    77% of the voters believe she was part of the corruption.....not a good number. They are protesting in the streets for Dilma's impeachment.

    Must be the USA coup planning......right brasshole?

    Correct. The farther the United States, the better. Not to mention, that for where Brazil is going to South America will follow. The South American business are directed to Asia. The United States is a thing of the past.

    “...protesting in the streets...” The information passed by the US security services are increasingly less accurate.

    “...77% of the voters believe...” Did you based on some research manipulated by Rede Globo, Abril or Datafolha?

    Do yourself a favor, criticize what you read.

    “where Brazil is going to South America will follow”

    Except for Colombia, Peru and Chile.

    They're going in a different direction...... with Mexico.

    @2. Always good to hear the words of a murderer. How many have you done? Buying the last loaf? The last bog roll? The last butt 'cleaner'. Like a bottle cleaner but with a Brazilian bend.

    'where Brazil is going to South America will follow.' Excellent idea. Earthquake, plague, quicksand, tidal wave, volcano? Nuclear explosions.

    Ah yes! It's all going swimmingly for FatAss Dilma and her new gang of sycophants.

    Now they have to provide enough money for the rest of the politicians to pocket. Can't just have the elite taking backhanders you know.

    We Brazilians are prepared for the fall of the democratic government that is being engineered by right-wing parties. We have good prospects. It will be a great opportunity to put into lawlessness right-wing parties. And confiscate the assets of corrupt ruling class and subservient to Western interests.

    At this time we will change Brazil. We will have a NATIONALIST ruling class, entrepreneurial and polite.

    Long live the South América!

    Why do you keep posting videos of Brazil's armed forces. They are of no consequence to the USA or Europe. Is it to frighten your Argentinian neighbours ?

    I've said it once and I'll say it again. I really like my videos and they raise my self esteem. That's it!

    What a sad way to live. I couldn't imagine living in a country where you think that is a possibility.

    Mind you my country didn't spend a third of last century as a military dictatorship.

    11. If those videos raise your self esteem you must be pretty friggin sad.

    Everytime you post one I laugh.

    You have no idea how unimportant and impotent Brazil is to the civilized world.

    Oh poor Brasileiro.

    So uneducated and always willing to show it. Simply insults for a simple mind.

    Australia has lost plenty of soldiers. But never killing ourselves to impose a dictatorship.

    How many Brazilian have been killed by Brazilians? 100% more than Australians soldiers killing Australians.

    I'd insert a YouTube link here but my self-esteem is too high with all this confidence I have being an educated Australian.

    Interesting advert for the opera at Masada but not really pertinent to the topic.
    If you want to discuss Masada fair enough, I have been there and the views from the top are impressive. The earth works the Romans had built to end the siege are still visible and the cable car ride to the top is scary.

    @2 brASSHOLE
    Obvious you are a filthy communist. You want all the people who work hard for living, to support idiots like you. And what newspaper do you read ? “A Gazeta do PT”...Chief Editor = Luis Ignorante Lula da Silva .
    Why don't you make an effort to understand what you try to read ?
    @9
    Tell us you moron, which parties in Brazil are right-wing ? Yoy don't know the difference in the political spectrum, do you ?
    @11
    Your esteem comes in the shape of a big, green banana nanica.

    Skip, Captain, Clyde, Chris, Conq and yb , the brASSHOLE is a poor, uneducated nitwit ; he will never be anything in life except a dirty parasite, but unfortunately, he still has the freedom to post his stupid ideas.

    I have no doubt that the Brazilian Congress will be wanting to spend big on the promotion of “Hetro Pride Day”.

    @21 Hippy
    Question: Why d' you “have no doubt” that Congress will “spend big” on HPDay ? Justify your claim....for once !
    But just fyi, the “Hetero Pride Day” is a Law that was proposed by (the DEM-Democratic Party) and passed by the City of Sao Paulo ; has nothing to do with Congress. The Worker's Party (PT) and the Communist Party (PCdB) voted against it , claiming (when it was voted, in 2011) that it would stimulate violence against the Gay community... As far as I'm concerned, such a day is meaningless, but the PT and PCdB voted against it because they like to present themselves to the public as sympathizers of anything that can favour them politically...it's the so-called “political correctness” bs which the human-rights activists and liberals love. They claim it's homophobic, but why would it be, if the only reason for its existence is to guarantee the heterosexuals the same rights as the Gay community ???

    O projeto de lei foi aprovado no dia 2 de agosto de 2011, sem votação nominal. Manifestaram-se contra o projeto a bancada do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT), formada por 11 vereadores, dois vereadores do Partido Comunista do Brasil (PCdoB) e, individualmente, os vereadores Claudio Fonseca (PPS), Claudio Prado (PDT), Gilberto Natalini (sem partido), Juscelino Gadelha (sem partido), Roberto Tripoli (PV) e Eliseu Gabriel (PSB).1 A aprovação do projeto de lei foi lamentada pelo vereador Ítalo Cardoso (PT), que citou exemplos para argumentar que o projeto faz uma possível apologia à violência.1

    A Associação Brasileira de Gays, Lésbicas, Bissexuais, Travestis e Transexuais e não incentivaria a homofobia.
