Brazil's ex-President Dilma Rousseff has been impeached:
"I don't have political plans for office, but I do have political plans. I'm going to oppose this government," Rouseff told the foreign media Friday, two days after she was impeached by a Senate vote for breaking budget responsibility rules. The 68-year-old leftist leader said although she has been given 30 days to vacate the presidential palace, she will move back to her southern hometown of Porto Alegre next week.
Rousseff also had sharp words for Michel Temer, who was her vice president before taking over as interim president when she was initially suspended from office in May. She warned Temer against straying from the platform the two ran on in 2010 and 2014, adding that if he does, the public would see his government as illegitimate. She also vowed to speak up if his administration tried to crackdown on protests. The pair were initially allies, but Rousseff now accuses him of leading a "coup" in having her impeached.

She had her faults, but she had not gained a cent for herself. Unlike those against her, accused of robbing millions.

That other submission was "accepted" [soylentnews.org]
...except that if you click Link to Story [soylentnews.org] you get nothing.
WTF??
This removal of (Progressive) Rouseff was a coup by the oligarchs of Brazil.
You can expect Brazil's economy to do even worse in the coming months and years.
Fascism is spreading worldwide.
I am expecting a repeat of of the 1930s (to include another World War--with nukes this time.)

Multiple subs on the same topic get accepted all the time.

4. Any additional details from story 2 get added to story 1
What I'm saying is that that did not happen in this case.
What made it to the front page is the Oligarch's Reactionary version of the story.
(My submission contained a link to previous stories here where the charges brought have repeatedly been shown to be bogus--simply a case of bought-and-paid-for politicians.)
I don't want this place to become like Lamestream Media, only giving the 1 Percenters' version of the story.
...and it is my submission that was Story 1 (multiple days prior to the one that made the front page).

I like it when the editors link to "Original Submission #1", "Original Submission #2" and so on.

That happens as part of a merge in the submission queue. Iif it happens after one of the stories has been accepted, it is a manual process, and depending on time constraints, may not happen.
