Brazil's Bolsonaro hospitalized in the U.S. with abdominal pain - report

Source: BBC


SAO PAULO, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was admitted to a hospital in Orlando, Florida, with "abdominal pain," newspaper O Globo reported on Monday, a day after some of his hardcore supporters stormed the capital city of Brasilia.

Bolsonaro has been hospitalized multiple times in recent years with gut blockages after being stabbed while campaigning for the presidency in 2018. He traveled to the United States two days before Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva took the office of president.

Why is the "Press" so careful to not say he was staying at MagatLardo? I find that disturbing. He followed Drumpf, Bannon and Millers' coup blueprint.

he's likely to suffer from intermittent bouts of extreme pain for the rest of his life. Getting gut shot or stabbed has the potential to result in a really nasty injury. In the old days those sorts of injuries frequently resulted in painful, messy, nasty deaths.

"Abdominal complaints" was the code for cut belly back in the bad old days.

A dirtbag like Bolsanaro isn't honorable enough to commit seppuku anyway.

Brazil has already arrested over 1,000 insurrectionists including some lawmakers. In the U.S. the insurrectionists are running the House of Representatives.

Brazil has also vowed to go after those who Organized and Funded their attack. Let's see how many years it takes THEM to find Justice!
