A Brazilian Supreme Court justice has issued an arrest warrant for ... a naturalized U.S. citizen residing in Florida, over social media posts critical of Brazil's president and judiciary.

Enough said. That about sums up the current state of this country.

Just yesterday we watched astonished as politicians voted into effect a law that makes themselves immune to investigation, prosecution and judgement unless they consent to it as a class. Yes, now politicians must vote on the matter before an investigation into themselves is allowed to proceed. I find it difficult to explain the sheer absurdity of this.

Still I gotta admit that is the only thing you can possibly do when the supreme court usurps all power and starts monocratically running the nation as well as engaging in political censorship and persecution. At least these politicians have four year mandates, not lifetime mandates like these judges.
