Some further thoughts on the downfall of Dilma Rouseff... From the outset it should be made very clear that Dilma Roussef was NOT thrown-out of office because of personal corruption. She did not stuff her ample purse with wads of 100 dollar bills, at least there's been no evidence of this having taken place. However, she did preside over a very corrupt government (1), and prior to that, a very corrupt Petrobras (2). First, the money stolen through corruption at Petrobras was enormous, through-the-roof. Dilma could NOT have but known what was taking place. She was in charge. This woman, with very little petroleum experience, was the CEO of Petrobras. Really. Hard to believe. She looked the other way because a lot of that corruption at Petrobras went to the coffers of her political party. The party. A cult. A religion. We won, you lost, ...the rest of you can suck eggs. The same held true when she succeeded Lula to the Presidency of Brasil. Corruption. Mismanaged accounts. Incredible amounts of money lost and stolen. Just plain stupidity. I, however, would have voted to throw Dilma out on another charge, ...hypocrisy. Dilma rose through the political ranks because she was a committed revolutionary in her early days. She was captured, and tortured. A terrible thing. But, when she achieved political power, her sense of right and wrong went out the window. She was a committed Chavista, friends of Hugo Chavez. NOT once did she publicly complain, or make her concerns known to others, about the very real torture of Judge Afiuni (and others), held in Chavez's prison cell. A clear case of human rights violations. To Dilma, her party came first. Look the other way. You don't attack your religion, no matter what. The same with Leopold Lopez, currently sitting in a Chavista jail cell. Silence. No comments. No words of support from a fellow political prisoner. Hypocrisy. Throw her fat a$$ out on hypocrisy....

Yes, silly me believing they wouldn't be so stupid as to go ahead and do this, but they seemed to have exceeded my expectations So let's sum up what happened A congress of deputees, over 2/3 of them either under investigation for corruption, one even convicted in abstentia in Europe for embezzelment, voted to annul an election of a president, though inept, isn't up on any actual charges of corruption. Now she is going to be replaced by Temer, from the PSDB, a party with MORE members under investigation than Dilma's party PT, himself being one of them, but because he is, he is about to be indicted, so third in line in Cunha Cunha is also under investigation and very possible indictment for lying under oath when asked if he had a secret back account in Switzerland (he does) and when asked where the $5 million in his account came from, he answered he didn't know, someone just put it there. He's since been named in the Panama papers But Cunha may be granted AMNESTY from all his charges if his party gets their way as a reward for setting up the impeachment of Dilma! So the party that kept losing presidential election for years got to vote themselves into power, which will allow them get out of jail free cards, it is expected that the investigations will now go away. They get to keep their embezzeled cash, face no punishment and assend to power. Who says crime doesn't pay? Meanwhile the Brazillian public was treated to a televised circus of total buffoonery by their deputees, all who had to make a speech while casting their votes. Shoving matches, one guy, Bolsonaro, aka the Trump of Brasil, announced he cast his vote in the name of the general who led the coup in 1964, who personally tortured Dilma, one of those tortures included shoving live rats into her virgina. That was followed by the PT member, the only open gay member of congress, running up and spitting in Bolsonaro's face on live TV. Another scene was a wife of a deputy who was casting his vote for him, because he couldnt be there due to his being arrested for corruption. IOW Brazil just decided to replace it's democracy with a Kleptocracy. |

So, what is that socialists/communists do when they are no longer loved by their people? Screaming, "Coup d'etat! ...Coup d'etat!" doesn't seem to have helped. It comes from the Chavista play book. Any threat to a socialists RIGHT to govern is met with announcements of an impending CIA plot, and shouts of "Coup d'etat...!" Didn't work. Didn't help. Maduro in Venezuela is tring the same tactic. After all these were the elected legislators of Brasil who partook in that vote and are, after all, Brasilians. So, what to do? If you're Dilma Ding-a-ling your answer to suddenly losing all of your personal political power is to go to that bastion of slobbering dolts, an edifice along the East River filled with half-baked screwballs of every sort, ... the United Nations. A similar lunatic asylum from which Dilma orginiated. "They will save me! They will come to my rescue!"
Yup, ole chubby Dilma is "top-of-the-heap" at the United Nations. It's off to New York....! Sing it Frank...! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMfz1jlyQrw Mozart Edited by W A Mozart, Apr 21 2016, 08:46 AM.

Low approval numbers means the person won't be re-elected, it's not a basis for impeachment. If that were the case, every US President would be impeached when they fall below 50% approval The two groups favoring impeachment are those who can't get power through the election process, and those who are pissed that the economy is in a slump. It has zero to do with corruption or illegal activity on her part, she's just an inept leader. In fact, throwing her out would mean they replaced one of the few uncorrupted politicians and replace her with a bunch of criminally corrupt politicians Having been down here for a few years has taught me that Brasillians are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, and they're not particularly honest or trustworthy. Corruption is in their nature. They prefer competent corruption over incompetent honesty Edited by Attaburnsinhell, Apr 25 2016, 07:47 AM.

The reason for her unpopularity is somewhat relevant to the impeachment proceedings and there is a good deal of smoke here, whether it's because, as you say, that she is incompetent or the investigation into her campaign irregularities or the fact that she was the Minister of Energy and sat on the Petrobras Board of Directors while tens of millions in graft was being dispensed... and no, most of the public doesn't believe she knew nothing of the scandal. Saying that everyone is corrupt is not an excuse for corruption, take them down, all of them. |

Yes, well... good luck with that:
Oh, by the way: going to the war in Irak, under false pretenses, with gigantic loses of blood and treasure (bah: transfer from the general public to a few concentrated pockets, really), is corruption, too. I don't remember you calling for the Chimp's impeachment, you know...
