Lula's future is NOT at stake. In fact, Lula is practically re-elected already.

Another thing that is at stake is the credibility of Mercopress. I myself stopped trusting what you write some time ago.

Sensationalist headlines, biased information, discrepant comparisons, misinformation.

Congress is composed of 3/5 opposition parliamentarians. Lula has excellent approval ratings and great success in his economic policy. The opposition leaders want either to weaken the Lula government or to undermine Lula's support for their own re-election. They are not achieving either one.

This is an election year in Brazil. And Lula, for the first time, will have an active role in supporting the election of parliamentarians further to the left of the political spectrum. This is unsettling. As is the total support that the Nazi government of the North will give to parliamentarians willing to betray Brazil and hand it over on a silver platter to the American Nazis who want to transform our America into a colony. They won't succeed!

I believe the number of parliamentarians from the left will at least double in these elections.

Just remember, Brasso, it is YOU who is the “National Socialist!” By the way, how's your Russian “Handler” doing?

Is the woman mine or yours? Don't dream so big, your fat, smelly wife will still be yours. Mine is beautiful and fantastically gorgeous.

Die in your sexual poverty!

Seems you struck a nerve there, he is quite upset, obviously a sore subject for him/them.

Perhaps he is being ‘mishandled’, for poor performance?

How is Lula’s new bunker coming along, he is sure to need it, with Venezuela gone, Colombia caving, it is only a question of time before ‘a laranja’ decides to liberate the poor Amazonian Indians you have been persecuting for centuries and help himself to your oil.

I suspect that he will in the “long” run be manipulated into marriage, and bring her home, thus making her a * Tada! * Brazilian citizen... ;)

Poor boy, a puppet of Putin.

However, what sort of puppet, one with strings like on Thunderbirds or Captain scarlet:

Or the more traditional kind with sticks up the Khyber, must be the latter, which would account for his current disposition, in discourse.
