It gives me a little hope. Maybe the whole world hasn't quite gone completely mad just yet.

It’s mostly that the insanity gets the Press, appears more than the sum of its parts.

Before the election, she referred to Bolsonaro as “Brazil’s tRump” and “South American tRump”. So, the comparison is apt.

with surety about Lula, but Joe Biden is absolutely the right person for the times here in the USA in my opinion. It's not only the wisdom he brings from decades of living, breathing and maneuvering at the highest political levels, but the sheer moxie and his ability to "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee". I can't think of many who pack the punch that Joe brings to this job. It's exactly the punch we need.

I'll admit that though I always liked and admired Joe, I didn't favor him in the primaries. But there's no question in my mind about him now -- we are damned lucky to have him.

Finish the job Joe!
