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.

He tried to establish a friendly Congress to rewrite the country's constitution in the communist mold.

Brazil, Pakistan, Peru... next up the US?

[Sicon]

Too bad we don’t have a Congress like that.

[for-q-clinton]

Trying to do what Chile did...get a new constitution. Nice to see Peru stand up against it.

[Nextrush]

They took Castillo to a police station.

I’ll guess I’ll just vacation in the Tri-border Area in South America instead...

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 one in Austria, Slovenia and Italy is safer. And better skiing...

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.

[EEGator]

True.

I actually plan to go to Zermatt SUI in a year or two.
Assuming we are still free and not in a global depression…

Getting nervous, Brandon.

Getting nervous, Brandon.

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.

BUILD THE DAMNED WALL !

[Eleutheria5]

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.

...next up the US?

No. No matter how many people want that to occur.

Well, I hear the whistle but I can't go
I'm gonna take her down to Mexico
She said, whoa no
Guadalajara won't do.

And I'm never going back
To my old school

I used to think there was no where else to relocate to...2 countries in SA are options now
