Following up on reporting by my fellow MNN correspondent @darkdeity.

It was a standoff that lasted 6 hours that everyone watched on TV there, probably like OJ Simpson's slow speed car chase. Except OJ Simpson didn't think he had mystical psychic powers and consult with shamans all the time who told him he could get away with it.

Background: To put this into American terms. Basically the FBI has an arrest warrant for the President. The Secret Service says "we don't care, we protect the President". They tried on Jan 3 and then gave up because, really, wtf do you do in that situation? It's something nobody is prepared for. So they went back and regrouped.

They come back today in overwhelming force. If I'm understanding various reports correctly, they sent in 3,000 cops this time. They forced some kind of Mexican standoff situation where they dared the President's bodyguard to stop them and stared them down. There was real fear that this would end up with shooting. But the bodyguards eventually backed down. I want to imagine somebody doubted the cops' resolve and then one pulled out a .44 Magnum and pointed it at his head and asked "Do you feel lucky, punk?"

It has been reported that veteran personnel of the police's Mobile Detective Unit, Narcotics Investigation Unit and Anti-Corruption Investigation Unit have been dispatched for the warrant execution

Gives you an idea of who this is. It's not a bunch of commies, it's Steve McGarret, Joe Friday, Elliot Ness, Kojak, [insert some morally upright cop from your millenial/zoomer shows, if there are any these days]. They're just trying to enforce the law.

The police are also reportedly considering measures to arrest any individuals who obstruct the team's investigation, including the deputy chief of the PSS Kim Seong-hoon and the head of the Bodyguard Division Lee Kwang-woo who had warrants for their detention issued against them Tuesday night.

Please do.

a bunch of stuff about the 55th Security Brigade

This is the military unit that is the garrison for the capital. Nobody likes to talk about it, but this is what really matters when it comes down to it. They could have easily stopped it but they didn't. Probably because they don't want this insane guy running the country any more than everyone else does. Remember that through the 1980s (I swear it wasn't that long ago, I'm not that old) all power in the country was ultimately based on who could get military units to fight for them. So them sitting this one out is a relief to everyone involved except Yun and his partisans.

A state senator in Mississippi has filed a bill entitled the "Contraception Begins at Erection Act."

As written by Sen. Bradford Blackmon, the bill would make it "unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo."

There are also fines involved, the third strike resulting in the loss of $10,000 from the perpetrator.

In a statement to WLBT News, Blackmon wrote, "All across the country, especially here in Mississippi, the vast majority of bills relating to contraception and/or abortion focus on the woman's role when men are fifty percent of the equation.

This bill highlights that fact and brings the man's role into the conversation. People can get up in arms and call it absurd but I can't say that bothers me."

Angriest Comments

Nobody would argue that fascism isn't racist because ultranationalism is a tenet of fascism. No one argued liberalism isn't democratic because democracy is a tenet of liberalism. Autocracy is not a tenet of communism. In fact, it is the exact opposite. There is no country on earth that claims to have achieved the goals of communism, but the western world labels these countries as communist nations because they espouse the goals of communism. This is akin to calling a construction company a finished building. Are you religious at all? I might have a good analogy for you. (2)

No, I'm a militant anti-theist. The idea that "no country EVER claimed to have achieved communism" is true only on a technicality. Sure, Stalin or Mao never made a speech saying "this is it guys, this is communism! We did it!" And what would it matter if they did? People like you would continue to deny it in other ways. You'd just claim that they were wrong, that wasn't real communism. Just because a nation hasn't reached the end goal of its ideology doesn't mean that it doesn't follow or isn't an example of that ideology. The stated goal of the Fourth Reich was the creation of a pure aryan race, the extermination of undesirables, and the conquest of the Soviet Union to create living space for German settlers. And they failed. But that doesn't mean that Nazi Germany was not a prime example of National Socialism in practice. Also, here's a fun fact: racism was not originally a tenet of fascism. Mussolini himself stated in 1932, "Race? It is a feeling, not a reality." The inventor of ... (2)

yea and we already know that many neo-nazi's are pro Trump. Haven't seen any neo-nazi's support Harris but I have seen many support Trump.also maybe Elon is not a nazi that's fully possible, but he knows that the neo-nazi's support trump.also trump and Elon both support the killing of Palestinians.and who did Biden kill then, or do you mean that under Biden people got killed like which happens under literally every president including Trump.

If you're committing genocide against women and children how different are you from a Nazi really?So the Democrats and their voters are aligned with Nazis on committing genocide in Gaza but the Democrats are better? It would be hard to decouple, but 8 billion in weapons to bomb Gaza has to account for a decent chunk of those 60k women and children.But Elon's and his supporters are still worse right?https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/biden-administration-notifies-congress-of-planned-8-billion-weapons-sale-to-israel (1)

autodrama: returning jobs to dramneurodivergents. Ping HeyMoon if there are any problems or you have a suggestion

Just received an email from the CEO of the company (not sure if I was supposed to receive this message) that they want to proceed with my termination.

For some context, this is an account management role and I have 4+ years of experience with me being a top seller and performer at the companies I've worked for. The reason I took this role is because I started my own company and wanted something stable in the meantime, and my previous employer lowballed my commission so I left.

I started this new job at the beginning of January and ever since I made a minor mistake in my email, my manager has been micromanaging me about what to say in my emails, how to talk, what time I need to be logged on, and so on. To be honest I've never been micromanaged in this way and it only started happening last week. But I want to know if you guys think this is a valid reason to be let go?

Can we also fight back against the Tiananmen Square massacre and Chinese internment camp deniers?

I'm just asking because the PSL is the very first group listed as being associated with this little protest, and last time I checked, they think those people don't exist.

https://www.liberationnews.org/tiananmen-the-massacre-that-wasnt/

For anyone seriously considering supporting these idiots, look into the PSL, or Party for Socialism and Liberation. They are essentially a political mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party. They've also been very vocal in their support of North Korea having nukes, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad being a great guy and didn't use chemical weapons on his people, and that Tibet belongs to China.

Remember that when you're marching down the street next to them.
