Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has reportedly fled the country in a private jet following a military coup.

In the last few hours gunfire has been heard in the Turkish capital Ankara as military jets and helicopters were seen flying overhead.

In Istanbul, the Bosphorus Bridge and Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge have been closed, along with Attaturk airport where tanks and soldiers have been seen.

Ataturkism is precisely the answer for turkey.

> Asinine. And who would you have the US Military coup install as our leader? Would they just carry on as normal, or would they rule by decree?

Are you suggesting they should leave Obama in office when he has ver obviously tried to sidestep the Constitutions and remove it's protections? Look at what he's already accomplished that is harmful to our nation in just the last year. Trump would at least take the reigns and turn away the faux refugees and take steps to slow the flow of Muslim terrorists from entering through our porous borders. This is all hypothetical venting anyway. The obvious answer is = anyone but Obama

Believe me, Obama is going to be very upset by this.

Obama and Erdogan are two peas in a pod, - they think alike, and they like and admire each other. And both pretend to go after ISIS while not really doing it. - Erdogan gets illegal oil from ISIS and really supports them.

Erdogan has gotten rid of or jailed military higher ups (generals, etc.) many of whom were Western trained (primarily in the U.S.) and are Western oriented. - Erdogan has fired/ replaced them with his own flunkies who are much more oriented to the Muzzie/sharia law religious philosophy.

In the U.S., Obama has done the same thing, - replacing our military higher ups (or outright firing them) - with his own flunkies, and those who will enforce his secularist/diversity oriented philosophy in the Armed Forces.

Obama has to go ASAP;

he is our version of a dictator,

accomplished through Executive Orders,

a subservient SCOTUS,

rules and regulations by Department edicts (such as the EPA),

and Courts throughout the land that have been packed with liberal judges,

along with the acquiescence of the corrupt MSM.

Oh, and his own Dem party, equally corrupt as Obama and without any moral fiber or true love of country.

Trump MUST win in November. Glad the Never Trumpers got nowhere at the Pub convention, as they too are working against our country’s interests in such dangerous times.

Thank you, flaglady47. Excellent post.

Ertugun is now saying that birth control should be banned and women should have four children—the better to build up a large army.

A day without a woman protest. Every first Saturday of every month women would stay home. This would be a very powerful statement—a silent protest since Merkle is censoring the internet. Imagine going to the stores, restaurants and movies without any women?
