Brazil's rapidly shrinking PSDB Party is upset that Lula correctly refers to Dilma Rousseff's kangaroo court impeachment as a coup. Impeachment architect MIguel Reale Jr., son of the founder of Brazil's answer to the Nazi Party, the Integralistas, feels it's not good for Brazil.

"This guy showed up at the union wanting to help out," he said, laughing, "and before I asked about his profession, I looked at that palm of his hands. There was no mistake about it: smooth palms with no callouses, it had to be a trotskyist." - Lula, 1978

Lula was joking about entrists and I posted this because I think it's funny. But there were Trotskyist groups like Libelu which helped found PT and many are still in the party, like legendary journalist Paulo Moreira Leite. Read his story here:

US media which never complained about Lava Jato judicial overeach until after Lula's arbitrary arrest, have decided the head of Brazil's Electoral Court system is "authoritarian" for upholding the rule of law. It's all about undermining Lula's government.
