    @Brasileiro:

    REF: “Temer has no regrets and trusts Bolsonaro's government will succeed”:

    Temer was VERY successful [everyone knows in “what”]; so why not Bolsonaro?

    The Army will take power on January 28, 2019. Bolsonaro has no aptitude to govern.

    Congratulations! You've earned a new lifestyle change!

    Yes, obviously you know too much and the military knows where you hide. Expect a surprise midnight intervention to an exciting abrupt living relocation for a secure facility to re-educate your erroneous mis-ideology...

    If the Brazilian army is worried about me, I will gladly undo your worries. It is enough that my army asks, and I will gladly take my life!

    But no my friend, they don't want to harm you, they instead want to re-educate you with some of your friends about the evils of Marxist-Socialisim. The military is a benevolent organization to assist the misguided ignorant masses.

    If your dislike for the Armed Forces is so great, why do you use a photo of a “milico” to represent yourself ? And if you are such a patriot - that you would gladly “take” your life (commit suicide ??) if the Army asked you to, why are you always so critical of them ?

    He's all frantic that Bolsonaro will turn Brazil into a military dictatorship, yet the future president has actually shown a strong commitment to Democracy. Watching our liberal snowflake melt will be very entertaining.

    Categorize the regime under ANY favourite discipline. THE Fact will remain that the crooks will:
    - continue to enjoy more & more special privileges
    - claim their innocence in spite of the sentences
    - NEVER return their loot

    ISN'T THIS, IS HOW A FARCICAL SYSTEM WORKS?

    many people, especially the leftists and 'petistas' - who are angry that idiot Haddad lost the election - try to create the worst scenario possible for the incoming president.
    Despite his military background, despite his “generals”, he has been quite pragmatic - without ignoring democratic principles, which he defends - when talking about the task ahead of him.

    He will not be able to root out the evil in Congress, as that is a cultural trait of most, but he has shown signs that he will attempt to change things.

    Those that are complaining and are trying to crap on his head, are exactly those who have the most to lose by doing away with the current status quo.....those who live off the system. And many who don't, are too damned stupid to see it, and are happy to be fooled..

    ”Examining Bolsonaro’s top deputies and cabinet appointments, it becomes apparent that his speeches against corruption are nothing but empty words. From the allies arrayed alongside Bolsonaro during his first speech as president-elect to the transition team he assembled and the governmental department heads he’s appointed, Bolsonaro picked at least seven people tangled up in scandals, from lawsuits and official investigations to criminal convictions and even confession of guilt.
    A month before Alberto Fraga was caught on tape complaining that the bribes he got were too low, fellow member of Congress Onyx Lorenzoni decided that there was no point in waiting to get caught. In May 2017, Lorenzoni openly admitted to having received R$100,000 ($26,000) in slush funds from a company named JBS, the world’s largest meat processor, ...As of January, Lorenzoni will take up a ministerial position as Bolsonaro’s new chief of staff.”

    “Bolsonaro picked at least seven people tangled up in scandals, from lawsuits and official investigations to criminal convictions and even confession of guilt”

    C'mon Numb nuts, do you actually believe all that Intercept shit ? doesn't say much for your intelligence. BTW, did you see the Haddad's appointments, when he - and you, of course - thought he could win ? Only 1, out of a dozen, not yet accused. But course, I'm forgetting Lula, the most honest man to ever set foot on the face of the Earth...

    “do you actually believe all that Intercept shit” Well they layout the names and what they've done. If it was untrue you would be able to successfully rehabilitate them. But you're unable to, so it must be true
    Onyx Lorenzoni admitted to having received R$100,000 ($26,000) in slush funds from a company named JBS,
    Magno Malta spent half a million reals of taxpayers’ money at two gas stations between September 2009 and last July. One spate of fuel purchases over a two-month period would be enough for a car to circle the Earth twice
    Paulo Guedes BR Educacional, got R$1 billion from the pension funds of five major state-owned companies — some of which were already under investigation for fraud.
    Marcos Pontes hid assets and violated the Military Conduct Code.
    Augusto Heleno was convicted for authorizing illegal grant agreements for Military Games,...authorized deals that amounted over R$22 million with two institutes...those could not have been hired without a public tender.
    Luiz Henrique Mandetta is now being investigated for influence trafficking, defrauding a public tender, and using slush funds while in office.
    Tereza Cristina pushed through a bill ..the approval of new agrotoxics, chemical pesticides that pose serious threats to the environment and human health. ... elected in 2014 and has seen an almost 50,000 percent increase in her assets since then. ..she has questionable connections to JBS,
    Julian Lemos In 2011, Lemos was convicted of fraud …appealed the decision, and before the second trial, the crime hit the statute of limitations and Lemos did not face any punishment.
    Jamil Megid Jr. He was convicted by Brazil’s federal accountability office for irregularities in the Military Games.... cost R$2.6 million more than it would have taken for the army to buy those items.
    The president-elect also hid over R$2.6 million in assets from the Supreme Electoral Court, according to Brazilian newspaper O Globo,

    I have exposed you as a proven liar unummerable times.
    While my last post was an enlargement of of its preceding post, which had the attendant URL.

    So no bag just the facts. Oops foot in mouth again. Have never come across such a chronic liar who is exposed each and every time, and never seems to learn from his experiences.

    Quite an partial/impartial study; I must say:

    “Quite an impartial study”.....yeh, REALLY impartial.....the first 3 paragraphs prove it's anything BUT ....Looks like Fernando Horta had an unhappy childhood (será que 'deu' atrás da horta, para o João de Deus ?), but to blame it on the AI-5, is pathetic.

    This kinda sh*it only comes out of the heads of 'petistas'...Fernando Horta says he was born in 1977, so he had reached the mature age of 8 when the military regime handed back power to the civilians....and I'm sure that his experience during those exciting 8 years qualify him to know about everything that happened BEFORE he was born.....thanks to his mother, who must have been a nut job to believe the sh*t he says she passed on to him.

    The idea he espouses that “...the military was going to clean it up...” just shows how gullible the people who told him that, were....his mother ?....as if the military could prevent the thieving , corrupt nature of most Brazilian politicians.....when they left power, corruption came back with a vengeance...to make up for lost time.

    “....and Lula governments were our best bet that all this would be left hehind...” Well, we all know how the Lula experiment turned out, don't we ? 'mensalão', 'petrolão, 'BNDESão', 'corrupção nos 'fundos de pensão' etc...

    “...seeing Dilma, a woman tortured during those times...” How dramatic....should have given her the same treatment she gave her enemies.

    Fact is, before even opening the link, seeing it was from 'brasilwire', I knew it would be a load of crap.....but I am sure that Terry has filed it away carefully, as he believes every single word, and will no doubt use it as 'proof' in the future, to back up his lies.

    “Dilma, ...should have given her the same treatment she gave her enemies.” For which you provide no proof, no surprise. Naughty, naughty, porky, porky.
