Barbaric Election Aftermath in Brazil

When I wrote about the questionable election outcome in Brazil two days ago, I threw this out:

Now Lula can begin the work of carrying out his threats to jail the opposition and coming after other conservatives. Believe him, he will. He's Elissa Slotkin cubed.

And sure enough, that's what he and his judicial allies have done. It took the winning commissars all of seven hours to get the purge going.

Bolsonaro's passport was demanded of him when he went to see his dad, Jair Bolsonaro, who's barely alive, in one of Lula's prisons, even though he's never been charged and his dad is in prison on political grounds. They were just out to get him, too, lying in wait, ready to do to him what they did to his dad, and he saw the writing on the wall.

According to the New York Times:

Flávio Bolsonaro, the presidential candidate defeated in Sunday’s election in Brazil, left for the United States on Tuesday, according to three U.S. officials, a day after the Brazilian police asked him to hand over his passports because he was being investigated in a money-laundering case. The State Department plans to issue visas to Mr. Bolsonaro and his family to allow them entry into the United States, a senior State Department official said. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomatic matters.
