Turkey is officially at 1,800% inflation and rising fast. The dictator has forced the state owned backs to make so many questionable loans that all the bad debts now exceed total government yearly revenue. The dictator even made his son head of the central bank. No, he doesn't have any experience doing such a thing but what could go wrong.

Like Venezuela it seems Turkey needs to learn a hard lesson about what voting for stupid gets you.

I know official figures are usually verbal diarrhea, but the official rate is 12.2%. That's a bit of a gap between that figure and 1,800%. Is the government completely lying? Why the major discrepency? I don't think even the IMF puts it at 1,800%.

http://www.imf.org/external/datamapp...@WEO/OEMDC/TUR - 11.4% (lower than government figure, though older).

I think Erdogan is a P.O.S. who has abused LGBT people in particular however... and at one point while the economy was strengthening under Erdogan (prior to the coup), it has started to backtrack and disintegrate. Turkey was booming for a while and had major construction booms, but that seemed to end dramatically after the failed coup.

NOW WHAT I DO?

I don't drive Porsches I prey to demons to smash them or have them shot up in hit and runs.

And it looks like my Devil-worshiping also offended some uppity, floofy-doof, snitch-first ask questions later, wear as tight slacks as I can, "I drive a Porsche," I am immortal and rich, clueless conservatives as well.

Damn, I am just on a roll. **** BOTH of you *****es.

[ZEE]

People who have broken no rules but who criticized Trump our pointed out truths he does not like may have their security clearances revoked in retaliation by Trump. These are all national security advisors or former national security advisors. What ever you do don't ever tell Trump a truth he does not want to hear.

How is it some people still support this fool?

This is actually funny coming from a country that has elected Trump as president

I give it two years tops befoee Turkey is heading to a Zimbabwe style melt down.

Was quite clear that this would happen ... most probably the main reason why Erdogan preponed the elections.
Had he held the elections after the economic meltdown, his reelection wuld have been doubtful, even with the level of election manipulation he used

EU claims US tariffs are horrible and bad but EU tariffs are wonderful and like unicorns farting rainbows. Gee, double standard much?
