Erogan has given himself powers outside of the constitution limits of Turkey, so he brought this on himself. Though I did like his big FU to Russia in shooting down their jet fighter. Hope whatever government comes out of this is pro west.

A military bound only to serve the founding principles of the country, not the leader of said country 
Sounds like something I can get behind.
Democracy sucks. TS. Erogan and his anti-free speech chummy chummy winking towards islamism can go get pumped multiple times. Hope you like the poetry in Germany, bub

Pence is the perceived dog handler. He's the balance, he's the yin, he's the liaison to the establishment. But, you are correct.
Hannity had a Democrat on his radio show. First democrat who I've ever heard speak honestly.
He's rattled. He said the only chance hillary has is to demand Obama declares war on ISIS.
Also said a few days ago, the one person he DIDN'T want trump to pick was Pence.
Forgot his name, but hope someone else knows. The dems are shaking and apparently had an emergency meeting with hillary in the last few days.
Even the left leaning polls show either a tie or trump lead.

Obama urging support for an islamic dictatorship. Shocking.
Mistake. We should shut up and support the winner that emerges. Turkey is critical in our ability to project power in that entire region. Hell, we have nukes there.

We have to stand by the democratically elected government of North Korea. That guy got 99% of the vote, for Pete's sake!
Honestly, I doubt it was hard for Obama to support Erdogan.
As i posted months ago - with isis, we have to cut off their cash flow at all costs. The us is no longer willing to do what it takes to make that happen. So we should pull out of the middle easy entirely; until that mentality changes.
I feel like his top choices weren't receptive to the offer. So Pence may well have been the best of what was left

And thus the reason the mightiest power in the world since WWII has not been able to win a major conflict since 1945.
Well, Iraq was a mistake (even though WMD's were more than likely moved into Syria) but Obama's withdrawal is directly the reason for Isis. A complete withdrawal did that.
I 100% agree on how to fight terrorism. I've claimed many times the only way to do it is to decimate any regions aiding or operating for Isis. Leave 200 years of rubble and allow whatever people are left the option to rebuild over the next century while their children watch and maybe a clear message will be sent. If not, do it again, and maybe in the 100 years after that they'll grow a brain.
Eventually they'll get tired of us coming in, killing them, taking their oil, and rebuilding. It's the only way.
Nope. Both Newt and Christie lobbied HARD for the job. Hard. And they took it hard when they didn't get the job... especially Christie as he was the first legit guy to publicly back Trump and has been by his side every step of the way. Trump does not like disloyalty and it was very hard for him not to pick Christie.
My pick Newt apparently finished 3rd.
You mean Newt who has already left Fox News to begin work on Trumps campaign or Christie who acts like a 13 year old school girl who just met Justin Bieber every time Trump comes close lol?
With the US publicly backing the democratically elected government of Turkey that would have signaled much of their military to pack it in. We may have snuffed that coup out by announcing that support which I think was way too premature. As another poster pointed out, this will push them more towards Islam and Erdogan will crush the military now.
The coup is likely to fail. Go ahead and kiss Turkey goodbye.
Twitter reaction from the mainstream, uninformed, college educated nominal progressives is that DEMOCRACY WINS!! Protesters are always right and the military sucks. Remember, these are the people claiming they know better than everyone else

Sorta like that tragic hit and run accident in Nice?
My immediate response was to say: highly doubtful obummer put any fear in them.
But then I thought about it, this is the exact type of thing he would deploy troops for. If the coup succeeds, Islam and isis lose power. Barrack ain't having that ish
Yeah the other 350+ people he hit were just in the way of him fleeing his original accident.
Good Lord that is stupid if somebody thinks this means democracy wins. Poor fools. The military directly was rising up against Erdogan's power grab.
Yep. The Grenada Police Department learned quickly that you don't mess with the USA.
Would love to go back to the good old days when spreading democracy meant killing muslim dictators, not supporting muslim power grabs.
The video of the Nice attack on LiveLeak is some hard stuff to watch. That was brutal.
it's beginning to feel like the left's "NeverHillary" is far more resilient than the right's "NeverTrump" despite Bernie's weak endorsement.
The senator from Vermont really might've out Nader'ed Nader this year. He's done far more damage to Hillary's brand than all those kangaroo courts in the House ever did.

California is so messed up. Now elementary school kids get LGBTQ lessons implemented into the curriculum. They get to teach 2nd graders about two mommy's and two daddy's and the pioneer Harvey Milk.
“Certainly some families will be concerned about their second-graders learning about two-mom families, but I think parents would be much more alarmed if they knew that LGBT History Month, in the last few years, has promoted the notion that ‘America the Beautiful’ is a source of lesbian pride,” McReynolds said.
Hey guys, they just want to be left alone and be like everyone else. It doesn't affect you or your kids.
