Brazil's Senate is debating whether President Dilma Rousseff should face a full impeachment trial.
The majority of the senators have already said they will vote against the president.

Too bad we couldn’t have done this with W. Maybe we could have had someone that would have supported upheld and defended the Constitution by not ceding the executive office to a known foreigner.
She’s out. Lost by a vote of 55-22.
This vote means the Senate goes forward with the impeachment trial and Dilma Rousseff is suspended from office for 180 days with the Vice-President taking her place.
She probably was hoping for Cuban "doctors" coming to her galloping rescue - but those guys are out of traveling cash. Same goes for Maduro - shes funneled Brazilian cash to his brigades and that was $$ pissed away.
What a different situation altoghether down south - Chile finally waking up to their Socialsima president, Argentina losing its Peronistas, Venezuela about to boil over and now Brazil getting serious about government philosophy. Cool.
