Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff bowed out defiantly on Thursday, suspended from office after the Senate voted to put her on trial for breaking budget laws in a historic decision brought on by a deep recession and a corruption scandal.
Rousseff, in office since 2011, will be replaced by Vice President Michel Temer, for the duration of a Senate trial that could take up to six months.
Rousseff, speaking shortly before she left Brasilia's Planalto presidential palace, said was notified of her suspension on Thursday morning.
"I may have made mistakes but I did not commit any crime," Rousseff said in an angry address, calling the impeachment "fraudulent" and "a coup." The leftist leader, 68, was flanked by dozens of ministers who were leaving with her administration.

It’s going to be a great Olympics isn’t it? Major political problems in Brasil as well as construction and hygiene problems.

"Rousseff participated in the militant activities of the Comando de Libertação NacionalCOLINA (National Liberation Command) and advocated Marxist politics among labour union members and as editor of the newspaper The Piquet. According to the magazine Piauí, she handled weapons."
Like all good Marxists, she became enamored with money, power, and prestige and she rode the backs of the proles to wealth. Marxism is a completely fraudulent ideology.

Did she have an email server in the bathroom too, against gov’t regulations?
Let’s see......Old, white, socialist, female, corrupt, lies a lot. No wonder Mrs. Clinton doesn’t have time to do press conferences, she’s too busy destroying Brazil.
