The former president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, has been sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison after being found guilty of plotting a military coup.
A panel of five Supreme Court justices handed down the sentence just hours after they had convicted the former leader.
They ruled he was guilty of leading a conspiracy aimed at keeping him in power after he lost the 2022 election to his left-wing rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Meanwhile Merrick Garland somewhere is sitting happy as a pig in shit.
I remember all the people on reddit in 2020 who were loudly insisting that Garland was just biding his time and making sure that the case against Trump was ironclad before moving against him. I’d say lol but it’s obviously not funny.
