Looney Lula

I ask myself who is this socialist Lula da Silva from Brazil? How did he come to win the recent election of his country despite his being recently jailed for corruption? I look online to find out why people form an L on their foreheads when mentioning his name. I find nothing about that. However, I DO find that he created the Worker’s Party, which seems to have a lot of popularity with only half his country. As in America, Brazil is very divided in their political feelings. He used to work for the unions. In his later years, he ran for president and served two terms. He was actually well-liked during that time for having a good economy during his presidency although he was disliked for doing nothing about crime. Times Magazine actually put him at the top of their list for 100 most influential people of the world after his presidency. Somehow he keeps escaping corruption charges. He has people chanting “Free Luna” outside his jail. He wins Brazil’s recent election by 1% of the vote. Then protesters of the opposing party storm Brazil’s Congress, mirroring what took place in our own Congress after Biden supposedly won the election in the U.S. Hmmm, why is Lula labeled a loser? This happy-faced old man lives in obvious luxury, gets off for his crimes and also probably steals elections. I wonder if the L his opposition form on their foreheads is similar to what the opposition to Biden are doing when they shout “Let’s Go Brandon.” Like Biden, Luna seems to be quite the content criminal, and the world just keeps turning . . . Is Lula fighting fair? First he’s here, and then he’s there. From the jail he gets let out. Seems he has a lot of clout! What was up with jail disruption after all of his corruption? Looney Lula acts like he wants to help humanity with so-called “democracy.” But instead he’s laundering, (no, not clothes – another thing!) Looney Lula, have you goons in this world of Looney TUNES?

Good caricature. I never appreciate politicians. In Malta they are all corrupt.
