Balsonaro blues in Brazil

The US's favorite puppet in Brazil, recently elected president Jail Balsonaro, hardly had time to put family photos on his new desk when he and his sons got hit with major corruption accusations.

Washington has hoped that the fascist Balsonaro government will help in the current effort to topple the Maduro government in Venezuela.  But now it appears that Balsonaro will be just a bit preoccupied with his own battle to remain in power.

The arrogance of the Balsonaro family could lead to their downfall much sooner than anyone had ever imagined.  Direct connections to murder, assassination and organized crime is not a great start.

Thanks to Glenn Greenwald for this update from Brazil.
