The National Assembly is expected to hold a plenary session today (10th), the last day of the 22nd regular session of the National Assembly, and propose a request for a permanent special prosecutor's investigation to find out the truth about the "emergency martial law incident." The special prosecutor's request for an investigation to find out the truth about the act of civil war through the declaration of unconstitutional emergency martial law (hereinafter referred to as the "permanent special prosecutor for civil war"), which was decided by the opposition party alone at the plenary session of the Legislative and Judiciary Committee yesterday, calls for an investigation by a special prosecutor into the alleged civil war by President Yoon Suk Yeol, Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun and Martial Law Commander Park An-soo. Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, former floor leader of the People's Power, Choo Kyung-ho, and Commander of the Defense Command Yeo In-hyung were also included in the investigation. There is a possibility that today's plenary session will also introduce a "reduced budget bill," which was handled exclusively by the Democratic Party of Korea on the 2nd by the Special Committee on Budget and Accounts at the National Assembly. The opposition party has exclusively passed next year's budget bill, which cut a total of 4.1 trillion won from the government's budget bill, at the National Assembly's budget committee on the 2nd, and the ruling party has been protesting against it. The Democratic Party of Korea said it could also consider submitting a budget bill that reduced by an additional 700 billion won to the plenary session as an amendment under the hardline stance that "there will be no discussions on the budget without impeachment of the president." The ruling and opposition parties and the Ministry of Strategy and Finance reportedly continued their discussions to find a consensus on the budget until the end of the previous day, and some observers say that further negotiations could take place without delaying the proposed budget. The voting on the plan for the parliamentary investigation into the death of the Coporal Chae and the report on the impeachment of Justice Minister Park Sung-jae and National Police Agency Commissioner Jo Ji-ho could also take place at today's plenary session.

there is a third choice: join the US 
Trump certainly has been joking about it, but it slowly has stopped being a joke, which is scary.
He uses humor to test the viability of his ideas and drops the humor when he sees that they elicit a strong response that he believes is favorable.
Your only choices are nuclear deterrence or submitting to his will now as a country.

- deport all the immigrants to mexico
- make mexico a state

eager parrot
a strong united north america with lots of resources and manufacturing (big in Mexico) isn't such a bad idea
and a significant number of illegal immigrants come through Mexico now, but aren't Mexican themselves. Same goes through Canada's borders somehow now.
big happenings around the world, have to solidify NA's position and take advantage of natural barriers like oceans.
marsh oracle
a strong united north america, maybe achieved through some sort of north american free trade agreement?
eager parrot
it's always been in favor of the US only, Mexico and Canada get the shit end of those deals
especially after Trump's renegotiation last time
marsh oracle
idk last i heard even us citizens hated it
eager parrot
haven't seen polls on that, we're usually too self-centered to care anyway
marsh oracle
then again the average us citizen probably believes trump when he says a trade deficit with a country means you subsidize the country
eager parrot
but yeah, I bet at least some warhawks here are itching to send troops to mexico
canada won't need that, they'll submit if push comes to shove
hoary charm
wonder how long its gonna take for australians to see the canada US state memes and start doing the same for nz
marsh oracle
its always fascinating when trump can somehow reap the benefits of being on both sides of an issue
somehow the peace candidate but also might/might not invade mexico
eager parrot
I wonder how many Mexicans support such an idea
like genuinely, would it be a net positive or negative for the average middle class or lower class person in mexico becoming a US citizen automatically?
and given what's going on with their own military and federal police vs. cartels too...
eager parrot
somehow the peace candidate but also might/might not invade mexico
they see it through a manifest destiny lens vs. sandbox wars lens perhaps
marsh oracle
i think you give the average voter entirely too much credit for that
eager parrot
sure, maybe not in such a philosophical way but to the average american, bases with 30-60K troops across europe, asia and middle east, as well as unwinnable, seemingly worthless wars we've been engaged in for the past forever just seems like such a waste and not a focus on domestic issues
meanwhile mexico and canada are pretty aligned with the US and already have like 60-80% of their economy and trade with the US, that becoming domestic probably doesn't sound as bad as say "US bombs Syria again"
marsh oracle
see the issues is that "we spend too much on military to do <domestic thing>" has never been an argument for anything ever
the us doesnt do domestic thing because there isnt enough support for it in the legislative
eager parrot
it's not just the money though, it's the discourse being dominated by the wars
whether media, politics, every day public discourse and counciousness
marsh oracle
that just seems like huge cope
the idea that suddenly the us would have things like universal healthcare if only they pulled all their troops from europe and other countries (thereby also suffering a ton of negative effects btw) to me just doesnt align with reality
eager parrot
obviously not and I never said such a thing
toxic spoke
I don’t think extra implied that either tbf, there’s also all the culture war stuff in the media distracting people from real issues
marsh oracle
im saying that seems to be the average voters perception
like it also happens with foreign aid to ukraine and other countries
"oh we send so much money to ukraine why arent we spending that on our <insert vulnerable group here>"
anyway i guess ive just circled back to "its all vibes based and nothing matters cause people dont live in reality"
so you know what, fuck it, just invade mexico and plant that american flag 🦅

I've considered the US but I've genuinely experienced moments in the US that made me have to consider if something could escalate to the point of guns being involved. Literally almost all my male cousins have to carry just in case in the US.
If it ever comes to that point, i think that Canada would lose a lot of its appeal for its quality of life. At that point I'd probably look at other options more favourably. Dubai to me isn't the greatest but I'd consider it.

the news outlets themselves are not independent, they are beholden to their owners

first nations up there have a considerably better deal than ones down here
on paper anyway
fringe juniper
They can join my county
eager parrot
at this point your county likely has a higher GDP than half of that country lol

We'll have a government cheese party

Thing with annexing Canada is that it would kinda have to result in a war with Britain due to the whole commonwealth thing. I guess that explains why they're trying to prop up Nigel to be Britains Donald Trump now
eager parrot
reality is nobody would defend Canada if the US actually was serious and it wasn't just Trump bullying and shitposting
not even Canada will be able to defend Canada
I just don't see what benefit there would be to such a bizarro happening

enbridge just got permission to reroute their oil pipeline around the bad river band of chippewa reservation
they already run line 5 through the reservation, just federal courts ruled that they're tresspassing and instead want to just go around the rez
eager parrot
is this the one going to the pacific coast?
livid frigate
no
line 5 cuts through minnesota, wisconsin, and the UP before going back into ontario
blazing depot
they already run line 5 through the reservation, just federal courts ruled that ...
This sounds confusing. Isn't it technically better if they reroute it around instead of plowing it through the reservation?
Putting aside that oil pipelines are generally bad
livid frigate
no because it poses more of a risk to lake superiors watershed
eager parrot
ah I see which one you mean
and yeah rerouting it would mean potentially more environmental risk

it's already leaking and has had terrible effects on the reservation

seems like it was our fault giving those canadians permission to route their pipes through the US in the first place

The rez mentioned
blazing depot
no because it poses more of a risk to lake superiors watershed
Ah, I see. Yeah, makes sense.
blazing depot
Can't be, oil companies would never skimp on maintenance, surely
livid frigate
it's okay, they can do it on the rez too because it's only native americans who live there and the government doesn't care about them
enbridge had another spill in wisconsin within the last week

skimming her manifesto doesnt really mention any political leaning other than so...
they idolised neo nazis

they idolised neo nazis
Yeah, including the one neonazi mass shooter in Turkey
fossil basin
certainly are after citizens united
And after Elon practically becoming the copresident
hoary charm
sure you could focus on that, vs the other 5 pages of the manifesto that outline how much she hated being picked on and her family essentially not wanting her
fossil basin
sure you could focus on that, vs the other 5 pages of the manifesto that outline...
The reason why that neonazi in turkey shot people was not because he was picked on, because he was an edgy neonazi teen and he wanted to off minorities
If she was to idolize him as her hero, it showcases a bigger info on her ideologies
hoary charm
okay? that doesn't negate the pages of her describing her life
fossil basin
okay? that doesn't negate the pages of her describing her life
It detracts from how much we are kinda supposed to believe her
Or atleast symphatize with her
fossil basin
I am rather going to focus on her idolization of a turkish neonazi rather than her family issues, thank you
half heath
I think its a lot of things
not just one or other but I find that one pretty alarming
fossil basin
Especially because neofascism is a leading ideology through turkish youth
hoary charm
i'm not gonna pretend that mental health, poor upbringings and poor life situations aren't the primary root cause of these things happening
fossil basin
Of course i am not saying that is the only reason why she committed the selfshooting
half heath
yea but lets not ignore what ideologies feed on the confusion, fear, and insecurities of those factors to promote extreme acts
fossil basin
The background of someone is overall a primary cause, but it's also quite related with one's or their environment's ideologies
hoary charm
my point is that youre starting at the end result rather than the root cause
half heath
Idk i feel like they're all pretty interconnected
fossil basin
More than one thing can be a root cause, that turkish neonazi killer would not have killed those people if neonazism was not a leading ideology across turkish youth
And she would not have had the chance to idolize him
Lack of gun control also important reason on mass shootings, private arming is common in turkey

Excellente question now that I think about it

Thought it would take a bit for the musk presidency to really kick off but I guess we are jumping right in
fossil basin
I knew that would happen
There is a reason i agreed when azealia banks said keeping elon musk out of position of power was the most important thing for 2024, sad that she retracted, i hadn't
Not that i expected her to have a consistent analysis of a political situation, just one of the rare cases of broken clock strikinng critically right
Fox news are also now suggesting Elon to be speaker of the house
blazing depot
Isn't house speaker, like, 3rd in line of succession
Which Elon can't actually be in
fossil basin
Which Elon can't actually be in
I mean fox news suggested either vivek or elon to be selected in the position
Which, i do not think of them as a reliable source of overall reporting, but they are ought to be indicators of what position will the republicans take
At this point i am unsure that they care about "puny" legal matters
marsh oracle
Which Elon can't actually be in
Counterpoint: it would be very funny
Some things are more important than the constitution
Elon already runs 4 companies, takes care of his 20 kids, is the best diablo 4 player and constantly posts shit takes on twitter, he wont even notice the extra work, what does speaker of the house even do anyway?

Can he fuck off and stop trying to influence every single election. Bro bought his way into Trump's heart and now thinks he can interfere in every election ever everywhere

And of course all the people you'd expect to jump on this (including Elon) are doing it decrying it as an islamist terror attack when... well, it was evidently very much the opposite. Dude was a political refugee atheist and very vocal anti islamist who politically leans heavy into the people who just jumped on the "GOTCHA!" response train. (aka the right wing brigade including Alex Jones, the AfD and.. yes, Elon.), all very present on his twt timeline. )
Just goes to show what we've come to at this point

Well yeah, he endorsed Nigel Farage and AFD
Like, vocally, he tweeted that "only afd could save germany" which is, lol
Which is the expected progression from many people who goes "we should piss off the left and the right equally" (his tweet from 2019), to "only afd can save germany" (2024 tweet)

Truly a mystery.

Was this guy even a whistleblower?

Hes not one of the many safety researchers there that quit recently

that is true, the substance of said whistleblowing is really lackluster
but still, too many whistleblowers dying, discouraging whistleblowing is the goal I'd imagine

Would be shame if something happened to your ability to blow whistles

No one actually said that, but are we acting like that's not in the realm of possibilities?

Well no one actually saying it is the point
Its easy to vaguepost about whistleblowers dying and oh what a mystery wonder who did that etc etc
But at the end of the day it means somebody at some company had this guy killed, which is a much more conrete claim
Not really a fan of openai but I also dont think they would kill this guy over allegations of copyright infringement
