Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Trump is not capable of making sound decisions on behalf of the United States. The media should cover his unfitness for office nonstop, while Congress must move swiftly to relieve him of his responsibilities.
