Fuck em all I say. But we are the ones screwed. Economy showed signs of recovery, of course something this bad would happen.

I don't follow Brazil's political situation terribly closely, but the news last year here in Portugal made it sound like there weren't exactly a bunch of honest politicians around just waiting to get voted into office.
So, assuming you remove the current president, what comes next? Lula back in power?

Didn't the current President use charges of corruption to out the former president? This is very ironic
Actually I would say that the one who pushed for the impeachment was Eduardo Cunha, but he had some help from Temer. Also, Cunha is the former speaker of the house who is now in jail and received hush money. In the end Temer will fall for helping the guy who helped him with the impeachment.
Yeah they are the worst, that's been a point noted by many since yesterday, especially because if Temer is not the president anymore then we have an indirect election to decide who is president. Which basically means that the corrupt house representatives will choose our next president. I'm just waiting to see if we can impeach a 3rd presidents before the elections in 2018.
In a way, yes. Dilma wasn't impeached for being caught negotiating any bribery, but for some frauds related to the federal budget. It was more an accounting corruption rather than a more common type of corruption.
Not really.
He doesn't have the usual privileges of the president, because the crime was committed while he was president. I would say it's actually worse for him, because he would be judged directly by the Supreme Court, which means there wouldn't be a higher court for him to ahn... "recorrer"(I don't know the term in english)
Weeeeeell, he was pushing economic reforms through. He is a crony politician of the worst kind there is, there's no doubt about that, but most of the reforms were necessary. The way they some of them were done is debatable though
Temer was a mixed bag. Some stuff he pushed was good and some was pretty bad, but overall, i had the fellings the country was doing better than last year and with opportunity to do even better by last year.
Now no one knows. This turmoil might end fast or not and even after this, i don't feel like there's anyone in there that can even try to fix things. We lost four years in the end and now we can only hope next year being something better to us.

I guess you could say appeal, but I'm not so sure if that's the best word.
Anyway, that's an important thing to consider. It really is better for him to be judged by any other court but the supreme court in this case, it would take longer and he could appeal at least to 3 higher courts. However once he steps down that won't be the only charge against him, there are several corruption charges that can't be made against him as long as he's still president. So he'll have to weight his options.

Brazil needs a Republic reboot;
Economically yep. Everything else? A disaster.
If we reboot we'll go back to a monarchy. Which might not be that bad afterall, the empire did have its advantages.
You know what Trump did to health ?
Temer basically did for everything.
Retirement, job laws, environment... Everything thinking about the 1% rich white men
I guess, but Paraguay still has the fastest impeachment I've heard of. So we're trying another world record, maybe we can impeach more presidents than any other nation. Also, we may try to get the record for most consecutive impeachments in the shortest time.

Just a reminder that Dilma did nothing wrong
Sorry, we've not been the best neighbours in a long time and we're holding down many other economies, but at least... yeah, there's nothing good out of it, sorry again. I hope we can get that deal with the EU though, that would be great.
He died before being inaugrated, he was never officialy our president.
Edit:
Sorry I was wrong, he got sick before inauguration and died a few days later. Still he never actually took office, Sarney did from day one.

We going to impeach everybody, let's go
She's also in the JBS scandal, tho
funnily enough that (along with the operation) is the guy responsible for putting both Aecio and Temer in this situation.
Some people are just dumb, tho
He also didn't wanted Cunha to talk about Temer, which could have made this happen a few months ago
It puts the incompetence of the voters on blast, though.

Good, good.
Temer is not under his jurisdiction though. If he allowed the questions people would've complained just like they did with that tape from Dilma and Lula, which was responsible for him being reprimanded by the supreme court and later apologizing. Also, these tapes are from march, maybe he didn't allow the questions so he wouldn't hinder the investigations.
Who didn't? Moro? What are you talking about? lol
just stop with the conspiracy bullshit, please.
At least this ends (for sane people) the narrative (that sane people didn't use) that Lava Jato was only after PT. Which it clearly never was (Although PT got the main flak cause, well, its pretty obvious)
yep

You should read a bit about the brazilian dictatorship. Even a corrupt democracy is better than the amount of lives that were lost or disappeared forty years ago.

Impeachment is so hot right now.
Kinda, the lower house's head becomes president for the next 30 days and after that time Congress elects a new president who will be president till our next election in 2018.
That If he and senate head are not indicted by corruption, if that happens is the supreme court head
I was explaining the first steps, the supreme court head is the last in line, but yeah she could become our new president. Anyway, it doesn't change much, whomever gets there will be president only for 30 days, unless they are elected by Congress afterward.
