In normal (Euclidean) geometry, no. However, there are some cases where a triangle can be drawn which does have two right angles.

Imagine drawing a great triangle on the earth between three points. The first point is on the equator in Brazil, the second point is at the north pole, and the third point is on the equator in Africa. The two angles drawn from the equator to the north pole are both 90 degrees.

This is because the surface of a sphere is not flat, but curved, and it allows the angles of triangles to add up to almost 360 degrees. We call this non-euclidean geometry.
