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.

wow - I did could not imagine this time last year that things would turn out as they have. She's toast now. Once she loses control of the booty and can no longer dole out favors her support structure {the red shirts} will shrivel away.

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.
