted that even before he was stabbed on the campaign trail last year, he believed: “The system is going to kill me.”
The Bolsonaros’ paranoia can only have been increased by the open chatter among the political class in Brasília about possible impeachment. That might seem crazy talk so early into his term and just seven months after he won a thumping election victory. But the president has only himself to blame for turning what a few weeks ago were still private mutterings into a public debate.
The Irish Times, May 21.”

Why is there no option in the poll for waiting to see if Flavio is guilty or not? That's fucked up.
