D. R. is totally inefficient and incompetent as a President.

As her “Performance & Accomplishment” during the past 5-6 years; all she has to show is:
- the gradual destruction of the Brazilian Economy
- feeble and ineffective attempts to curtail corruption. The corrupt still continue to remain in power and also continue to being corrupt.

In the first place; she did not keep her promises made during her TWO campaigns. Anyway, ALL the Presidents make false promises but in her case; she not only lied but also kept the current economic crisis away from the public-knowledge. With her incompetence; she is leading Brazil to its inevitable ruin and pretends as if the crisis arrived suddenly from nowhere and it is not her fault at all!

So why can't she be impeached?

Just saw on TV : the Federal Police and prosecutors investigating the “Lava-Jato” have just announced the arrest of a few more people involved in hugh corruption and Dilma's election in 2010 and her re-election in 2014. Undeniable evidence of bribes and money stolen from Petrobras being funnelled into the PT's election campaigns is starting to make Dilma and the Lula-thief squirm..... not to mention the shit that's about to hit the fan , regarding the Lula-thief's luxury apartment at the beach which is not his, or his country home that is not his either......

Cunha and the movement to impeach are moribund because of the lack of evidence. On the other hand Cunha is in real danger with respect to the evidence against him.

Stop crapping out of the hole in your face......Proof to incriminate Lula and the 40 thieves is abundant....only an a.hole believes otherwise ; it's all a matter of how the rotten political system decides to use it.......just fyg, not that it will take you out of your blissful ignorance, but in a nation-wide poll done by Data Folha, more than 70 % of Brazilians are now convinced that Lula is up to his eyeballs in shit. Even if he doesn't go to prison - which at this point IS a poossibility - politically he is finished.
