The government of Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff, her mentor Lula da Silva and their Workers Party fear very much that next Tuesday could become “D Day”, since its main ally the PMDB, and with the largest representation in Congress, will be holding an extraordinary meeting of the national directory to decide whether to continue or step down from the ruling convention.

    Oh dear, what can the matter be?

    Well, we will find out shortly.

    How the PMDB think that staying in the 'coalition' is going to help them in October is a mystery to me, but there again I am not a LatAm.

    It seems in the blood here to grasp defeat from the jaws of mediocrity.

    To MP : the top photo is not of Picciani. Probably how the idiot, who supports Dilma, will look in about 20 years...

    If the PMDB grows a pair of balls, and does leave the Government coalition, the fat cow's government will simply collapse, taking with it the LullaRat and the PT.

    Picanini and Dilma and Lula (a genus of squid) and P.T. are all showing incredible stress at the moment - see the pics. - and there is no wonder!
    But, even so, the Brasilian proletariat 'socialist workers' and their millions of poor and ignorant - those who created the 'PT coalition' - are not yet 'down and out'.

    They had their time and it it is now largely over. We can now only remember how the 'soft right' of Serra screamed at their 'opposition' to Grow Some.
    I hope the nascent nation becomes forgiven ... in time.

    Hi, Jack!

    Yes you are right.

    The only problem is that their balls are not big enough. The ministers will keep on weighing the pros & the cons for staying / leaving; till the very last minute. It may even so happen that ultimately, they'll lose their balls altogether and may not resign.

    The whole bunch is untrustworthy!

    Correction to # 2 the photo is of Jorge Picciani , State Deputy , PMDB leader for the State of Rio and the father of Leonardo Picciani (the PMDB Deputy in Federal Congress) ....funny thing though, is that while dad is against Dilma, his bloated son supports Dilma....
    Anyway, by this afternoon's end we'll know if the PMDB's testicles have dropped...

    This is just a game of Humpme Dumpme - played between both sides.
