In CNT/MDA polls... I don't remember George W. Bush being impeached after his big defeat, in 2006. He had bad polls, too.

Hey che, how about that leaked phone call between Dilma and Lulu? I like it.
I'm not a rightie, who needs to fake phony indignation for justifying his pulsions.

Lula says 'Big Brother' bribery inquiry is turning Brazil politics into reality TV- Quote:
-
Former president promises weekly reports on what he says is misinformation ‘production chain’ between police, prosecutors and media
 Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva compared the situation in Brazil to past moves to unseat the leaders of Paraguay, Honduras and Venezuela. Photograph: Sebastiao Moreira/EPA- Quote:
-
The constant attacks, he argued, were an assault on democracy and had made governing Latin America’s biggest nation so difficult that the economy was sliding towards “paralysis”.
“‘Coup’ is the correct term to define what is going on this country,” he said, comparing the current events in Brazil to past moves to unseat the leaders of Paraguay, Honduras and Venezuela. “For a leader to govern, they cannot be preoccupied with day-to-day survival. It’s bloodshed every single day. [And this is supported by] a part of the Brazilian media [that] helps to worsen the environment of hatred on the streets of this country.”
- Quote:
-
Pressed on why he accepted the chief of staff position so soon after being detained by police, Da Silva said he wanted to push the government away from budget cuts and austerity and towards greater infrastructure spending and measures to improve consumer and business confidence.
He said Rousseff had been trying to persuade him to join her cabinet since last year, but noted wryly that a court invalidated his appointment almost as soon as it was announced. “It was the shortest term of a chief of staff ever,” he joked bitterly.
Questioned about the leak, the former president suggested judge Moro – who has become extremely popular for exposing the rampant corruption among the political and business elite – had become carried away with his celebrity status. He also insinuated a “production chain” between elements of the police, prosecutors and the media.
- Quote:
-
Taking the reality show reference a step further, he dared prosecutors to broadcast his next interrogation live because that would be better, he said, than having only selective parts leaked. From now on, he promised to produce weekly reports of misinformation in the media.
- Quote:
-
Asked about the decline of leftwing governments in Latin America, he spoke with nostalgia of the time when he, Venezuela’s Hugo Chávez and Argentina’s Nestor Kirchner were like “Messi, Neymar and Suarez” of FC Barcelona.
Part of the reason for their current malaise, he suggested, was that the United States had been unhappy when Latin American nations created regional organisations without the superpower.
The politicians voting to impeach Brazil's president are accused of more corruption than she is

The PMDB, the largest party in Brazil's ruling coalition, has voted for an "immediate exit" from President Dilma Rousseff's government. The move could hasten impeachment proceedings against President Rousseff, correspondents say. Opposition lawmakers want to remove Ms Rousseff over claims she manipulated accounts to hide a growing deficit. Following Tuesday's vote, the embattled president cancelled a trip to attend a summit in Washington this week. 'Acclaim' At its leadership meeting on Tuesday, the PMDB [Brazilian Democratic Movement Party] decided that its six remaining ministers in President Rousseff's cabinet must resign or face ethics proceedings. Brazil tumbles like 'House of Cards' Rousseff faces perfect storm
Sing it Freddie....!

Dilma isn't going anywhere. You can't impeach a sitting president over low poll ratings, you need actual criminal charges, and so far, no one has a thing on her in this regard. Meanwhile, the politicians leading the charge for her impeachment are themselves being charged with criminal activity, from bribery to money laundering. One of them , Cunha, is actually wanted by Interpol and can't leave the country and can't be extradicted The irony of all this is that Dilma wanted to expose the criminal activity in Brasil. The results are that practically all elected politicians from every party were corrupt and on the take, except her

Mozart wants us to believe that social programs for the poor are the reasons a lot of countries are going through economic difficulties, which is typical shock doctrine hogwash. He represents the upper elite factions who want to grab all the money for themselves while throwing the rest of their populations back into destitution and poverty. Every country is right now going through a down cycle, mostly because of fallen oil prices, especially places like Venezuela

That's what this is all about. When socialists seized power all over South America through DEMOCRATIC means, starting with Chavez in 1998, most of the world stood back and accepted their new presence on the world stage. "Good for them!" was the response from most political observers. Not only did they achieve political power, but they had the good fortune to be in power during a tremendous commodity boom. Unprecedented. From soy beans to copper to crude oil, all of South America was rolling in dough.
Would these new socialists change the political landscape? Lula, Chavez, Morales Correa, Kirchner's, that guy from Uruguay whose name is hard to spell (Mujica ..?) ...provide more jobs, lift more people out of poverty? Did they succeed with all the rhetoric? Had they found the magical elixer which would create a new, more fair, more equitable economic system?
The answer is no.
They created a deeper mess, a more profound economic catastrophe, that would hurl even more people, most of them supporters and believers, into permanent poverty. An unmitigated economic disaster has fallen over South America. Why? Corruption. Tens of billions of dollars disappeared from Caracas to Brasilia. Incredible amounts of money came into the hands of the new socialists, ...and then disappeared into Swiss bank accounts. A pattern of theft NEVER before witnessed in human history. In Venezuela alone it is estimated that over 400 Billion Dollars went missing. A theft with little precedent to anything seen in human history. Massive. Spectacular. Petrobras and PDVSA right in the center of it all.
Where'd all the money go? Where...?

Mozart As noted, most of the corruption in Brasil comes from the right, as well as all other parties, yet that creates a disfunctional government, but you'd need corruption on a much more massive scale to actually create an economic catastrophy. Nor is giving a basket of rice beans and oil every month to the poor going to wreck an economy. Brasil has a pretty robust commodity export sector, but they relied on oil export revenues to back their spending. Had oil not cratered to $30 a barrel this year, they would have been swimming in cash.
Brasil is in an economic slump, not a crash. Social programs become more expensive when that happens, but is not the cause. Shock doctrine tactics are designed to wipe out these programs only so the cash stays with the rich and they get back into power

"As noted, most of the corruption in Brasil comes from the right, ..."
Er, as noted? As noted by whom? But, ...but, Lula and Dilma were in charge. For how many years? Where'd the money go? Corruption from the so-called socialists took on even greater dimensions in Venezuela. Four hundred billion dollars went missing during the Chavez years. 400 Billion.
"but you'd need corruption on a much more massive scale to actually create an economic catastrophy..."
An "economic catastrophe" is taking place right now, at this very minute, in Venezuela. And, ah, who was in charge? How many years, ..18 years? Corruption is now the focus of prosecutors in Brasil. Dilma and Lula. Petrobras. Where'd the money go? I thought these guys were, you know, socialists? Spread the wealth, free stuff for the needy, ....that sort of thing. In Brasil tens of billions of dollars went missing. Poof! Gone!
The rest is just drivel.....

Er, ah, ...one FINAL Lara Gut story!
Lara came to visit me in Miami, (this should bring Jake to a jealous rage!) and attended the Miami Open tennis tournament.

TIMEA'S GUT LUCK CHARM WTA Insider Courtney Nguyen | Cheering on Timea Bacsinszky as she has carved through the draw at this year's Miami Open has been the world's best skier, Lara Gut. Published March 30, 2016 12:14

- Quote:

MIAMI, FL, USA - Everyone needs a little bit of luck sometimes. For No.20 Timea Bacsinszky, she's had one of the best athletes in the world cheering her on in Miami and it's paid dividends.
Bacsinszky backed up her big win over No.2 Agnieszka Radwanska with another stunner just 24 hours later, beating No.5 Simona Halep, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, to advance to the semifinals of the Miami Open on Tuesday. In the stands supporting her all week was Switzerland's Lara Gut, the No.1 Alpine skier in the world, who just two weeks ago won the Alpine Skiing World Cup. The 24-year-old became the first Swiss woman since 1995 to win.
"She wrote me the Friday before, so it wasn't official that she was going to be in Miami," Bacsinszky told WTA Insider. "But she finished her competition on Sunday for the Crystal Globes, and she wrote me on Friday like, 'Hey, it would be fun if I could come watch you in Miami,' so I knew she was coming to Miami anyway. It was actually a big thing in Switzerland; no one knew where she was, and I was reading Swiss news headlines that were asking, 'Where Has Lara Gone For Holidays?'"
"I finished my season last Sunday and it was important for me to have a break," Gut told WTA Insider after Bacsinszky's quarterfinal win. "I decided to come to Miami and I found out there was a tennis tournament. So I contacted Timea and she got me a badge. I started coming the first day and I got interested and she was playing so well that I came the second day and she was still winning. I was supposed to fly home yesterday but since she won I tried to stay here for one more day. She's playing awesome and it's really fun to watch."

The rest is just drivel..... Mozart Venezuela's economic problems stem from one place - their mono export oil. When the price of your only source of wealth collapses, as it did in the last year, so goes your whole economy. They didn't seem to have these economic problems the years prior when oil hovered around $100 a barrel Corruption is a by product of capitalism, so you can't have it both ways
Brasil's corruption is practically traditional, going way back before Lula. During his tenure Brasil went from a country with massive poverty to a middle class society.

She has virtually no support now in the Senate - none. It's only a matter of time. The VP will take over, the currency speculators will make their killing and the people of Brazil will continue to suffer. Why do you hate Brazilians, che?

I think we're up to 5 Brazilian judges now who've denied Lula the right to serve while he's under investigation. Game. Set. Match.
What's going in Venezuela, che? How's the bus driver making out?

The crisis in Brazil is not about corruption, but the overthrow of a democratically elected government.

Bwahahahahaha... a Telesur opinion piece.... bwahahahahahaha...
a small point of agreement here... there are ALL indeed corrupt and the worst possible outcome is that the investigation is buried after the impeachment. I don't think Moro and the Brazilian judicial system will let that happen but it remains a possibility and one that the Brazilian people should be mindful of.
