Let's not use Erdogan as an example to emulate please...clear noble principles are required. For example, we could look to history for the appropriate legal instrument of cleansing....

Erdogan? The Islamic dictator who is currently killing our Kurdish allies in Syria and Iraq? Erdogan, the man who sheltered ISIS during its genocidal rampage and now welcomes them into his army? Erdogan, the wanna-be king of the new Byzantine empire during the Islamic apocalypse? Erdogan, the dog who has spit on the progress of the only modern Islamic country? The man who has repudiated Atatürk’s efforts to drag Turkey out of the dark ages and instead, steers it toward Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism? That Erdogan? Tyrant, terrorist, and thief?

By the way, those were the good guys he “drained.” They were the one trying to keep Turkey from turning into a sh!th0le country. Blanket arrests and murders are what dictators and terrorists do.
I’ll take Trump any day...
