"Never fish in the Rubicon", Auron McIntyre [0], sums it up pretty well. Bolsonaro did not have the guts or the military support to go after his enemy, which of course has not such qualms. The US has its own analogy: FBI interference with the Hunter Biden investigation, as documented by the IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, while heavily prosecuting Trump. You don't need to be a MAGA flag waving GOPer to see there is some imbalance there. To recap the non-exhaustive list of what went down with the DOJ: - Tipped off Hunter Biden's legal team about a search warrant on his storage unit - Prevented investigators from executing a search warrant on his house - Ordered a "cease and desist" on investigating Hunter during the 2020 election - Prevented investigators from asking questions about the "big guy" - Verified his laptop was real in 2019 and then went to Big Tech and told them to censor it during the election - And didn't even have the key witness in the case testify before the grand jury. This is simply how it works, not just in Brazil. The deep state isn't neutral, how could it be?

What do you think about Kushner's personal enrichments during the Trump administration? His dealings with the Saudis? I hear about Hunter Biden 100 times more than Kushner. I'm all for equal applications justice. I see lots of pure-evil privilege, modern indulgences for the gentry. I think all finances of a President, justice, and Congressperson and their family should be public and in a blind trust. And severe criminal liability for any attempts to enrich themselves. If you don't like it, don't run.

  I think the solution is to do it like Singspore, and pay head of states similarly well as big company CEOs, combined with strict lobbying, transparency and trading regulations. Everything else creates perverse incentives and attracts parasites.
