This is huge for Brazil. If these guys really tried to pull off a coup, they’ve gotta face the music.

It’s not just about punishing them, it’s about proving democracy still stands. Let’s just hope the process is fair, or this could stir up even more chaos.

If they copy America, you will see him as president again soon.

With the way the world’s going, I somehow don’t expect it to actually happen. Seems like no one is accountable to a legal system these days except for common people.
