Things Smackie Thinks You Need to Know...

[Julian, Forum COGNOSCENTI]

Where is the intersection on the great Venn diagram of Julian's America and Things Smackie Thinks You Need to Know? It's right damn here.

Absolutely.  I don't care if she's wrong, naive, whatever.  She posted it in a bathing suit!

If I was following her, which I can't believe I wasn't before now, I wouldn't even have read what she wrote....

She's also not disheartened enough by this turn of events that she's bemoaning to actually put down her wine or get off her boat. Instant Julian's America Mt. Rushmore status.

Coup in Turkey.  This has been a long time coming for Erdogan.

This gets worse before it gets better.

Erdogan is reported on a plane outside of Turkish airspace and not "captured." Going to be interesting to see if Germany lets him land and who acknowledges which government when.

If he is outside of the country, then it's over already.

obviously we'll have to watch Turkey carefully.....I dont' think we know enough.. I don't know enough to say much...

Former State Department Undersecretary Nicholas Burns is someone I listen to carefully.... he really should be the next Secretary of State...but of course career State Department officials are often bypassed in favor of politicians...

Gotta have the brass.

nice...very similar code to the "atomic-blocker."

Yep, premature. I thought he fled as opposed to being on vacation and that the top leaders of the Military were orchestrating it.

That was a poor coup attempt, even by Turkish standards.

I think social media changed things... when the president went on facetime or whatever on facebook and asked people to take to the airport and i don't remember what else (TV channel?) and he basically said he was still the president... man that's just a whole new thing.. in the old days you would see the tanks in the street and be like "oh well, guess its a done deal"... and you'd think the president might be dead or something...
