For the record, I have been unable to log in to DU for days.

The problem is obviously local. My wife and I took an excursion to another part of town today, and at least it worked long enough to post this. We’ll be here until Monday evening, when we head back up to our usual hemisphere. Not a lot to report, but some very special pictures.

We’re in a car on the way back to Copacabana, where I’ve been blocked, so if I conk out again, that’ll be why.

This might be a function of heavy traffic. It was slow this AM so I watched morning TV to get
my News and Good God in Butter is it bad for the most part both local and national news shows.
It is like Trump has taken over the media and he has all these little Pravda type media outlets.

Maybe the Brazilian servers are overloaded. I didn’t even think of that.

The right wing slant was unmistakable. Some Caribbean Island Nation’s President was praising
Trump’s extra judicial murder for keeping drugs from her Island.
