Lots of things going on, not sure what to link. Apparently the military is attempting a coup in Turkey while Erdogan is on holiday

Turkish PM Binali Yildirim said to #NTV his government will resist and those who try to overthrow the government will pay for it.

Yes, I had turkey in my "which country will have a military coup" pool......seriously, it must be difficult for people with family in turkey.

Thank goodness if true. Erdogen is a mad dog with delusions of rebuilding the Ottoman Empire. He's brought ruin and despair to neighboring Syria for the last 5 years, hes approved of countless massacres of Kurds, and has been an integral part in the rise of ISIS.

Good riddance. I hope to see him in chains in the Hague.
