Perú President Pedro Castillo attempted to dissolve Congress, which in turn impeached him. Unlike with Fujimori in 1992, this time the Police and the Armed Forces did not back the presidency, and promptly arrested him as he sought to flee to Mexico.

No need to rewrite the constitution in the U.S. for the country to turn socialist/communist.
Democrats have been enacting policies and laws which are downright communist, but, seems like everybody in power is not noticing or not caring. We could turn full-blown communist, and still have the same constitution, but, democrats keep pointing to the constitution as their defense for all they do. They call if 'democracy', while republicans don't want to be accused of being undemocratic and go along with democrats.

The scourge of socialism is wreaking havoc throughout South America.
Peru is to be applauded for taking brave steps to end the insanity.

If they actually cared about us, they would arrest that miscreant Gyorgy Soros for treason, confiscate his wealth and hang him for his crimes.

I wish you were right, but I don’t think Brandon has a thing to worry about. No matter what the next House discovers on him, if they investigate him at all, the Senate won’t even bother to hold a real trial, let alone convict and remove him from office. “Nano-nano, I don’t know” notwithstanding.

Maybe, but as an illegitimate usurper who keeps on shouting down his own conscience, or what’s left of it, with fake righteous indignation, he’s probably getting nervous. Liberty or Death protestors in China are most likely giving him the heebee jeebees, too. Uneasy lies the head that stole a crown.
