Any Brazilian interested in politics has developed a new morning habit: checking to see which politicians were arrested in the earliest hours of the day. Such arrests have become common lately.
This very morning, there was a police raid on two former big kahunas who are being investigated for taking bribes and disrupting investigations on the mega-company Petrobrás. On the evening of the same day, I left my gym to find that the president of the Senate has been ousted by order of the Supreme Court.
Because he is standing trial for corruption, he can´t legally be in the succession line to the presidency. In his seat now sits another senator accused of essentially the same corruption scheme, but investigations haven’t caught him yet. Any morning now.

We need more arrests here.
For 8 year olds...
They are draining their swamp.
We need to drain ours.......................
I seem to remember that the Obama administration gave millions of dollars (or more?) to assist Petrobas and the Brazilian oil industry a short time after the Gulf oil spill and tightening of drilling restrictions. If I recall correctly, many of the U.S. Gulf drill rigs ended up relocating to Brazil. Does anyone else remember this, or am I nuts?
Hi.
“We need more arrests here.”
Yep.

Sure. Soros was big in Petrobras then.
Amen and thank you.
You are correct..............
I’ll take Petrobras for $ 2 billion, Alex.

I vaguely remember that $20 billion was sent there...
