Standard & Poor's has downgraded its credit rating for Turkey deeper into "junk" status, citing the failed coup and political turmoil.

Turkish Rugs - 75% off? ;)

Didn’t Laz just post that 0bama still has another 184 days to go? I’ll bet he can get America’s credit rating down to BB/B in that time!

*SPIT*

Thinking of this coup, to put it in perspective, if Trump as President does the same thing, we save the country.

1. Get rid of all the lefty teachers.
2. Get rid of all the lefty generals.
3. Get rid of all the corrupt Kleptocrats.
4. Get rid of all the lefty government workers.

Sounds like a plan.
