    Brazil is the only country where a corrupt thief incriminate an innocent.

    Not even she is being investigated. And even if she were, it is the duty of the prosecutor to show evidence of the crime.

    The Federal Audit Court only approve or disapprove accounts for the federal budget. The trial will be political and will take place in Congress, ie in the lair of vipers and thieves.

    Brazil will become an ungovernable country because it bringing down Dilma, we will do the same thing with the next ruler.

    @1 Brasshole
    “Honest” ? of course, you mean the PT's version of honesty, right ?

    @3
    She does not need to be investigated. Her crimes - overspending, 'creative' accounting to cover up mismanagement of public funds (using funds from two official Federal banks to pay for handouts, which the Law explicitely prohibits) - are out in the open. Now it's up to Congress ; If they vote her out, she goes. Good riddance fatty.
    And you brasshole, will be sent to prison, where you can jump into the barrel every Tuesday night.

    At this point I'm pressing my lawyers for you to prove everything you said here in MercoPress.

    Expect news of justice, whatever where you are.

    @5 brasshole (with shit for brains)
    Can't take the truth, can you ? I've just said what's in every newspaper. But you wouldn't know as you don't read much.
    The only 'pressing' you'll be doing will be trying to keep your ass against the wall when you're in jail. Take some vaseline with you. You'll need it.

    @8:

    Since you are about to get fired, how are you going to pay for your lawyers? Could you please sue me too?

    @8. How come? Going to insist on a cell with a mirror? Never take a shower? Where would anyone find an “innocent” in Brazil? Especially when a bunch of you use the same id?

    Do ask your lawyers to advise you on the legal implications of all the lies you've told.

    I think the humane and just action is life sentences for Dilma and Lula along with the other leaders of the Worker's Party officials at the Carandiru Prison in Brazil.

    Sadly there is no death penalty, but rotting in a hellish cell block is the minimum they deserve.

    As far as the rabid followers of Dilma and Lula... ...it's just to bad there isn't a brief military take over where they could mass arrest Brasshole types, line them up agains a wall and shoot them... ...but then again, too good of a scenario...

    @11 Chicureo,
    You've just described Utopia.
    But talking about Dilma, don't know whether any of you bothered to watch her speech at the UN General Assembly a couple of weeks ago. It reached the point where she started to talk about , or rather , TRIED to talk about (not one of her strong points) sustainable energy. She stated the obvious - that hydroelectric power was the cheapest to produce, to maintain etc, because you can stock water...Then she got on to aeolic power, and said that it was expensive because no one had yet discovered how to stock wind. Remember, her audience was made up of Ambassadors, not 5 year olds. But then I thought, it must be possible to stock wind, after all, hot wind is all that ever comes out of the hole in her face...not to mention the gas from her other hole.

    Jack,

    Utopia is a lead bullet for every Socialist-Marxist in South America and a thermonuclear bomb each for Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua.

    Regarding the Communist pig Dilma: My GOD! Can you imagine the vast amount of methane gas alone emitted by the ugly sow?

    She should be declared an ecological danger in increasing global warming and banned from the face of the Earth...
