We’re they able to reach Obozo on the golf course?? He might be incommunicado, off in a private grove of trees with Reggie.

It’s breathtaking, isn’t it?

We’re left with no time to think or ponder before the next thing happens.

I got the Impression that Erdogan is “In Country” but nowhere near the Capitol.

Is that GIF of Obama kicking the door for real????

If so, WOW. How childish. How unpresidential.

Turkey's TRT network says a new constitution is to be prepared as soon as possible

Now that's confusing.

If the military has taken control of the country to oust a civilian government that was violating the constitution, why would a new constitution be necessary? And why is Erdogan planning to address the country?

It’s a humorous internet meme which has been floating around for awhile.

Where is your evidence that Brennan is Muslim?
I think he was stationed in Saudis Arabia twice. Being in Saudi Arabia does not equate to being a Muslim. If that was so then a lot of service men & oil workers would be automatic Muslims too!

False flag coup? Consolidation of power? Blueprint for Bozo?

The current constitution impaired the ability of the military to carry out its historic duty of safeguarding a secular state. Hopefully the new one would revert back to the previous versions.

Very good question.

Maybe to outlaw certain sects of Islam?

“No tens of thousands of our troops will be needed to go into the ME again.”

ESPECIALLY if our energy industry is unleashed and makes the ME insignificant as a supplier of oil that is any of our concern for decades to come.

It is possible.
