They'd rather have an ex-con (Lula had been imprisoned for corruption) than a fascist at the helm. Can't say that I blame them. Who's gonna squeal "stolen election" first - Bolsonaro or Trump?

My former Hokie classmate trots out the stolen election bullshit already. I should have kicked his ass 50 years ago.

Fascism lost one. Today's a good day.

President Biden @POTUS
United States government official

I send my congratulations to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on his election to be the next president of Brazil following free, fair, and credible elections. I look forward to working together to continue the cooperation between our two countries in the months and years ahead.

Bolsonaro hasn’t conceded to Lula. Is he following the Trump playbook?

Does a bear poop in the woods?

Anyone and everyone associated with the Orange POS is a POS.

Although the article makes it clear that the preponderance of Bolsanaro's party accept the election results, unlike the gutless, unprincipled GOP.

A document found at the home of Bolsonaro’s former Justice Minister outlined their plan to overturn the election. Anderson Torres, who fled to Florida, says it is being “taken out of context.”

What an incompetent authoritarian! He should have called the thing 'despicable lies manufactured by Brazil-hating Marxists!'

The claim that it's 'taken out of context' admits that it's his document.
