Shit if busses were still up

I’d go to NA rn

Matter of fact

[blazing depot]

Not sure how well white devil with camera would fare over there rn

[hoary charm]

is the national assembly usually open publicly or by filling up do you mean members are getting in?

[keen nest]

But why

[hoary charm]

cause all the videos etc make it look completely blocked off

[keen nest]

Lol national assembly always has people protesting there

[ocean vigil]

as in the actual seats

[hoary charm]

right

[ocean vigil]

it's on the stream deselected posted

[keen nest]

You can probably find messages from me talking about it on days going there on friday laughing at the protestors outside

While going to kbs arrivals

National assembly is a very political area to begin with

[zenith flume]

is that low potent tear gas live?

[blazing depot]

Sure looks like it

Unless someone threw a smoke grenade

So... can the NA actually lift a martial law declared by the executive?

[keen nest]

Yes lol

[supple dragon]

[keen nest]

National assembly is like

[blazing depot]

Like, is the military just gonna look at at the vote tally and go like "Ah, I see. Pack it up bois, let's go grab some ramen"

[keen nest]

Most important building here

[hoary charm]

sounds like theyre getting into it now?

[ocean vigil]

probably hit enough people present

[keen nest]

Yeah live stream has a bunch of people already voting

Gonna go buy gs25 worker a soju

BBC reporters are really just like "We don't know shit"

[keen nest]

Watch the news with him

[glacial verge]

kinda off topic but i wonder what would happen to that johnny somali dude now this is happening

[blazing depot]

I mean... let's just say if he tried his shit in the midst of something like this worse things than getting floored once would happen

[keen nest]

Here I'll walk down to the direction of national assembly rn

I ain't seeing helicopters

Kinda disappointed lmao

[blazing depot]

Supposedly they landed on the roof

[keen nest]

Yep I don't see or hear anything

Oh also probably worth noting

[ocean vigil]

how far away are you?

[keen nest]

I didn't get any sort of emergency notice to my phone about this kek

National assembly is 2 stops from me by bus

[ocean vigil]

that's a lot of green

[zenith flume]

100%

[nova holly]

that was expected

now what

[zenith flume]

yea nobody wanted a martial law

[nova holly]

its not like they can arrest him?

its martial law

[ocean vigil]

well not anymore if you go by the NA

[nova holly]

[keen nest]

It's time boys

I lived under martial law ama

BREAKING: Parliament votes against martial law decree. All 190 members who were able to enter the main hall voted in favor of the bill. None voted against

Twitter · Dec 3, 2024, 4:02 PM

Talk about uniting the parliament

[fossil basin]

not really, none from yoon's party had attended

[slow dune]

Yes they have

[hoary charm]

yeah that guys follow up https://x.com/josungkim/status/1863977960757428251

Joseph Kim (@josungkim) on X

Local broadcasters are zooming in on all those who participated. There are hardly any from President Yoon’s party

Twitter · Dec 3, 2024, 4:05 PM

[slow dune]

Opposition does not have 190 seats in the NA

[fossil basin]

well, none was a bit of reach perhaps

but yeah, i had seen the same news

[slow dune]

So there's at least 20 of Yoon's party, but probably significantly more because it seems unlikely only the opposition was able to go inside and Yoon's party wasn't

South Korea’s National Assembly has passed a resolution to lift the martial law (190-0).

[fossil basin]

unless there's something brewing up, it is military

i think whatever brews up within that will be the ultimate decider

[glacial verge]

https://www.yna.co.kr/view/AKR20241204006100001?input=tw

[slow dune]

So we san safely assume that almost everyone in the NA is very much against Yoon's decisions

[keen nest]

yeah yoon's party members were like wtf are you doing lmao

[ocean vigil]

well it's not gonna help their popularity

[fossil basin]

i do not have a big prediction on what will happen

[slow dune]

My previous boss is going to hate Yoon even more now

[fossil basin]

i am not someone that has seen great political developments nearby at any point, so i will advise people to be cautious

[slow dune]

I can just hear him being angry in my head about all of this

[blazing depot]

I mean, Yoon wanted to effectively eliminate the legislative completely. That's what he said.

So yeah, the legislative will not like that

[fossil basin]

it will be important which path the military follows

https://fxtwitter.com/josungkim/status/1863978699223343449?t=sIIAo4wNxLMmplJNqJj42A&s=19

[ocean vigil]

the soldiers at the NA are very much in a waiting mode

[fossil basin]

one thing i am familiar with, is military intervening in politics

[valid magnet]

100% for a vote not something you see often

[zenith flume]

there's nothing to gain with military intervening with this, it's just a president pulling some left pocket bullshit that no one wants to have

they'll just pack up and go home

[slow dune]

And majority of the military is just mandatory service people no? So they also have nothing to gain from intervening

[zenith flume]

exactly

[fossil basin]

i might be extremely wrong here, but i think it will showcase how much of a cult persona Yoon might have over military, especially over young men within

I am not saying that will happen or as a prediction, but i think it is something to consider

[slow dune]

You mean the incel netizens

[fossil basin]

by showcase, i mean if it'll be sufficient enough for such an act

[ocean vigil]

soldiers are switiching from waiting mode to chill mode

looks like some of them are already leaving

[slow dune]

It's late, they probably want some sleep :^)

[ocean vigil]

yeah, can't imagine they are happy about this

[nova holly]

well he decided to do it at 11pm for a reason

[pale knot]

So is the military not even buying it?

[fossil basin]

i would have been sleepy

[blazing depot]

Well, that didn't quite work out as well as he thought it would

[ocean vigil]

the ones in the field will just be confused af and waiting for orders

President Yoon Suk Yeol of South Korea has declared martial law Tuesday in an emergency briefing. Yoon said it was made to prevent "anti-state forces," specifically citing the opposition party and its followers as pro-North Korean leftist groups.

[languid tree]

What anti state forces?

[slow dune]

Anyone against him

[languid tree]

I’m pretty sure pro North Korean citizens are actually pro to the Kim dynasty but are pro unification

[ocean vigil]

rule of thumb, if people saying stuff like this are not specific, they are pulling it out of their asses

[slow dune]

It's like Putin saying Ukraine are nazis

[marsh hollow]

im tired of unprecedented historical events happening every week

[languid tree]

I know a few things about him. I know he’s quite right wing but I didn’t know he was at this level

[slow dune]

Or the US calling anything not US communist

[languid tree]

Lol, wasn’t there a Korean soldier that went to jail cuz he went and fought for Ukraine??

Like does Yoon’s party even approve of this?

no

From the news I’m getting, which is definitely not reliable. It seems like Yoon declared this out of nowhere

how can the military just decide on that

saw an interpretation that the parliament decided that the president has to lift it, or they might be posturing

President Yoon Suk Yeol says he will lift martial law after parliament voted to block it, Yonhap news reports.

We'll bring you more details when we have them.

Moments after South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol announced he would lift the martial law people outside the National Assembly celebrated, the AFP news agency reports.

It adds that Yoon says martial law troops have withdrawn after the National Assembly voted to block his imposition of military rule.

[eager parrot]

this is why even if it'll cost an arm and a leg, you call 911 and have ambulance EMS take you into emergency ward if you had a heart attack or stroke or other clearly life-threatening issue

you'll still probably get a long wait time and depending on how busy they are and your particular issue (and sadly age), triaged, but still better than going in yourself and getting put on the chair in the lounge waiting to die.

unless of course you have somebody who can drive you faster to the emergency than the ambulance arrival would take...

[fossil basin]

He was being stalled at the emergency ward

He was not scanned and he was insulted even

Atleast this is the statement of his wife

He had reported chest ache and arm numbness, these should have been reasons to get him to emergency ward less than 15 mins of stall

He had waited for like 45 mins

[marsh oracle]

Lol

[fossil basin]

Several causes might be on order for this, not enough doctors per patient, people attending to emergency ward for mere colds, battle to take patients, and in a darker turn, healthcare fraud (babies were intentedly killed and made sick by doctors for healthcare fraud, even in rather decently renowned hospitals like medicana, and it is said to extend to adults too)

https://apnews.com/article/biden-pardons-trump-f36ead0eb92ea30e47cbfddfaf326f20

Biden is not the first to consider such pardons — Trump aides considered them for him and his supporters involved in his failed efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election that culminated in a violent riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. But he could be the first to issue them since Trump’s pardons never materialized before he left office nearly four years ago.

well they tried considered it, so we're gonna actually do it kind of mindset

anything goes now

what a pathetic country leadership we have

[ruby helm]

"Recipients could include infectious-disease specialist Dr. Anthony Fauci" I wonder if there are better political ways they could do it. Such as investigating Trump's claims themselves and then announcing they have reached a settlement admitting Trump's claims are false, barring Trump filing a case as the issue has already been ruled on and the courts can't take the same case twice.

Even if Trump's claims against various officals turn out to be false, the are still on the hook for tens of millions of dollars in legal fees and years of court cases.

I think there is also a big difference between pardoning hunter for a crime he committed, and pardoning random officals for made up claims by Trump

[marsh oracle]

Its a month from trump taking over

[marsh oracle]

Democrats upholding political norms didnt give them jack shit the last few years so why should they continue to do it?

Also lets not forget trump did actually pardon a ton of high profile people that committed crimes for him

[eager parrot]

It's just funny to see them do exactly what they've been claiming the opposition would have done, that's all

hypocrisy always gives me a chuckle

as I said, anything goes now

moral high ground no more

As I had said before...

[marsh oracle]

No substantial difference between pardoning officials because the incoming FBI director has said he would prosecute them for made up crimes vs pardoning people that stormed the capitol, very true

[eager parrot]

they spent four years going after every trump ally for anything and everything they could find that sticks, including imprisoning people for ignoring congress's summons, not to even go into how much they went after the man himself, and now they are just scared shitless enough to abuse the pardon process, it's a great display of American politics in a nutshell

we truly live in the darkest timeline, but only in the beginning portions

[marsh oracle]

Which of the trump cases do you think dont have merit?

[eager parrot]

well apparently none of them now that they are all being dismissed

[marsh oracle]

?

[eager parrot]

because if there was any merit, four years was more than enough time to make one stick

[marsh oracle]

Theyre being dismissed cause they cant prosecute a sitting president

[eager parrot]

and fucking garland wanted to become a supreme court justice, laughable

[marsh oracle]

Not if the supreme court slides in

And gives the president blanket immunity for official acts

[eager parrot]

seems like their calculus was off then if there was any chance that trump was going to go back into power and return the favor then

[marsh oracle]

What calculus

Maybe trump was prosecuted because he did crimes

Actively hiding classified documents and bragging about it to your friends might just be illegal and not just for trump

[eager parrot]

maybe, but they never got to prove it in court or get a judgement I guess, and by the time his presidency is over, he's too old for any of this to matter, and this country will be too different.

[marsh oracle]

Probably, thats what happens when the supreme court stops being a check on the other branches

Point being, maybe trump is treated badly because trump, after all this time, is just bad

And i believe you can look at the underlying facts and say that yea, trump bad

[eager parrot]

I don't think I'd ever argue against that point

it's pretty self explanatory

and yet, this is what democracy has voted for unfortunately, even more so than in 2020 (he got more votes) and every single state moved to the right this year ...

[marsh oracle]

Well you do the centrist thing and say because trump is treated badly democrats must also be treated badly

[eager parrot]

no, I say the hypocrisy of doing exactly what trump considered doing is just funny and a bit sad

[marsh oracle]

But its not exactly what trump considered doing

Unless you believe all the fauci conspiracies i guess

[eager parrot]

I don't think the crimes or intents were the same but the mechanism of pre-pardoning for a set number of years before prosecutions is just bizarre

and fauci is too old for this shit, he'll be going into the sunset sooner or later anyway

[ruby helm]

My take though, if he pardonded Fauci and said the claims against him are false, I doubt he would get much political pushback and everyone would have forgotten in a months time

[eager parrot]

I can't wait until all traces of the silent generation is erased from american politics

[marsh oracle]

Like, sometimes you are just far away from home and need a PC. Doesn't even matter if it's for work or leisure.

i mean if you worded it like that then it's fine but influencers promoting this, saying like "you can own this PC for x amount' basically lying to buyers who will think it is really it is their pc and get their monthly prices jacked up

What is he cooking up this time

DON’T LET HIM COOK AGAIN

he will ban kpop

not sure if the amount of shouting increasing is a good or bad sign

[eager parrot]

it's korea, they have literal fistfights in their national assembly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v7ICW1w9xg

[fossil basin]

We have those too

[eager parrot]

seems to be a thing in places that were not always democracies in the modern era

which is most places

and even in places that did start with a democracy like the US, we have insurrections instead

based on variety shows and dramas and reality shows and such, south korea has a very physical aspect to their interactions, like very normal to be hitting one another, not sure how else to word that, so this isn't surprising at the national assembly level

[hoary charm]

need to bring back sword fighting to solve legal disputes

impeachment table

[toxic spoke]

oh so yoon's party statement is to just not attend so they don't have enough people to vote
and it just depends how many break the party line and stay

so some just voted no on investigating the first lady and dipped

[fossil basin]

Like if he is let without repercussions like Trump, the party might be aligned around a personality cult

[blazing depot]

That doesn't really work like that

Trump was popular and got his cult because he resonated with a portion of the populace

Yoon doesn't resonate with anyone

[last eagle]

Final result: 195/300

failed to impeach the president

korea is now in the dystopian future

[pale flower]

How soon can they try again?

[blazing depot]

Unless his party gives in there doesn't really seem to be much of a point

As much as people might protest and strike, if they just decide to ignore what is very clearly the will of the people and sit there for the remainder of their term going "lalala, we can't hear you" then they can I guess

Despite not even having a majority in the assembly

[last eagle]

i guess there's few impostor(s) among u-
i mean democratic party

but yea, south korea is now cooked

can't even have unity inside the parliamentary

[blazing depot]

195/300 is way more united than your average parliamentary , wdym

I think Emma Corrin having rats defecate on her while on her body while trying to shoot the movie or conditions of getting 5000 rats together and how they were stored, is more important than the medieval perception PETA is worried about

It's not like the movie is trying to reinforce the narrative that rats caused the bubonic plague, presenting people's belief systems during the time is somewhat different than trying to promote it

The first part is not an accusation, it's something director Eggers admits in the article

I should check the scene itself though to see how that was like, because as in a historical perceptive, it is important to not spread misinformation

https://youtu.be/72KsjWUCUJQ?si=Rrng7oN5Vm-_5ILK

There were ratatoullie shorts about how rats did not cause the plague themselves, they were carriers, but not the causation of the disease

So it was not that information about rats were never mentioned in popmedia

Honestly, I wouldn't mind Kpop being more political like that in general, the whole pretense that kpop music should be apolitical is really stupid cause that's the case literally nowhere else

*in music

[keen nest]

eh I get the argument

people not wanting stuff like that in their music especially cause like you said it's already out there elsewhere

guess you could argue for or against it

kinda funny dude was next to me at bewave and then just went straight there

yep should've joined em

[brave pelican]

most lyricists just trying to figure out how they can put english into the lyrics and make it kinda make sense

adding nuance to the lyrics would be too much!

[keen nest]

i'll tell you what i'll take politics over more soyeon raps that's for sure

[brave pelican]

tb

[blazing depot]

I mean, Soyeon raps are still better than the vast majority of Kpop raps including rap heavy groups like Baemon

It's arguably a really low bar

[nova holly]

early kpop (HOT, TVXQ) was very political

in hindsight very ironic cause its sm

now they dont even want to write about our real world

Erdogan probably sulking because one of his buddies is gone

[fossil basin]

Not really

Erdoğan is likely the biggest winner here alongside Qatar

Since 2011 the guy was trying to topple Assad without a reversal of things

Not that they did not go occasional negotiations, but the reaction was even stronger against Assad from him, even in comparison to the US

Not saying it will bring any stability to his citizens of country, more so that this case was a win for his personal "glory"

The faction toppling Assad was heavily subsidized by him and the state army
