Isn't Bannon supposed to be in prison serving time for contempt of Congress?? Why isn't he there already? There must be some law that would allow the US to expel Bolsanaro as an undesirable alien. And what's up with Florida becoming a haven for insurrectionists and a net exporter of terrorism?

Bannon's appealing everything - that's why he's free.

That needs to change. Whenever a court convicts someone the presumption of innocence disappears and they should begin their sentence immediately and when their appeal process is over only THEN released if their appeal was successful.

In many cases serving the original sentence would be shorter than waiting for an appeal to conclude. Further it would prevent criminals like Bannon, continuing to commit crimes while they are free "on appeal".

Balsanaro just went into the hospital. Florida is a haven for terrorists, the governor is one. He paid to have people captured and flown across the country.

I suspect that Bozo's sudden admission to the hospital has more to do with his mental health than with his physical health, i.e. dodging the Brazilian Press, which is hot on the story of the insurrection and is well-represented in Florida.
