In a session of the Senate in Brasilia now around 20 hours long, senators have been making speeches ahead of a vote that will decide whether President Dilma Rousseff will be suspended from her role.
Brazil’s president looks poised to be suspended from office after most senators said they would back moves to impeach her. Of the 66 senators who have so far made speeches, 45 say they will back impeachment, 20 will oppose it, and one – former president Fernando Collor, who himself faced impeachment proceedings in 1992 – did not reveal his intention. Some 71 of the total 81 senators have indicated they intend to make a speech before voting can start. It’s estimated that the formal vote will be held around 7am local time (6am EDT/11am BST/8pm AEST). If the formal vote follows what senators have indicated, it will be well above the simple majority of 41 required to suspend Rousseff from the presidency for 180 days while congress decides whether she should be permanently removed. The vice-president, Michel Temer, who is expected to step into Rousseff’s role on Thursday, has begun to assemble his ministry, with the current president’s aides indicating she will dismiss her own ministers and tell them not to help the transition. Rousseff is due to make a public speech at 10am local time on Thursday. Scuffles have taken place outside the government buildings in Brasilia, where police have used teargas against pro-Rousseff demonstrators. I’m now handing over the live blog to my colleague Nadia Khomami in London, who’ll continue to bring you updates through the official vote and beyond. Thanks for reading.

William Brown
The direct result of electing a womyn
Jose Bailey
Presidential elections only in 2018, for now the vice-president is the president.
Leo Williams
>breaking obscure budget regulations that probably every politician violates
It sounds like they´re desperate to coup her out as soon as possible, no concern for the system that elected her Are there a lot of Brazilians that are openly anti-democracy?
Noah Green
>be 1st woman president >get impeached Ayy who would've guessed.
Gabriel Davis
Its tits or gtfo, no one is above the law
Logan Parker
Here comes the bullshit. The federal government is one of the few that have ownership of public banks. Most states don't, and even those states that do have their own banks they could irregularly get credit from haven't, as far as we know.
Caleb Clark

Adrian Johnson
Shes a leftist Commie. Literally was a terrorist Commie guerella in her youth.
Austin Morales
>coup
Why does every leftist shill keep on calling this a coup? There's no reason to keep her around just for the sake of it. There's nothing anti-democratic about getting rid of someone that's corrupt, especially since the impeachment was done by the way it was outlined in the constitution.
William Russell
Visual aid
Jose Robinson
Amen!
The commies are just butthurt that they lost their payday!
Xavier Miller
>55 votos
Pouquíssimo. São 54 necessários pro impeachment. Tão cantando muita vitória antes da hora e podem quebrar a cara. Só comprar 2 desses daí e já era.
John Cook
qt
Jack Roberts
speak English ffs
Asher Gomez
sauce on this based waifu
Henry Cook
>speak English ffs
>55 votes
Too little. 54 votes are needed to impeach her. People are singing victory way ahead of its time and they may get disappointed. If they buy just two senators, it's over.
Owen Rodriguez
Temer about to get possession
Levi Butler
i give no shits about your votes you are speaking on a english website speak english or gtfo to Sup Forums
Jackson Martinez
feliz dia do golpe
Aiden Rogers

Owen Stewart
Are people celebrating with bonfires in Av. Paulista?
kek
Henry Roberts
Neither Germany, Muhammed.
Juan Thomas
Not sure what this meme is. I know that in Spanish a "golpe de estado" is a coup. I assume the red bandanna faggot is supposed to be a Roussef supporter?
Noah Thompson
I think the picture was taken when fireworks were being set off.
Jaxon Lopez
Yeah
Landon Jackson
Neither is germany
Justin Carter
Dilma supporters call her impeachment a coup
Henry Martinez
At least it's somewhat democratic unlike the occupation government of Germany.
Logan White
Ok, so they're crying about the "coup" that's going to impeach Roussef.
Sebastian Anderson
Please give me memeinho (mee-mihn-HOE)
Julian Scott
Ok, so, here is the next step:
>Lava-Jato operation will probably send Lula to jail as a preventive action. >LJ will continue to investigate president Dilma, and she will probably be Impeached and go to the jail. >Lula has already lost his protection as a minister, he is open to be investigated on LJ. I expect that he will go to the jail by the end of october. >Michel Temer, our new president, is already involved in LJ, so he will probably be Impeached too. >Our economy will start to recover, if PMDB (the party that is assuming now) start their economy recovery policies. >More people will go to jail. >Bolsonaro (a brazilian Trump) will be our next president in 2018. >We are still fighting, there are too many corrupts.
Dilma's removal means that Police invastigation will continue smoothly. It is far from over.
Christian Jackson
Yeah because they're losing their gibsmedats
Ethan Cook
>Olympics start in a few months
Over/Under number of tourists that get killed by Dilma voters: 100
