Those unfortunate enough to have lived under Carter,
and those just now finding out.”

Told this to a few seniors at dinner tonight. Much laughter ensued.

“A monster.” Says a despotic dave. Tell that to the Poles, or the (former) East Germans, or to the Ukranians, or the Checs or the Serbs…

The difference is obvious in my view. In the Hondouras, the court had ruled that the referendum was not to take place but the former president was intending to go ahead with the referendum that would give him President for life status. The army acted on the orders of the court. This is not a coup situation.

In Iran there was a higher than expected voter turnout. These voters in fact voted for opposition parties – Mousavi and Kharoubi – once the election results were in, the “government” moved to ensure that the incumbent President remained in the role. This was contemplated before the day of the election. There had already been warnings about a velvet revolution and they had secretly brought in people from Lebanon, Syria and Gaza to be members of the basij. The people on the streets reported the Arabic speakers and they were reported as detaining some of them as well. In this case there has been a coup d’etat and the people went into the streets to protest that coup. They consider the regime to be illegal and illegitimate.

There is action that could be taken including a blockade of trading with Iran, but the incumbent in the White House refuses to do anything of value, including making a strong statement of condemnation – that finally came after his meeting with Angela Merkal (did she shame him on the matter?).

The question you need to ask is: can it happen “here”? Can someone seize control of the govt in the USA by staging a coup?…..

It doesn’t matter how you complete the sentence. Elitists insist that they must have the socialistic, dictatorial control of the populace to save the stupid majority from their own stupidity.

Remember that fact every time a distended Dave shows up to enlighten us.

Why does a disingenuous Dave bother casting his pearls before swine? He must be addicted to the smells and sounds of the sty.

and the right wing still has nothing to offer but bitch bitch bitch.

There’s a 3rd type 2Brixshy – those who lived under Carter and then watched a monster get elected because the people were too stupid to see through the bad acting.

Those unfortunate enough to have lived under Carter,
and those just now finding out.

How 51% of the populace (I’ll give acorn credit for 1% fraud) thought this grinning jugeared dope could run our country is a mystery that will never be solved.

But now begins the slow realization that this fraudulent idiot didn’t have the resume to run the frozen custard or hamburger stands he keeps running off to, let alone run the largest most complex country in the history of the World.

Have a nice ride to the basement, buckstick and nano. Your clown is going down.

As I say, rest, restoration and renewal. The poor boy can’t perform on demand.

Instead of your usual low-grade snark, please list Obama’s accomplishments to date. I breathlessly await.

The president called randomly on three audience members. All turned out to be members of groups with close ties to his administration: the Service Employees International Union, Health Care for America Now, and Organizing for America, which is a part of the Democratic National Committee. White House officials said that was a coincidence.

Randomly? What luck! If I had that kind of luck, I’d play the lottery.
