“Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and her predecessor Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva have been exonerated of all responsibility in the Petrobras scandal in a report released this Monday by the parliamentary commission in charge of the investigation.”

I did expect better from you.
TeleSur:
” Nueva Televisora del Sur, C.A. is a public company which has various Latin American governments as its sponsors. Its sponsors are the governments of Argentina (20%), Bolivia (5%), Cuba (19%), Ecuador, Nicaragua, Uruguay (10%) and Venezuela (51%).”
(just google it!)
Every single 'sponsor' is a ”Bolivarian ' State...
Pardon me if I just dismiss any comment from you in future...

Oct 28th, 2015 - 03:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Have you noticed that Terence is a true believer ? (synonym for 'ignorant').
Lula, his family and Dilma are innocent of all these absurd charges !! After all, who the hell do the federal prosecutors think they are ? How dare they even insinuate that Lula's son might be involved in corruption.....
Funny thing is that Lula's two sons, Dilma's daughter, and the children of a couple of PT ministers, have all become millionaires overnight. Could they be involved in corruption, sponsored by their parents ? Of course not....says Terence.
Wait for the next 'telenovela', to be called “The BNDES' loans”.

He would be if he could come up with something original and thought provoking, the next time will be the first.

Oct 28th, 2015 - 06:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Your point is what? That the report released this Monday by the parliamentary commission must be false because you don't like the sources sponsors. Give yourself a shake. If it's factually correct thats all thats important. For the rest of you losers, I guess it its got to be humiliating that every time you proffer your ignorant uniformed opinion. I am able to provide the correct and accurate information.
“..is a true believer ?..Lula, his family and Dilma are innocent of all these ..charges” I don't know one way or another, not having the benefit of a crystal ball anymore than you do. But unlike you, I don't hold a reactionary political view, that would be sufficient to suspend the belief in the presumption of innocence

Isn't it nice to know that serious sources of information, such as the OESP, and some other newspapers now have a competitor ? it's called “Teroogle”.
As Lula would say, “never in the history of this nation, have we been honoured by such a privileged mind”... Coming from Lula, would be no surprise.

Thus, he who keeps silent is assumed to consent; silence gives consent. qui tacet, consentit-lit. he who is silent agrees. Thus, who keeps silent consents; silence means consent; silent consent is same as expressed consent; consent by conduct is as good as expressed consent. ....”

Oct 30th, 2015 - 09:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Taken from a dictionary” is how you make a “logically valid statement” and for fill your burden of proof. The antithesis of what you do. The only brown matter here is what you post which is diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of ideas. If you're gonna be a smartass, first you have to be smart. Otherwise you're just an ass.
