@@bcc5701 It is something similar to a district court, in the sense of having jurisdiction over one or more states, but it's in charge of lawsuits related to the federal goverment, just like corruption charges and mismanagement. Also, it has the responsability to judge those accused of political crimes, financial crimes in the private sector and disputes between states and indigenous nations.

@p o p TV episodes often begin as notecards on a board. "The View from Halfway Down" began as one. For years, BoJack Horseman writer Alison Tafel says, showrunner Raphael Bob-Waksberg had had an idea that BoJack (Will Arnett) would somehow end up at a dinner party with all of the show's characters who had died, and a notecard representing the idea - reading simply "dinner party" - "floated around" the entire time the writers' room was planning season 6. "We knew that we wanted it to maybe happen this season, and then when we realized it was the last season, it was like, 'Well, it has to,'" Tafel tells EW. "Eventually, it landed on being the penultimate episode, which I think was really fitting." Each season, BoJack Horseman fans would await the penultimate episode with bated breath. Though widely considered some of the series' best entries, those episodes reliably delivered the show's darkest moments and most bruising gut-punches: BoJack trying to sleep with an old friend's teenage daughter, his former costar Sarah Lynn's death, a journey through his elderly mother's dementia-stricken memory. As literally and figuratively the penultimate BoJack episode to end all penultimate BoJack episodes, "The View from Halfway Down" would be no exception.

[@Alchemeri]

I'm brazilian and let me say, although very condensed (it's hard to put over 70+ years of historical context into half an hour) this video is probably one of the overall best not only in the international community but overall about the coup attempt, i just wanna contextualize and say some things about the video: -Whatsapp is EXTREMELY popular here, almost everyone uses it, and those that don't tend to be the elderly and the technologically uninclined, in fact, its so common that people often say "can i have your Whatsapp?" instead of saying "can i have your number?", to put in perspective the weight of the political rallies organized through whatsapp. -Investigation into a possible fraud in the electronic urns came to the conclusion that, in a highly unlikely scenario the urns could possibly be vulnerable to an outside attack, but that it didn't happen, this of course helped drive the more intense supporters of bolsonaro to protest the results. -Lula was released from jail, but not innocented from his charges, that happened because Moro's trial was deemed to be unfair towards Lula, it is still very likely that he and those associated with him did something wrong, either passively or actively. -Bolsonaro is very similar to Trump in his discourse, even with more liberal policies in the recent years, Brazil is still a mostly christian and conservative society, and with Bolsonaro embodying these values, and his rough and tough position towards crime, he quickly garnered support amongst the more conservative public and the center, not only that, but after several years of corruption and inneficiency spearheaded by left leaning parties a lot of people had a sour taste towards those more liberally inclined. -The more intense support towards right wing parties is somewhat recent, in fact, Lula and those allied with him had the public support by a fairly large margin for the better part of a decade, this trend definitely started after Dilma's impeachment, almost as a comeback after the military coup in '64, but this dives into cold war history territory. -Police was heavily criticized in how they acted during the 8th of January, since police is well known for being, unquestionably, very brutal and violent during their operations (this is an undeniable fact, despite what others might say), and that they acted fairly passively in contrast to their normal behavior, this is rooted deep in the violent nature of Brazil but that`s another story. -The only part that somewhat bothered me in this video is that it says KZbinrs and other digital influencers played more of an important role in the elections, internet discourse and everything that comes with it definitely shaped it by a significant portion, but the KZbin microcosm is definitely not as important towards how people acted about politics, it`s more of a byproduct of everything than an active agent of it, like with Facebook and the North American elections. -And to cap it all off, Brazil has a very different political and cultural mindset varying by each region, think of the difference between the North and the South in the US, but it's five regions and they're all xenophobic towards each other, in fact, a lot of the political fighting tends to be the more conservative regions (Typically the southern ones) against the more leftist ones (usually the northern, altought some of that has changed in the latest years), this all was probably one of the major factors, if not THE biggest factor, that helped pushed political unrest against the left, since Bolsonaro and Co. played on that difference a LOT to push their own objectives. So in conclusion, this video, is, as per usual with this channel, very entertaining, funny and well researched, which is the exception when it comes to people talking about Brazil, specially outside of itself, a lot of the seemingly more outrageous and shocking stuff coming from Brazil is very common place here, it's a VERY violent and chaotic place, rivaled only by active warzones and even worse Latin American countries, this shapes how people go by when it comes to politics, politicians usually use this to direct and manipulate people's outrage, the 8th of january and everything related to it isn't something orchestrated by an expert cabal of machiavellian agents that weaved a carefully made conspiracy and failed to coup the government like a lot of people, but a "repurposed" and chaotic outburst of fervor that was used by our "dear leaders" to try and further their position. (thanks for reading all of this if anyone actually has, im definitely wrong about several things, so please correct me if i messed up in anything)

[@danielrocha5694]

Hey mate, just wanted to point out a small error in he video. You mentioned a few times that Sérgio Moro was a Supreme Court (STF) judge, but that’s not actually the case. He was indeed a judge but under the Regional Federal Tribunal of the 4th Region (TRF-4), which naturally holds less power than the STF. TRF-4 was the tribunal that actually condemned Lula to a dozen years in prison. About a year and a half later, it was STF that declared that jailing those condemned in second instance trials (which was Lula’s case) as unconstitutional, which inevitably led to Lula’s release.

[@detectordegados5292]

But it's good to mention the TRF-4 decision was not alone, it was reiterated by the Supreme Court in 2018. So the Supreme Court actually agreed with Lula's sentence but changed their mind afterwards

[@dinamosflams]

there is another error here they did discussed about setting free the ones imprisoned in second stance, but this decision was overruled in 2019. the reason why Lula was released in 2022 was because of 3 reasons: 1-he was judged in the wrong instance 2-moro was having too much involviment with the arguments of the attorneys, meaning he was influencing the trial, which is unconstitutional 3-the only crime he was improsoned was for passive corruption (meaning he gained bennefits from someone else's corruption) but since the appartment he alledged going to buy was not in his family and that he inly visited his friend's ranch in attibaia, never having possession over it made the accusations void as a proof for any crime. thus the entire process was comcluded as legally worthless and Lula was set free.

@@galactic-hamster7043 Most moderate brazilians dislike Lula but couldn't stand Bolsonaro as well (that's why the very low win margin). There's little trust in the government, even the military that usually has good faith with the right wing is now tainted in their eyes due to not staging the coup. Opinions around Lula have as much polarization as bolsonaro's regime. Most know he'll resume his corruption schemes but at the same time he's 10 times better at playing the system in his favor as bolsonaro's could ever be.

A very important update for this moment 5:22 Turns out... Bolsonaro's kid might actually be gay. In a recent investigation about that family's illegal activities, they asked anyone who was involved with them. Some guy who worked for Bolsokid (the nickname we gave him) claimed he was actually his boyfriend, or ex boyfriend. He provided text messages between the two to prove it, and the court actually verified their authenticity. Bolsokid obviously denied it, saying the guy could've faked it some other way, but nobody believes him because it would imply Bolsokid leaves his phone with sensitive information about his family unlocked and the guy used it to fake those texts.

What's most interesting, if not a bit worrysome, is that Bolsonaro has been signaling for a military coup ever since his first year in the presidency, and its frankly a miracle of his own incompetence that he wasn't able to do it then, when he had the most of his support and Covid wasn't a thing yet. Furthermore, it's good to add that the situation of his government's own state of corruption is being more exposed daily, with some sort of new event happening almost every day.

The pure joy of when Ordinary Things posts a new video!

Replace the name Bolsonaro with Trump and it's eerily similar to what Trump did and his rise to power in America.

Ngl I wasn't expecting a video about Brazil, really hyped Greetings from Brazil

[@cl0ud88]

Just like always, awesome video. This went absolutely under my radar, probably because I live under a rock and radar waves are not so good with solid matter. Anyway, thanks for the very informative video which I hope teaches a lesson.

[@yeasttown7580]

after that 2022 video this is the exact type of content I was looking forward to, thank you Mr. things

[@vulpesignis2201]

Can I just thank you for this video? Brazil is currently so polarized it is impossible to find a unbiased video explaining its history and you did that flawleslly

[@JONYACIOLY]

I really thought I would have to wait until the 2023 retrospective to see you talking about what happened in Brasília. It is the only thing being discussed here and I was hopping to get your take on it, guess santa came out early this year 😂

Little side note: CQC is an Argentine Show that sold its rights to a Brazilian Network ,among other countries, and actually the name could be translated as "Whoever May Fall"

[@FreshHesh]

Lol it was also a Spanish show "Caiga Quien Caiga" in the early 2000s

[@maurobrunosolavergara5041]

@@FreshHesh Yes, but it was originated in Argentina in 1995, and sold to Spain, Brazil and other countries during the end of the 90's and at the start of the 2000s

[@everythingiseconomics9742]

I'm pretty sure the Brazilian version is "CQC Custe o Que Custar"

[@Ad3mirjr]

Dude... how did you go through all this material and cooked up this video in just 22 days? Congratulations. You did a fine work. I'm impressed.

[@mateusbmedeiros]

Man, you've done your research! Godamn! I'm used to seeing foreigners explain brazilian things with a decent but still very imperfect accuracy, but you went knee deep and summarized lots of complex subjects that even lots of less informed brazilians don't understand well and you did it with extreme accuracy!
