With things like Trump to send 'surge' of hundred of federal agents to cities happening in the USA, I wonder how long before you have another civil war at your hands. I know they're taking down Antifa and other crap who will plunder and destroy whatever comes their way, or as the BBC calls it civil disorder. But besides Antifa and the Marxist BLM organization, there's also more peaceful demonstrators out there.

So, and let's keep it civil in here as well, what do you think?

Did the other attempts stay civil?

I don't think any of the mayors has the balls but, have your police force dress in BLM tees and do a nice quiet exercise run around the feds and expose King Donald for what he is.

Lots of the things he has been attacked for are his falsehoods many of which require a much lower level of skill than I have to check out. Limbaugh conveniently ignores that as indeed it seems do most Trump supporters. The one thing Trump was honest about is that he didn't care about those who didn't support him.

The pied piper of Limbaugh making music.

Goodnight Myanmar (Burma)

There went the quasi democracy of Myanmar (Burma). Not a big surprise though.
Internet, phones, and TV, is down of course.

After her tacit approval of human rights abuses I don't have much sympathy for her as a person but do worry about those from less privileged backgrounds.

All authority has been given to the top army commander and a one-year state of emergency has been declared, a statement on military TV said.

As if the military has ever given all authority out of their hands in the past years of 'democracy'. If you believe that, then North Korea is also a democratic state, sure.

The military according to the constitution they themselves wrote, held 25% of the seats in the parliament. No matter what any election would say.
That in itself makes this coup even more strange. Other than that they didn't like the outcome of the election of course :-)
(hmm who else in recent times, didn't like the outcome of an election, and tried, but failed, to stage a coup??)

And yes her tacit approval of the human rights abuses, especially the Rohingya genocide, does not give her any sympathy from me either.

I can't quite get my head around what the coup is supposed to achieve either. If it hadn't been for the Rohingya genocide, it would make a lot more sense.

The result is in. Jury nullification.

Our Ministers of the Exterior and Defense got a Motion of Censure today over how the Afghanistan evacuation was done (really really really really really badly, some Dutchmen are still in Afg with no place to go). The Minister of Defense decided to ignore the motion and stayed on. The Minister of the Exteriro took her leave. But only from the cabinet! She stays on as Member of Parliament and as the leader of the second largest political party, and so she can still continue trying to form a new government (we had elections back in March, our outgoing cabinet has no hurry to go away and/or form a new cabinet) and come back as a Minister or the Vice MP. Really. Yep. Our democracy is so broken.

And so the outgoing cabinet - which fired itself over the child allowance scandal - has just decided after 6 months of talking who was going to be in the new cabinet, that they are the best choice for the new cabinet. Welcome to the banana republic Netherlands.

Wasn't the Johnson going to get a new cabinet from Ikea?

He's probably still looking for the Allen key.

Or, there's a few nuts too many ;-)

I thought it was because there were too many screws loose. :-)

Screws? Nuts?
I thought we were using nails.

You hold the nails & I'll use the hammer. :-)
However, doubt very much if any difference gets noticed.
