Mike ElganUSA: President attempts coup. He leaves office and continues grifting and lying and sowing division and is now running for re-election.
PERU: President attempts coup. He's impeached, arrested and thrown in jail.
Call me Gamora@MikeElgan Shocking how much we've allowed trump to get away with.
Voron@Exoticgamora @MikeElgan I take exception to the use of the word we

Tracy Thayne 🏴|🇺🇸@Exoticgamora @MikeElgan and it’s not just Trump. Think about how many of our congressional representatives were also complicit. They should have all been thrown out of government and jailed. Nothing! Our government is corrupt!
Keith 🇺🇸🇪🇺🇮🇪🇺🇦Don't forget about the coup d'etat plot that Germany just unraveled today (yes, Germany; yes, a coup d'etat; yes, today).
25 people arrested so far, including Prince Henrik XIII (if there were such a thing as royalty in Germany).

Sam Pink@kdvncm @MikeElgan Germans learn a long time ago not to put up with nonsense
Ertain@MikeElgan Yeah, that's about right.

Warner Crocker@MikeElgan Something, something, something... which one is the third world country?
LeaveNothingForTheFuture@WarnerCrocker @MikeElgan I believe the proper term used by insurrectionists is "shithole country"
MrEric35@MikeElgan exactly. It shouldn't be this complicated.

Well you can thank Mitch McConnell actually; plus god knows how many other Republicans. They had their chance; twice, and what became of it. Twice! Once would have sufficed but oh no; another classic case of gutless Republicans. Think these folks don't truly know who they're dealing with? Bloody rights they do!

A L Katz@MikeElgan But, was Peru's president a rich, entitled white guy whose daddy set him up in business? It makes all the difference. Apparently.
txwikingerUSA: Radical Groups storm the parliament with the goal to prevent legitimate transfer of power. Total failure of intelligence services and police
Germany: Radical group plans to storm parliament to overthrow government. 3000 police forces raid 100 locations and detain fifty people including sitting judge, current and former military service people and former police service officer, including arrest in two other countries.

Jean Vickers@MikeElgan So wish Americans were up for mass strikes for better justice. For tRum it has always been about the $$$--anything he does is for that.
Unprecedented 2023@MikeElgan Our legislators have no guts.
Lawrence@MikeElgan We can “thank” the GOP for this. They created him over many decades and they’re continuing to fuel his dumpster fire attacks on the republic. They could have impeached him. Twice. They preferred power over the constitution.
ClassyT@MikeElgan HMM…MAKES YOU WONDER WHO IS REALLY THE FACE OF DEMOCRACY.
ChrissyOne 🏳️⚧️@MikeElgan You’d think this would be easy.
EarthOne@MikeElgan It's a true mystery, isn't it? Germany led a treasonous group plotting to overthrow the govt. away in handcuffs, the ring leader related to former royalty notwithstanding. Our Capitol was attacked 23 months ago and those plotters are running for office and holding public rallies to advocate doing it again, with impunity.
@MikeElgan All in a day. We suck.
sandywb14@MikeElgan I really respect their ways.
@MikeElgan ...
Exactly. Peruvian friend texted me at 10am of the president's attempt to overthrow the govt. By dinner, the pres was impeached and in jail! America is so slow!!

@Lori4242 @MikeElgan US version was on live TV and everyone saw Trump inciting the mob. Trump Organization was found guilty of tax fraud. Yet, Trump is talking about running for office again and there are people who support him. We shouldn’t even pretend any more about moral authority.

@@MikeElgan Makes you wonder which country is 3rd world...
Derek 🌈@MikeElgan It is amazing what you can get away with here when you have the right connections and money.
Teritd@MikeElgan Peru has more balls than the United States of America!
deborah@MikeElgan right?! I read about that and thought yet again this is our American exceptionalism. We think we can’t possibly have someone so awful as president that they need to be imprisoned. And then we have an attempted coup, but we do nothing about it.
Tofu Golem@MikeElgan
If only America weren't a failed state and could live up to the standards of Peru.
Heck, at this point, I would settle for reaching up to the standards of the Weimar Republic.
@MikeElgan also it’s extremely funny how the Biden’s and Clinton’s are still at large… In a fair country, these people should’ve been spending life in prison at least.
thepoisontart@MikeElgan are you aware that the President of Peru was impeached by a corrupt government for trying to fight that corruption? That is why he was removed and jailed so quickly - they are not interested in the rule of law or transparency. That you find that process admirable is disturbing, because it's *fascism*.
The process in the US is taking a long time, and it *should*. They're dotting every "i" and crossing every "t" so that the man who is legendary for legal loopholes is left without one.

@thepoisontart @MikeElgan What are you talking about? He was not trying to fight the corruption he was also corrupt and he wasnt removed from jail he is still there. And also how is it transparent? In Peru the president has immunity thats why he had to be remove from the power to take some actions to investigate him. Arrest a president trying to escape to mexico is not fascism
@Andrewkb @MikeElgan
1)I said "removed and jailed" not "removed from jail".
-2 for poor reading comprehension
2) I said their process IS NOT transparent, contrasting the process in the US for prosecuting Trump.
-2 for poor reading comprehension
3) an administration that doesn't respect the rule of law is, indeed, fascist.
-5 for not studying the vocabulary
Maybe reread a post before commenting.
@thepoisontart @MikeElgan He was removed and jailed for what he did. It was fast because he was already being investigated before. The process are bot comparable and castillo process will be more transparent now that he is not the president. The law is literally like that they were actually respecting it. Fuck your point system, are you a kid or what? 🤡
@Andrewkb @MikeElgan I'm old enough to be a grandmother, so I am superannuated for this feculence. You've misread my ENTIRE comment, so I could only think that it was either intentional or you needed to be educated. You and I are obviously not having the same argument, so you no longer need to involve me in it.
@thepoisontart @MikeElgan Lmao If you are old then act like that. By doing that It just make you look childish. Just because I read a sentence wrong It doesn’t mean I need education everyone makes mistakes. I am not involving you in anything I am just correcting your wrong and biased thought and If you can’t discuss it that is your problem
The Wubster@MikeElgan The United States takes ‘land of the free’ to an outrageous extent. #IndictTrump
Agora@MikeElgan even Pakistan banned their former PM Khan from running again for the next couple of years due to fraud
SusanMcIntosh@MikeElgan ... And now Peru has a woman president!
Wolfgang 🎶= Me + Dog ☑️GERMANY: Neo-nazis attempt coup. Rounded up and tried.
USA: Coup 2.0 in process. Little done about it.

@MikeElgan not to mention former US president is hanging out with avowed neonazis.
Muldoonicus@MikeElgan This is the lock grip white elites have on much of the Nation, since Nixon
nhb@MikeElgan who is the Banana Republic now…
Aaron Brick — אהרן בריק@MikeElgan Now who's a banana republic?
Brood Tea@MikeElgan it speaks volumes about the Republicans who allowed Trump to continue and not hold him accountable. They're just as culpable.
RM@MikeElgan is that true?
It isn't clear for those I know who watch Peruvian politics with a vested interest...
Carol Hedges@MikeElgan yes…. Ironic much!
Rev Dr Kathleen Raphael DD LPN@MikeElgan
Sounds like they've got a clue.
USA is broken.
Why tRump isn't long since in jail is a travesty & the country cries out for justice.

Merculargo@MikeElgan exactly this. Apparently if your a rich white person that moves in the right circles you are pretty much bulletproof
Ericka Simone@MikeElgan yeah. Not sure we’re in a democracy anymore.
