    “Chief justice Ricardo Lewandowski declared the trial open and later briefly suspended it as senators yelled at each other while debating procedural matters.”

    Piss-up in the brewery has started I see, with the BBQ being prepared (see 5) for lunch.

    Lula looks like a janitor, there to clean the rubbish up after he has spoken it.

    Don't you just love the 'politicians' of the third world countries of SA?

    “Rousseff's ally and predecessor, PT founder Lula da Silva, said in a speech in Rio: “Today begins a week of national shame.”

    AGW, more like 14 years of national shame comes to an end....

    I don't see Temer being able to last until 2018.

    In any case Dilma has setup a PT win of the presidency at the next election.

    I know....the only thing you should worry about beneath you, is an ant hill....

    @4 Hippy
    Besides your usual stupid forecasts, you are starting to sound just like the Brasshole...
    Besides the fact that Dilma has been totally and definitively thrown to the dogs by the PT, I beg of you, please tell me who their secret candidate is, that will win in 2018 ? I promise not to tell anyone.....is it perhaps Maduro, Morales, or La Kretina ??
