So is there any good place I can find information about Honduras. I really want to know what are the chances of the place ever turning itself around from the self inflicted wounds it has made on itself.

What are the chances of a coup? Being that my knowledge of Brazil is pretty sparse I hope to God that this doesn't send Latin America back into the dark ages,

joepinetree posted:Things in Brazil are getting bizarre. Aecio has decided that the opposition should go for the impeachment, and PT's treasurer has been arrested, and some in the opposition are calling for the banning of PT. Now, the reason why this is bizarre is not because PT is innocent. But because, once again, all the evidence against Dilma and the PT comes from the depositions of people who named Aecio and PSDB in the exact same schemes. How is it constitutional to do that? Also who in their right mind would want to ban a relatively complacent and imploding left wing party, that sounds like a great way to embolden the supporters of said opposition and also make them less supportive of gradual solutions.

joepinetree posted:The same way that PT's people involved in the mensalao were put in jail, but the people from PSDB who had a similar scheme still have not been tried: friendly judges and a willingness to exploit every single loophole without being called on it. So, for example, the PSDB mensalao happened before the PT mensalao. The PT mensalao has been tried and people went to jail. The PSDB one hasn't. Brazil has a law that establishes that elected officials have to be tried at higher level courts. So what PSDB did was that they exhausted all appeals at these higher federal level courts, and the second they lost all of them and the trial was about to start, the involved resigned their elected positions. And so the judge decided that they could no longer be tried at the higher level courts, so it all started from scratch at the state level courts, where Aecio was governor and helped stall it. Soon the statute of limitations will run out. So you end with situations like that of Marcos Valerio. Marcos Valerio was involved in the money laundering of both the PT and PSDB schemes. He was tried and is in jail because of the PT scheme, but hasn't been tried yet on the PSDB scheme (even though the PSDB scheme preceeded the PT one). Oh I understand evil politicking, I don't understand politicking that just invites backlash and generally bites you in the rear end, like banning another political party.

joepinetree posted:The goal here is less actually dismantling PT and more to keep the "PT is a criminal organization that should be terminated" narrative going. How is that going to work when there are other left wing parties for people to go to? Do you ban them as well? Well I do not doubt that there are a large number of sub humans who should be in prison camps in the Brazilian upper classes who really do think that the generals era was a wonderful time, I cannot believe that most really think that banning the entire left would actually help their long term bottom line. Hell this would probably lead to left wing governments in other parts of South America deciding that they couldn't risk being couped and decapitating their opposition.

rockopete posted:The Catholic Church didn't mind working with the Mormons to get Prop 8 passed in California. Any chance it might be similar with evangelicals in Chile, a common enemy in godless socialism? Or are the perceived differences too great? I've heard alot of the evangelicals being in the middle class, maybe the fact that the RCC tries to be communal is why so man are turning to souless evangelicalism. Evangelicals very much are about being "spiritual in a individual sense". And while extolling "personal responsibility" really have no real patience for ideas like greater responsibility for the whole. So they turn to what tells them its all about them.

joepinetree posted:Besides the whole "stopping lava jato," bit, today we had a good reminder of the real reason Temer is now president. Today the new government announced a proposal for a constitutional amendment that would permanently set a public spending maximum. Going forward, public spending would only be allowed to increase by the inflation rate. The proportion to be spent in healthcare and education would also be specifically linked to these increases. The only type of public spending that would not be tied to inflation going forward is interest rate repayments. Note that we are not talking about spending for next year or during the crisis, but of a constitutional amendment. That literally would gently caress Brazil come any major downturn.
