The Country of Brazil has been taking a good pounding lately at the expense of the mismanaged Olympic Games; as well as the economic crisis that has loomed over the head of the country as a rain cloud. But there is one thing I can admit, they know the smell of bad fish when it hits their collective nostrils, as opposed to the U.S. Senate, which seems to be acquainted with the odor. Now the people of Brazil want a change and after 13 years of leftist ineptitude and corruption, the country needed to change course. A dream that we can only imagine.
Mr Michel Temer, now President, is traveling to China to take part in a summit of the G-20 group of major economies. He also told ministers to work closely with the Congress to revive the Brazilian economy. The dismissal of Ms Rousseff has caused a rift between Brazil and three left-wing South American governments that criticized the move later on Wednesday. Brazil and Venezuela recalled each other’s ambassadors. Brazilian envoys to Bolivia and Ecuador have also been ordered home.
The Senate voted with the results noted as, Sixty-one senators voted in favor of her dismissal and 20 against, meeting the two-thirds majority needed to remove her from the presidency. The process still works when there are “honorable” people invested in the process. I salivate at the thought. What do you think?
