Here’s something to worry about...More refugees coming out of Turkey.
Is this not the best “Rage Day” ever?
That too.
Plus, there will be economic consequences.

Stick to baseball, fool NOOB!
It may be the end of our country if the military doesn't!
They are our last hope.
Even if Omugabe has made a heroic effort to replace all the experienced, patriotic military leaders in all the armed forces. That would be a far less bloody process than CW2!

I’m certain the London Mayor would roll out the red carpet for him.
“Oh Boy, is this great!!!” :)
And wife is home from Manhattan already so I dont care what those animals do now.
(Not you mountainman) Dont bother sending any BS responses about what a racist I am. BLM is a terrorist organization and they are animals, the white and black members.
Freedom loving, clear thinking blacks and whites will not be in attendance.

Nothing like what Turkey is experiencing. Only to remove the Muslim president who no one has the balls to impeach due to PC.

About time. This guy has been a disaster for Turkey.
Bump to that!
Last year Erdogan gave political refuge to the exiled Muslim Brotherhood leaders from Egypt and Qatar. He has jailed moderate and secular opposition, shut down the free press, arrested those who have reported negatively on his administration, and several reports have strong evidence he has ordered the assassination of journalists.
There is good reason to believe the secular, and more Western, entities within the country are quite simply fed up with the increased -more radical- Islamization of Turkey.
A similar coup detat took place in Egypt (2013) when Egyptian General Fattah el-Sisi was pushed to take over from the extreme Muslim Brotherhood Islamist Mohammed Morsi. Could Turkey be undergoing a similar ideological change?
Remember, President Obama is BFFs with Recep Erdogan. When Erdogan was isolated from much of the Western world, due to his extremist opinions, it was President Obama who rose to defend Erdogan.
If you really want a coup, move to Zimbabwe or someplace where they actually have them. Good freaking luck, you absolute tool.
The BLM bunch are going to be really angry when their Rage Day
is ignored, due to breaking news in France and Turkey.
