Erdogan ****ed democracy in turkey, he jails journalists represses the media, he might as well rigged the elections, shame on him turkey was such a democratic state..

 

[Kingu]

The last got me.

 

[Ripple Hole]

lol. they're actually considering to let his character be the deciding factor if
the guy should be punished, that's ridiculous.

Can't believe the guy was fired over something so meaningless.

God(s) where art thou apocalypse?

 

[Dark Sonic]

Whoever did that is a savage. The irony being that the president is compared to one is even more delicious.

Me neither.

Not "might" he did. He was acting like PM while he is a president before the latest elections, advertising his own party. Also numbers do not add up when it comes to votes and there was a lot of bribing during voting process. My best friend was working for elections and she saw people from AKP (Erdogan's party) giving packages to voters right in front of the school (we vote in schools.) Crazy.

I agree didn't think he would get jailed for this

 

[SageNaruto24]

He got all butthurt because he does look like him

 

[Natsu Shazneel]

I like eating Turkey. I like thanking the country Turkey for giving us Turkey. The president should be grateful he is being compared to a movie star and enjoy his turkey. =D
