Whose going to get rid of him, though? The corrupt Congress, or the former crusading judge who's now a member of his cabinet? Or the people who voted to legalise murder, as long as it's of 'undesirables'.

With a lot of luck, maybe. Brazilians seem a lot more accepting of crap government than Argentines; none of their presidents have had to flee in a helicopter.

D'you think you're close to getting rid of Macri?

I can not see Brazil without a colostomy bag. Be it from an ass president, be it from a president riding on the ass.

Liar? It's never occurred otherwise you would have revealed it. No proof, no truth. So, you're the only revealed liar here.

“you think truth is irrelevant?” Oh you must mean your BS that I have to show intent to lie, from a liar? Well that was put to bed here:
“you have to prove intent ...” ”There is no such obligation, under these conditions according to the following experts. ...the responsibility condition is that the speaker, because he is answerable for what he has said, may be deemed to act as if he were sincere – whether he actually is sincere or not. FOR OUR PURPOSES, IT IS WHAT THE SPEAKER CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO THAT COUNTS, NOT WHAT HE PRIVATELY THINKS.“

“No, I'm talking about..” Your further attempted fraud. “The Relevance of Intention in Argument Evaluation” states it quite clearly “IT IS WHAT THE SPEAKER CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO THAT COUNTS, NOT WHAT HE PRIVATELY THINKS” from The Relevance of Intention in Argument Evaluation Charlotte Jørgensen which totally destroyed you false claim “that To show someone is deliberately lying, you have to prove intent, and you can't.” So truth or intention are irrelevant.

I Think someone is hoping for Killitoff trained at the University of Peronism in the art of Economic Suicide. The 'brains' behind KFC's magic downward spiral that Macri has been unable to halt. One wonders about the SA propensity to believe in fantasy economics and the obvious continuing series of failures that dog this potentially rich Continent.

Apparently we will be looking at 7% growth and falling food prices immediately after Brexit. You are baffled, Brexit supporters arent. When you leave a protectionist bloc the economy will rebound. Free trade works! Believe in your country!

“When you leave a protectionist block...” it's a free trade block! That's what the single market is, the single largest free trade area in the world.

On 1st April the EU will be slapping tariffs on all our exports to them, and we will have to do the same to theirs. Our companies will no longer be free to sell services there, the City will be shut out of EU finance. Not only that, we are by default quitting all our trade deals with other countries at the same time. That makes our trade less free! What part of this do you not understand?

When we leave, and our growth slows down or stops, and food prices rise, will you admit then that it's all fantasy economics?

Utter rubbish. I expect you believed in tne millenium bug too! There will no doubt be a little disruption for a month or two and then we will move on swiftly.

As for protectionism its the whole reason the EU was set up for! And it still is.

That's because 'Project Fear' is a fantasy invented by Brexiters to manipulate you.

Are you seriously claiming the EU won't be putting tariffs and quotas on British exports after Brexit?

Bad news for Argentina could equally be considered good news for us, but I don't celebrate your suffering.

And you can see the Brexiters are still firmly deaf to reason, and blind to all evidence. TV probably saw that 7% growth figure on the side of a bus.

Not likely, Bolsonaro was the candidate of the armed forces, and he's put a bunch of generals in his cabinet. I don't think he'll risk pissing them off.

@The Voice
After a hard Brexit, we'll be free to make our own trade deals. That's true. BUT we still have to make them, it's not automatic or instant. The day we leave the EU with no transition agreement, we not only quit the single market, we have no trade deals with any country. Nada, zip, zilch. So while our trade with countries like the US will be no more free than before, we lose free trade with Europe and other countries like Japan and Canada.

If free trade works, then making trade less free will be bad for the economy. If we leave with no deal at the end of March, there will be at least a slowdown, and probably a full blown recession.

REF: “I don't think he'll risk pissing them off”

Of course, he won't.

Rest of the corrupts [+ masses] too may not enjoy the meddling of the Armed Forces. Of course, that may not prevent the Armed Forces at least from trying a stealthy coup.

Besides, my reply to the question: “Who's going to get rid of him” was, The Armed Forces; obviously because, the Armed Forces would just luv to return back to power.

And your options were:
- The corrupt Congress,
- the former crusading judge who's now a member of his cabinet
- people who voted to legalise murder, as long as it's of undesirables

The almighty president may not want to get rid of them but it may also happen that THEY may like to get rid of him!

You also overlooked a blinking fact that after all, only the nincompoops are destined - have the privilege - of inheriting the Holy Land of Brazil AND the history has ample examples to prove this fact.
