I went to a funeral this week [View all]

In the tribute, the son of the deceased was talking about how much the deceased promoted the importance of character. Then he added that it was strange that not one leader in any sphere in our hemisphere (other than the President of Brazil) had called out Donvict over his threats to the Brazilian government, its judiciary, democracy and the rule of law.
Where is our character he asked.
Folks clapped.
