Hard to get too happy when you consider that this was made to increase Temer's popularity and Cunha's successor is not only his ally, but also investigated for corruption. If they had reason to kick him out at this point, they also had it before doing the impeachment votes.

Yeah, it seems like PMDB is using Cunha as a scapegoat to protect the rest of chamber from public pressure and scrutiny. Cunha still has a lot of influence, so if that is true I am looking forward to seeing those fucks tearing each other's eyes out.

I mean, if you are going to suspend his mandate because he is using it to block investigations against him, the timing would have been better if they did it 5 months ago, when this was requested, and not now, when the impeachment process has already moved through the lower house. Don't get me wrong, it is a good start, but it feels a little "too little, too late" for me.

To keep the pattern going, turns out that Movimento Brasil Livre, one of the movements dedicated to ousting Dilma, is led by incredibly corrupt people: http://noticias.uol.com.br/politica...-44-milhoes.htm Essentially the leader will create companies, suck them dry, and then not pay workers and suppliers. And he sets it up that though he loses all the lawsuits related to it, since he liquidates all the companies there are no assets left to pay what is owed.

Won't this only trigger another vote though? And the votes will be all the same? So we're just postponing stuff that will happen anyway, and looking even worse while doing it.

The impeachment process is in the senate, so it is unclear if it can be stopped like that. This will likely fall to the STF to decide whether it can be annulled. If it is annulled, whether the votes will be the same is in question. I wouldn't doubt that this was all set up by Cunha to save himself, which would mean that what would decide it all going forward is who can offer him more.

 People are already speculating this is Cunha getting back at Temer for being kicked out of office, nobody is too sure though because this was just so loving sudden and unannounced.

At this point, I'm half expecting Temer to appoint an openly trans person to the ministry of Defense and to declare Shia islam the national religion. might as well make sure that ALL institutions of the country are convulsing together. I doubt this latest gambit will amount to much, but it's darkly amusing to see that if the media/political elite thinks it can just empower, use and discard the petty small fry of congress to get its way, it will not be able to do so cleanly or neatly. I'm as to the left as it gets, but at this point even I am in favor of the government throwing in the towel and making some sort of stabilizing . But who on the other side would even take a deal? They want the whole cake, yesterday. Can't offer to have Lula not run in 2018 because they are already working on making him unable to run on the side. Can't offer ministerial/cabinet positions because they're close to getting them all.

So, the interim president of congress just anuuled his own annulation of the impeachment process in the political 3d chess they're playing around in that loving palace this move must make sense somehow, the alternative being that the guy is just sincerely dumb.

Temer's cabinet is looking to be the worst collection of vultures I've ever seen. Love or hate them, pretty much all presidents since Collor would appoint at least some technocrats for key positions. They might have used a large number of positions as bargaining chips to get congressional support, but at least some of them would be career technocrats or academics. Meanwhile, not only are Temer's invites so far to purely political figures, but they are terrible ones.

PMDB's official twitter photoshopped Temer's smile today. His government will probably be like a worse version of Dilma's government, it's basically the same grand alliance of parties subtracting PT and adding some PSDB into the mix that's gonna take ministerial positions, but his stability is gonna depend on whether the vestigial anti-PT sentiment can glue all of this together for the next 2 years.
