    REF: “The construction company said it is seeking a plea bargain with the justice department, which could shed light on politicians' involvement in the scheme”: Sounds like Odebrecht is now complaining that it was victimized by the politicians! :o))

    For some reason Coup and Impeachment are often confused in Leftist countries.

    The coup leaders are on the Odebrecht list. Lula and Dilma do not.

    A coup shows a breakdown of law and order within a country.

    Should we add this to the list of problems facing Brazil at the moment?

    You say you're 16 ? well , if true that would certainly explain a lot - but don't worry, you have plenty of time ahead of you to get shafted by your incomPeTent heroes and to realize they are just shit, transformed in to a shape that somewhat resembles a human being...

    If you aren't bullshitting like you usually do, and if you want to become an agricultural engineer, perhaps the studying will make the crap floating around in your head settle in the right position.
