204-89
Impeached!
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Get rid of those 89 too.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Unfortunately, the latest legislative election was this April, so the next election is in 2028.

Apparently it's bad news for the world outside Korea that this all went down.
I have read this wannabe dictator had been pushing for directly selling to Ukraine and that idea is now firmly tainted and not going to happen.

Thank God, Yoon is cooked

QuoteActing President Choi appoints two judges to the Constitutional Court. Another spot remains open but this likely clears the path to confirming Yoon's impeachment and turns down the tensions between the govt and opposition controlled National Assembly.

Great thread here, with the court just dunking all over Yoon.

QuoteYoon is impeached.

"The impeachment petition in this case is lawful."

"Yoon's exercise of emergency powers cannot be justified."

"There was no lawful deliberation or Cabinet meeting regarding Yoon's declaration of martial law. This violated the procedures stipulated by the Constitution and the law."

"It was also confirmed that Yoon ordered the arrest of key political figures and opposition lawmakers."

"Yoon violated the political neutrality of the military."

"Yoon infringed upon the political freedoms of the people."

"Yoon violated the independence of the National Election Commission."

"Yoon violated the independence of the judiciary."

"Yoon denied popular sovereignty and democracy, and extensively infringed upon the fundamental rights of the people."

I bolded the relevant parts.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

They want their corrupt authoritarian president returned to power. What represents that better today than the American flag?

Yep. We represent corrupt authoritarian nationalist strongmen.

Like the "El Presidentes" of South America, but with worse weather and uglier women.

I don't know.  Xi and Modi seem to be doing a better job at it.  Even Erdogan, arguably.
