Impeachment has 2 goals: 1) steal power from PT; 2) trick public into believing corruption now solved, to protect actually corrupt figures.
This has been, and continues to be, the central fact of Brazil's impeachment battle http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/brazils-lower-house-begins-debate-on-rousseff-impeachment/article29642515/ …pic.twitter.com/xLhWEREyvi

@ggreenwald still, no matter how true, everything's being done w/in Brazil's democratically voted parliament. This isn't a coup -
@willcarless So what? That's a semantic debate: there are a lot of ways to cripple democracy besides a formal "coup." -
@ggreenwald I agree it's "unfair," but there's nothing "undemocratic" about it -- pretty much the opposite -
@willcarless So if GOP in Congress impeached Obama and Biden tomorrow, & Paul Ryan went to WH, you'd say it was a vindication of democracy? -
@ggreenwald not a vindication, but it would be an element of democracy functioning -
@willcarless I disagree that GOP impeaching Obama & Biden and installing Paul Ryan as President would show a functioning democracy. - Show more

@ggreenwald were you paid by the PT to say such falacy? have you read the brazilian constitution to say the process is doubtful? -
@Brazilian_Notch I didn't write that article, idiot. Feel free to ask the person who did - along w/her editors - if she's being paid by PT.

@ggreenwald hate/distrust the system/players, but this is all being done inside a democratic framework designed w this in mind -
@willcarless@ggreenwald There is no legal basis for impeachment. They're trampling all over the Constitution. It's an institutional coup. - Show more
