DumbAss has reaped the whirlwind she and the other crooks have perpetrated it seems.

Brazil is still going down and it won't recover until the present investigations into who stole what of the public purse are completed.

Can anyone trust the investigators? How endemic is the corruption?
Who watches the watchmen?
Will Brazil always ”a country of the Future, and never the Present?

What a mess and what a disaster for the Brazilian people.

The stranglehold of pervasive corruption is near impossible to escape from.

Brazil is in gridlock and demise with her in charge, hopefully with Dilma gone
Brazil will now take the steps required that will bring confidence and growth, but not easy with all the socialists still hanging around like a bad smell and the constant pork barrell politics that exist.

Looks as though Brazil will eventually look for a complete overhaul -from Street to Senate.

It might be a good idea for the Temer to keep an eye on what the fat cow takes with her when she leaves the Presential Palace / residence.....if she has the same kleptomaniac tendency that Lula displayed when he left the residence in 2011 - he arrived in 2003 with half a dozen suitcases, and left with 11 x 20' containers - Temer will need to buy new furniture for the whole place.

The laws after all, are created by the crooks & the corrupt, mainly to benefit and to protect their own interests. Watch them all going scot-free! REF: http://i0.wp.com/www.humorpolitico.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Lula-livre.jpeg?resize=580%2C370

@8 Hippy
Thank you Hippy. What would we all do without your intelligent contribution ?

Well, the fat cow is out, for 180 days. In her farewell speeech, as expected, she lied and distorted the truth. She insisted on the same key, denying she made any mistakes, denying she broke the Law, etc.....to conclude, all she needed to do was compare herself to Mother Theresa . But she is gone, and with her, Lula, the PT and all those 'red' idiots, waving red flags with the hammer and sickle ....maybe some one should tell them that communism fell out of style in 1989, and what's more ridiculous, is to listen to fake communists talking about democracy - their version of it, of course.
