Holy crap!

I take a nap because I'm sick, and wake up to ... this!

Currently, the coup status is "under way", not yet successful. Of course, coup leaders (junior members of the military, supposedly) will fight to their finish because if they don't win their lives are already forfeit.

I think it's time you disabused yourself of that pleasant little fairy tale about our fearless leaders being some sort of surrogate daddy or mommy, laying awake at night thinking about how to protect the kids. HA! In reality, they're thinking about who to sell them to so that they can get a few more shekels in their pockets.

CBSN is covering it live for one. I am sure it is up and running on CNN as well.

Latest coverage is that Erdogan has requested civilians who support him go out on the street. IF true that is the last gasp of a dying government.

It's true, I watched the news feed. He was using his phone or computer to contact a private news agency which aired the conversation. State TV has been shut down, after the military stated its demands on air.

And Erdogan would request asylum from .... Germany?

Hard to say, really, he's pissed off a lot of world leaders!

It looks like it is falling apart. I think it is failing.
