Mr. Tea

Let's Talk About Ceps
I wouldn't call Jan 6 a tea party. They were trying to disrupt the certification of the president, smashing down doors, chanting "hang mike pence", beating up security officials, and an insurrectionist was shot and killed.
Yeah but apart from that, it was pretty chilled.

one difference from Jan 6: already 1,200 people arrested.

The government building in Brasilia is such a great Oscar Niemeyer design, also such a shame to see the busted up 50s-modern furniture and interiors.

I'm glad you confirmed that for me... was watching yesterday and I said "I bet that's an Oscar Niemeyer" and Liza said "mmm" and I thought I'm gonna check it, and then I thought, fuck it I can't be arsed.

Historian Carlos Fico, one of the leading experts on the dictatorship that seized power after Brazil’s 1964 military coup, said it was particularly noteworthy that those charged included three high-ranking military figures: Gen Braga Netto, Gen Heleno and Adm Garnier Santos.​
“The most significant aspect is not Bolsonaro’s indictment – he is, after all, an avowed admirer of the military dictatorship and of torture – but rather the indictment of the generals,” said Fico, a history professor at Rio’s federal university. “The indictment of generals through a judicial process led by the federal police, with the endorsement of the country’s attorney general and [that is] set to be judged by the supreme court, is unprecedented in Brazilian history.”​
