> So you're OK with ignoring the rule of law and the constitution

No idea what you're even referring to.

> And the Banco Master investigation ... doesn't count as going after drug traffickers/criminal organizations?

Not really, and they're in the process of burying it anyway. Police started getting too close to the supreme court judge-god-kings, can't have that.

> The phenomenon of PCC and CV being called terrorists only started when Trump gave those groups the terrorist designation

Yes, and it's a designation I agree with. That's why I started calling them terrorists as well. Which is exactly what they are.

> a patently political act, in order to bolster Flavio Bolsonaro's hypothetical/fake claims of being tough on crime and to try and weaken Lula during the campaign.

They're still terrorists either way. That's the literal US designation.

Before Trump decided to designate them terrorists, I used to call them secessionists and enemy combatants. I have no objections to the terrorism accusation. Works for me.

> The Bolsonaro family's ties with organized crime

Sigh. Didn't even mention Bolsonaro in my original reply, and I even criticized his equally totalitarian policies in my second reply.

Stop bringing this guy up. He's powerless and in political asylum in the USA. Remember: Lula is still the Brazilian president.
