The Brazilian Congress set in motion on Tuesday a complex process that will weigh the possible impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff, but even more significant was a letter made public by vice president Michel Temer, which clearly indicates a rift and a possible distancing of the senior partner in the ruling coalition.

    Mr. Temer said it all: I am a traitor and I want the power to me.

    It's good to know who our enemies are.

    However, Sr. Temer, the power in Brazil comes from the ballot box.

    Dilma and Lula reflect the ignorance of most Brazilians, they are closer to Africa than to the first world

    @1 BRasshole
    Call Temer whatever you want, but the real traitors here, are fat arse Dilma, Lula the Toad and the PT shit. Or have you forgotten the disgusting lies that fatty told us about the Economy, just to get re-elected ? No sooner than her 2nd term started, the lid came off the pot of shit she turned the economy into. But of course, you believe her, that she was the victim of some crazy right-wing conspiracy by the Martians to take over Brazil so she was forced to sign off on irregular, illegal loans from public banks, in order to disguise the enormous deficit in the budget.
    And just fyi, 90% of Brazilians are now your enemies, and IF a Presidential election were held today, the ballots would show the PT in a distant last place, with less than 10% of the popular vote.. Don't you listen to the news you parasitical piece of shit ?

    Brazil's Rousseff hits the bottom amid the biggest corruption scheme scandal under to her own socialist administration, followed by a very salty letter originated by her own vice-president, Mr. Michel temer.

    Dear President,

    “Verba volant, scripta manent”, and or “spoken words fly away, written words remain”.

    If so, I'm writing to you in the middle of an intense unfolded news during recent days, and everything else that comes to my acknowledge within the presidential palace surroundings. This is a personal letter, It's my own original outburst words, that I should have done it a long time ago.

    Since then, I would to say that it's not necessary to publicly announce the need of my loyalty, in which I have already revealed over the last five years of my institutional loyalty guided by Brazilian act law 79, herein contained on Brazil's federal constitution.
    I'd certainly know the functions of a vice-president, attached to my natural discretion connected and derived from our existent constitutional provision.

    However, I have always carried the science of an absolute distrust from you, and of your surroundings towards to myself and to my Brazilian Democratic Movement party, and or (PMDB) coalition party. An incompatible distrust towards to what we did so far to keep the personal and political party to support the existent government coalition that you're herein. Just to point out a few, at our last convention, only 59.9% percent have had voted for the alliance, and they did it in past, and I dare you to reason against me as record, because I was actually the vice-president and candidate on the last re-election.

    I have kept so far the Brazilian Democratic Movement party, supporting your government coalition, in which you're actually using my political prestige that have arising from my own credibility and respect, that I have truly gained in the party. Certainly all this event did not generate confidence in me, but unfortunat
