Over the past few weeks, I\u2019ve seen dozens of people share articles about Brazil\u2019s new Lebanese president. First off, let\u2019s clarify that the man is Brazilian of Lebanese descent<\/b>, and not Lebanese. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Secondly, I\u2019m happy to report that he stayed true to his bloodline because the man is as corrupt as they come. Local Lebanese politicians would be so proud, they can only dream<\/i> about ripping off countries as large as Brazil.<\/p>\n

President Michel Temer routinely violated campaigning laws<\/a>, is deeply involved in the nation\u2019s largest oil company corruption scandal<\/a>, and even has an impeachment request filed against him<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The list goes on to other claims of him distributing bribes in order to secure oil deals and a pesky $1.5 million in funds he received from a construction company in exchange for contracts. <\/p>\n

To our friends and extended family over in Brazil, we have one piece of advice for you: whatever you do, don\u2019t let his son take over too. <\/big><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
