Temer preparing to take over…”I will be ready” as Rousseff's coalition melts
President Dilma Rousseff pledged on Wednesday to form a government of national unity if she survives an impeachment vote in Congress this weekend, but the odds of became steeper as allies continued to desert her. In effect a stream of defections from Rousseff's coalition makes it increasingly likely she will lose Sunday's ballot in the Lower House of Congress. Read full article

Surely, Temer is part of the problem and no better than Dilma?
Apr 14th, 2016 - 11:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0They should clean house completely and have an election asap
Michel Temer is a con man who could never win an election for president. His government will not be recognized by the Brazilian people.

If they're lucky the military will take over.

Apr 14th, 2016 - 01:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sure, let's suspend Rights and Liberties and impose a dubious Dictator, when a Democratic election is capable of regime change.
Sounds very 'unAmerican'.
While Temer is far from being the ideal replacement for the fat cow, at least he realizes that the majority of Brazilians (the intelligent ones at least, or the less stupid) are fed up to their back teeth with the disastrous economic policies, the corruption and the criminal acts perpetrated by the Government and the PT.
Apr 14th, 2016 - 08:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As for the military, I don't believe they'll intervene, but if they do, I think it would be only be to maintain Law and Order, while the members of Congress that aren't in prison, or being prosecuted, will have to mount a new government. At the moment, the options are not great, but whichever they are, they are better than the fat cow remaining in power.
Civil disobedience will provide the military with just the excuse it needs.

Guess that's why they have a pretty but vacant Commie running them now.

Apr 15th, 2016 - 12:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0“Never met a smart Canuck” Why is that you're so unaware your advertising your deficiencies? You've been mentioned in dispatches to wit: “There's no gentle way to put it: People who give in to racism and prejudice may simply be dumb,… …The research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. These findings point to a vicious cycle, according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario. Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study found. …research does show that prejudice is more common in those who hold right-wing ideals that those of other political persuasions…Earlier studies have found links between low levels of education and higher levels of prejudice,…” I never mock the afflicted but I'm more than happy to make an exception in your case.
A LAMENT.

Apr 15th, 2016 - 03:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well, you see, that's your problem. You simply haven't been properly introduced. I could start by having you meet my ex-fiance, from Montreal, who exhibited enormous wisdom in ultimately electing not to marry me.

However, I am also pleased to learn that your, (now fortunately), EX-fiance has shown such wisdom as to having shunned you from her exalted company.. perhaps better good will come of it for you?

Cheers, always a pleasure.
I am just lurking around, awaiting The Downfall of Dilma...
To remain in power or to grab power; they will be willing to sell their mothers, dance the “Boquinha da garrafa”- YOU name it! :o))

Speaking of fat cows -- Chile's demi-marxist Ballenet might be the next to go. Corruption and scandals erupting like callampas in a Chile that is finally admitting to a little bit of its corruption. Approval ratings in the gutter. Her government has a disapproval of something like 70 percent.
Temer: ”I will be ready”: Ready to follow Dilma - ready to GO!
Apr 19th, 2016 - 01:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The “Writing on the wall”:
IF she/he goes or stays; equals to:
= Worsening of the political situation
= Return of the “old” corrupts into power
= MORE Sophisticated methods of :
: corruption,
: money laundering,
: bribes [giving & taking] &
: using of off-shore accounts
= LESS Powers to the investigators
= WORST days ahead for Brazil.
