Turkish president’s bodyguards batter Washington DC protesters leaving them covered in blood while leader meets Trump at the White House

This is ridiculous. These fucks attacked American citizens on American soil. This kind of shit used to be considered an act of war.

Apparently the title of the article was too long lol

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I'm anti-protestor (but I am pro-riot), so...don't really care.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Are diplomat's houses considered foreign soil, like an Embassy?

I doubt it. Regardless, protesting is legal in the US and his security can't assault them for simply being there.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

They may also have diplomatic immunity.

 

[Nikolokolus]

They may also have diplomatic immunity.

And countries have the right to expel people with diplomatic immunity back to their country of origin . . . but that isn't likely to happen here.

According to witnesses, a brawl erupted when Erdoğan’s security detail attacked protesters carrying the flag of the Kurdish PYD party outside the residence. A local NBC television affiliate reported Erdoğan was inside the building at the time.

Trump and Turkey's president show strained unity at White House meeting

 

[Denny Crane]

I have no idea why we don't recognize the Kurds and let them have their own country.

This Erdogan guy is not a good guy.

Did they assume that person's gender?

If it's not on Infowars it didn't happen.

 

[Natebishop3]

Damn... first Denny throws his support behind Trump, and now Erdogan? Who's next Denny? You a big fan of Kim Jong Un? Did Saddam make your list of awesome "elected" rulers?

It's actually hilarious if you read through the thread because it's obvious that Denny's first knee-jerk reaction was to attack the news source. He's been getting a lot of practice with that lately.

And then he realized that it wasn't about Trump and decided to start accepting that it was true. The Guardian is okay if it's talking about Erdogan..... but would it be considered real news if it was talking about Trump?

All of them would make great mods.

They'd PNG some of ours for some made-up reason and there would be a state dept tiff. If you know anything about state dept folks, they're generally tiff-avoiders.

Probably a good thing then that Hitler is dead

Or is he....

 

[Jade Falcon]

Or is he....

Don't you know that Hitler came back to life as a cat?

Das Furball. Mein Furry.

In all seriousness....they're lucky I'm not president. I'd expel them from the country immediately and put hard sanctions in place over this.
