Brazil, Peru, Germany and Jan. 6: Not all attempted coups are the same Not all attempted democratic nation-state coups and their governmental responses — whether preventative or post-juridical — are the same. A "comparison" of four recent coup attempts in four constitutional republics — the United States, Peru, Germany and Brazil — reveal, if nothing else, legal evidence of 21st century American exceptionalism. Some two years after Donald Trump's failed insurrection, three other failed coups were prevented or defeated in South America and Europe. Only one of these attempts was not brought about by a president or former president. Two of these nations had nothing in common with the post-juridical responses of the U.S., and some similarity in common with the U.S. coup. While the third nation had much more in common with the U.S. coup than the other nations did, it too shared commonality in its post-juridical responses with the other nations. [Read the rest from Gregg Barak.](~/AASU4wA~/RgRlsPvLP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvYmt4bjlvbDloNC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPWltdWNrcWwxbDQmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKY8jMds5jPZwVfVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo) (Rafael Vilela for The Washington Post via Getty Images) "Take my hand. Take my whole life, too": I gave my heart away at Elvis and Lisa Marie's house When you think of this world we live in as just a big rock, so much smaller in comparison to the vast dark space it bobs along in than we could ever truly fathom, it's wild to consider that everyone who's ever lived before us and everyone who will be born long after we're gone spends the totality of their days on that very same rock.

And the big yellow sun that shines into my bedroom window at the start of each day is the very same one that Lisa Marie Presley saw in the early hours of January 12, not knowing that it would be her last morning spent on this big rock, just like I won't know when it ends up being mine.

This much is obvious. He has pets – a bulldog and an inherited, mouthy bird. He has dips, and he has plays. He lives a lot of the time in his head. Both Charles and Oliver have been cheated on, but Charles seems to be on the path to a healthy, stable relationship. Oliver is not yet. Certainly, characters don't have to have romantic love to be fulfilled, yet in a show where the two other leads do constantly, it feels like a lack. We want Oliver to be happy. We want someone to see the good in him and to be good for him.
