So just like it's always been: Biden inaugural committee raised $62M with big sums from billionaires, corporations
I love that it's only news now because Trump does it.
It's (D)ifferent ya know
God America is corporate wasteland now. They don't even hide buying politicians anymore. But don't worry rich orange Jesus is here to save us, he totally knows the struggles of the working man.
This is what 78 million Americans voted for.
They wanted corporate welfare, billionaire immunity, and pay for play.
Oh, you thought you'd get cheaper groceries and a one time $600 dollar check? Fricking dolts.
"I don't want consumer protection, workers rights or more financial freedom like never having to worry about healthcare costs again! I want to stop woke and trans and poor people from having freedom."
terrorists don't attack us anymore because they cant achieve our level of destruction with ignorance voting. - /u/herefromyoutube
I'm certain they wanted more corporate welfare and to not own the libs lmao
Look, I didn't like Trump and never voted for him. I thought Biden was honestly doing a pretty okay job. But as a lifelong Apple fan, if Tim's on board, then I'm willing to give him a chance. - /u/Ok-Echo-7764 [-50]
It's even worse when you consider the fact that he's a gay man supporting this admin. Sad.
These people really think the GQP is really going to take away gay rights lmao - /u/OmniAtom91
Honestly I don't blame Cook that much for this. With Trump as president, you have to pay to play. Trump would be petty enough to do something to ruin Apple stock if Cook didn't pay.

I (19F) have been dating my boyfriend Austin (24M) for 6 months now but as of recently i started using a vibrator during s*x. The reason is because he rarely makes me c*m and doesn't seem to even try, so i started using toys while he fricked me. At first he didn't seem to care until last night after we finished he said "it's a bit selfish to use that while we're having s*x"
It came as a surprise because he never said anything the other times i used it. I told him it's because i can't c*m from only penetration, keep in mind he doesn't like giving head or fingering. But most times i give him a blowjob to start things off he just never gives anything back. and i give really good head like a lot of times he cums during the blowjob before we even start fricking, which is fine because i like sucking peepee i just don't wanna feel left out
Soo because of this i resorted to using toys which feels amazing but he doesn't like it. I tried coming to some kind of agreement like asking if he can at least stimulate my clit while he's fricking me or even 69 so we both get stimulated, but he said word for word "real Gs don't eat kitty" .... idek what that means but ok
At this point im just getting so sexually frustrated and i feel like i haven't came properly in ages. Idk if im being the butthole here but i'm tempted to end the relationship and find someone else. If you know any guys that aren't selfish in the bedroom and have a high s*x drive, plss send them my way! i don't care about age or looks
What do fat r*dditors think about this dumb fake story?
I second this. REAL men care about their partners' pleasure.
WRONG. REAL men beat their wives. Also this person has only a single submission and it's in /r/poor. Keep yourself safe.
Definitely NTA. If he doesn't care about your pleasure, what's the point? You're not a s*x toy for his convenience.
Yes you are. A s*x toy that cooks and cleans. Know your place, foid.

I technically have only 1 trophy left to get the plat, just to finish the game on hard but after beating all the challenges it's an easy part.
So the game continues the divisive game ff7 remake or part 1. A vocal minority didn't liked that part 1 wasn't a faithful remake
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/168653-final-fantasy-vii-remake/80041128
My fully objective opinion is that if you want to play original story then play the original game. I played first time the game in 2017 and it held very well, the graphic is part of experience it also a lot better in many ways than the remakes.
So devs had hard choices to make second part more faithful or do some creative freedom.
They started with big middle finger to canon lovers by putting Zack in front of their promotional art. And teased that you can actually save Aerith. And the whole game will end up being a very big tease.
The game start with you playing Zack and them showing parallel universe where Zack survives but cloud doesn't wakes up. Zack enters Midgar and sees helicopter crushes with Avalanche including Aerith. This shit absolutely doesn't make sense timeline wise but goal was to show Zack surviving is bad. So cloud than wakes up, yeah every Zack moment in the game is dream sequence.
Devs made every Zack sequence as dream so they could always back steep if majority of gaymers don't like the new direction and say "ha it was just a dream"
So the next 7-8 chapters of the game have basically no story. Just gameplay and the gameplay is alright, it has some strong far cry motif but what is really impressive is the balance. The game is so balanced
FF7 is a legendary game because there was so many way to break the game so many players were experimenting with the builds and stuff. RPG are generally about min/max and breaking the game. So ff7 remake parts showing such a middle finger to rpg elements. Some rpg elements will only show up at end game but you'll still will never be op. They also future proof the balance. Like you can't use equipment to get a status boost +100% attack or magic. You get only 1 item in the game that can give you +25% attack so it's impossible even to reach 100% attack boost and they already creeped you
You end up being in that game weaker than in part 1. In part 1 every character can reach 9999hp because the hp materia gives you 50% hp boost and you can use multiple of those. In part 2 30% hp boost max 
You could assume it an action game but nope as action game the gameplay is absolutely not balanced but luckily you only encounter it doing hard mode or challenges.
So on chapter 8 comes the first legit big change. Tiffa falls into mako, in og game that happens after aerith dies.
On chapter 13 happens some wild religious symbolism shit in those dream sequences starts happening. Here my fav:
They start giving player a choice hinting that you can save Aerith but same time foreshadowing that non of those choices are real, neighbor can't escape fate and some symbolism like all those choices had this dog
Hinting that you won't save Aerith. That dream sequence also killed Zack multiple times showing you can't change the fate, Zack must die from bullets from those soldiers. So the moment Aerith is about to get killed, cloud saves her in his head and starts fighting Sephiroth and then thinking that he saved Aerith when she got killed
The game ends with illusion of Aerith telling she will stop Sephiroth and all this is still cannon since in og ff7 Aerith did showed up in the end in life stream defeating Sephiroth.
The real changes are basically just Tifa mako event and Yiffie being the main female protagonist, she has even more screen time than Aerith if you ignore the dream sequence. It's understandable, modern Japan is quite libertarian so no wonder she is everywhere and the strongest character in the game. Despite being total optional in og game. She got her own dlc in part 1 and in part3 she will get a huge chapter for her self.
Graphic of ff7 part 2 is actually worse than in part 1 but part 1 is not open world so understandable.
Part 1 is generally a better game than part 2. Part 2 just has so many mini games like 1/4 of chapters are just mini games. Part 2 is too much of an fanfic game.
The story also needed more changes because like I mentioned before that og ff7 did a lot of things better than the remakes and one is that in part 2 it doesn't make sense how the party was following clearly mentally unstable cloud without questioning his actions, many characters interactions just looked better og game than with modern graphics. In rebirth so many interactions and characters motives look so robotic than even most giga neurodivergent would write a better interaction of characters, just show how robotic japs are.
So objectively the game is a 7/10 but if you like Japanese nonsense the game becomes 8/10 and if you like serious shit that makes sense the game is 5/10.
If you go after platinum it will be an harder platinum than any souls game
It has challenges where you have to fight 10+ bosses and if you lose one fight you have to start from beginning, you cannot use any items. All bosses are faster than you and have moves that will wipe you out in one hit so you need to know their patterns
I didn't had any trouble with the game and beating the mini games but the feeling that after fighting a challenge for 30 min the prospect of losing last battle and then start from zero didn't felt nice. I have no idea why they made a jrpg this hard. I am pretty sure the 1% that finished all those challenges didn't liked it and devs will make them even harder in part3.

Elon Musk's appointment to Head of the newly created Burgerland Department of Efficiency, might be the single most corrupt appointment in Trump's new Administration, and perhaps of the past 20 years of any Administration. 
- 225

INTRO:
Greetings Dramatards 
Yesterday on my father's farm, while we were busy vaccinating cows, by injecting 
medicine directly into their eyelids and eyeballs, I then had a moment to read an Afrikaans article about Elon Musk's incredible rise in stature, where he had managed to make powerful friends with Trump, and had managed to secure great power and influence by becoming the head of a newly created Department of Efficiency in USA - a newly created organization, which would endeavor during Trump's tenure to investigate Federal spending, and cut bloated or mismanaged funds by the American Nation State.
Supposedly, this was because of Elon's cost-cutting measures which he had done, when he decimated Twatter's bloated workforce by something like 50% in the 1st week, and eventually by 80% overall by the end of the year he bought it. His appointment has been met with positivity by Magatards and the crowds, with the belief that he would endeavour to reduce the annual budget - and he had even made a campaign promise to slash the Colossal yank annual spending of 6 Trillion$, by 2 Trillion$ - video of which has been making rounds
When doubts had been raised by other rightoids of the feasibility of this grand feat, or the reliability of Elon, Magatards had just shouted them down 
I'm here to explain why I believe Elon is a horrifying appointment
AMERICAN RIGHTWINGERS MISS THE DANGER OF MUSK:
The Afrikaans article was from a local Economist short paper and they like my own, have their biases to Rightwing type views. While the majority of criticism against Elon has been my lefties, communists and welfare leeches, which poisons the conversation about this significant event. Commies despise Elon for his Libertarian standing, and the fact that Billionares even exist as a concept - so the loudest people whom had opposed this announcement on Twatter had been fricking commies afraid Elon would slash their Neetbux 
instead of any policy or ethics criticism - which further poisoned the well of this discussion.
Now pissing off leftoids 
is always a GOOOOOD THING!
But many other rightwingers, like Patrick Boyle - who's a Libertarian Mick
have been criticizing Elon hard for his business acumen, his professional and public behaviour and his staggering corruption. And we'll get to that corruption.
The article I read went to such an extreme, as to calling Elon Musk's appointment, the equivalent of a Gupta appointment.
https://rdrama.net/post/162984/marseyflagsouthafrica-south-african-theme-park-racism
Basically the context is that during the infamously corrupt Safrican 
president Jacob Zuma's 10 years in office, he had esentiallly sold the very grounds beneath the feet of south africans, to the criminal Indian Gupta family, by giving them nationscale nepotistic appointments to their companies via tenders - and allowing the Guptas to pilfer the national resources of the country - in what was termed State Capture.
Elon Musk has similar degrees of monstrous conflicts of interest.
FEASIBILITY OF MUSK'S CAMPAIGN PROMISES:
Now there are a great of inefficiency which Musk can tackle
https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/federal-spending/
Chances are even that it's even feasible that Musk and Trump could cut the annual 7.5 Trillion Budget by as much as 1 Trillion per year, by cutting off all of the Governmental bloat - like the top heavy Educational boards of urban schools filled with parasites, or in the very least make the Pentagon to a national audit see all the various black holes in which yank Federal funding are disappearing into (an audit alone would make Musk's new department worth it alone)
The issue is not the feasibility or the degree of feasibility of Musk curbing Government spending, but that there are phenomenal, PHENOMINAL conflicts of interest!
ARTICLES EXPLORING DEVIOUS CONFLICTS OF INTEREST:
A New York article written 3 weeks ago goes into how much US Tax dollars have been paying to various tenders obtained by companies owned by Musk's corporate conglomerates.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/20/us/politics/elon-musk-federal-agencies-contracts.html
The obvious answer would be SpaceX, Musk's space ship building organization, which has worked with, and in may ways supplanted NASA as the premier Space Rocket launching hub in the Western World - due to the fact that SpaceX has been able to organize itself in such a way as to superiorly run entity, and drive space related projects cheaper and with greater skill than the floundering modern NASA.
This world-famous and generally positively viewed symbiotic relationship, by both sides of the aisle in burgerland, between NASA and SpaceX, has been very VERY lucrative for Musk. However NASA is just one fraction of the government tenders SpaceX receives, since the Burgerland Department of Defense has come to rely on SpaceX the company, to launch all of its new military-related satellites!! 
The non-space related shit in honestly not that many, but his influence on other shit, like the department of transportation is wild.
But much much more concerning that all of these tenders for !Burgers, is that over the past 10 years, Mush has been fricking embroiled in no less than TWENTY 
investigations from USA government oversight and Safety-Inspection organizations!!!!! 
And these aren't just junk 
no-nothing investigations, they have large impact on the wider industries they influence in which Musk's various conglomerate companies are a part of.
Example:
=====(from NYT article)
His entanglements with federal regulators are also numerous and adversarial. His companies have been targeted in at least 20 recent investigations or reviews, including over the safety of his Tesla cars and the environmental damage caused by his rockets.
But he has thrown his fortune and power behind former President Donald J. Trump and, in return, Mr. Trump has vowed to make Mr. Musk head of a new "government efficiency commission" with the power to recommend wide-ranging cuts at federal agencies and changes to federal rules.
That would essentially give the world's richest man and a major government contractor the power to regulate the regulators who hold sway over his companies, amounting to a potentially enormous conflict of interest.
........multipronged business arrangements with the federal government, as well as the violations, fines, consent decrees and other inquiries federal agencies have ordered against his companies. Together, they show a deep web of relationships: Instead of entering this new role as a neutral observer, Mr. Musk would be passing judgment on his own customers and regulators.
Already, Mr. Musk has discussed how he would use the new position to help his own companies. 
He has questioned a rule that required SpaceX to obtain a permit for discharging large amounts of potentially polluted water 
from its launchpad in Texas. He also said that limiting this kind of oversight could help SpaceX reach Mars sooner โ "so long as it is not smothered by bureaucracy," he wrote on X, his social-media platform. "The Department of Government Efficiency is the only path to extending life beyond Earth."
======
........But the Federal Aviation Administration held up this most recent test launch for weeks, in part because of questions about harm SpaceX has caused to wildlife near its Texas launch site, a delay that infuriated Mr. Musk.
Last month, the F.A.A. started the process to fine SpaceX $633,009 for disregarding license requirements related to two of its Florida launches last year that may have compromised safety, the agency said.
This was a shift for the F.A.A., which in past instances had not imposed fines when SpaceX ignored the agency's direct orders. Marc Nichols, the F.A.A.'s chief counsel, said in a statement last month that "failure of a company to comply with the safety requirements will result in consequences."
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened five investigations of Tesla, including for complaints of unexpected braking, loss of steering control and crashes while cars were in "self-driving" mode. 
Tesla has tried to block at least two rulings from the National Labor Relations Board, including one punishing Mr. Musk for tweeting that factory workers would lose stock options if they joined a union.
=======
Mr. Musk in recent years has particularly attacked the Securities and Exchange Commission, which in 2018 charged him with securities fraud for a series of false and misleading tweets related to taking Tesla private. Mr. Musk had posted on Twitter that he had planned to take the company private at $420 a share, and that he had "funding secured" for a transaction. As part of a later settlement with the S.E.C., he stepped down as Tesla's chairman and Tesla paid a $20 million fine.
In a 2022 TED Talk, Mr. Musk lambasted regulators, calling them "bastards." 
=====(end NYT Quote)
As you guys can see our turbo neurodivergent has been every bit the morally bankrupt billionare as you would expect.
https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2024-11-14/elon-musk-conflicts-of-interest
=====(from LA times article)
Tesla:
Trump's policies could reduce the sales of electric vehicles, but with Musk's influence, his administration's policies could boost Tesla โ though not with federal funding.
For example, Trump, who tempered criticism of electric vehicles after Musk backed him, might end a $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicles. That would hurt Tesla's unprofitable rivals that rely more on the tax credits to lure customers.
This year, Tesla received at least $2.8 million from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation through a federally funded program to deploy EV charging stations.
From 2022 to 2024, Tesla and its subsidiaries were awarded at least $631,800 in federal contracts mainly to provide vehicles for the U.S. embassies in Singapore, Iceland and Thailand, the data showed.
The Boring Co.:
Fed up with Los Angeles traffic, Elon Musk launched The Boring Co. with two tweets in 2016, promising "to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging."
However, at Trump's urging, congressional representatives could earmark local transportation projects to the benefit of Boring Co.
=====(end LA Times quote)
SUPER 
PACS:
Point is his new political influence would give him the capacity to disrupt investigations into his companies, by Health-and-Safety departments and regulators, or worse and most likely enable him to inject bias into the national procurement procedures, to net tenders for only his conglomerate of companies.
Now in the past, staggering corruption has existed. Yanks have appointed business tycoons into ministerial levels of power, or bought the Departments of regulators through influential lobbying by corrupt industry political interests, often through obscuring disguise called SUPERPACS
https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/super-pacs/2024
Like fossil-fuel industries, like coal-mining or offshore-oil-drilling conglomerates to bribe politicians in congress, senate or Presidential admin, to cut regulations in their favor. (Must has also done this for Trump BTW 
)
https://apnews.com/article/elon-musk-america-pac-trump-d248547966bf9c6daf6f5d332bc4be66
But often these corrupt businessmen would be separated by a degree of control, by the corrupt politicians they aimed to control or influence - Musk would have not even ONE degree of such separation, and likely no fricking oversight. 
MUSK'S VARIOUS BUSNINESS INTEREST'S SOAR IN VALUE ON STOCK MARKET:
The corruption is SO flagrant that investors on the stock market have gone crazy in investing on in his various businesses, out of the sheer EXPECTATION that Musk will now use his considerable influence and political position to favor his corporate conglomerates!!
MUSK IS A GEOPOLITICAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST:
Other geopolitical commentators had also mentioned that Musk is by sheer virtue of his Chinese and Russian connections, an astronomical military risk.
https://apnews.com/article/spacex-ukraine-starlink-russia-air-force-fde93d9a69d7dbd1326022ecfdbc53c2
Our boi had on various occasions cut off internet access for Ukraine forces, as they had utilized Starlink in the underdeveloped internet-infrastructure of Hohol-land, which had further degraded during the war, through constant missile barrages on Ukrainian civilian areas. Starlink internet was invaluable to guide GPS areal and naval missiles, as well as connect commercial drones to drop grenades unto enemy trenches 
====(from AP article)
SpaceX founder Elon Musk's refusal to allow Ukraine to use Starlink internet services to launch a surprise attack on Russian forces in Crimea last September has raised questions as to whether the U.S. military needs to be more explicit in future contracts that services or products it purchases could be used in war, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said Monday.
Excerpts of a new biography of Musk published by The Washington Post last week revealed that the Ukrainians in September 2022 had asked for the Starlink support to attack Russian naval vessels based at the Crimean port of Sevastopol. Musk had refused due to concerns that Russia would launch a nuclear attack in response.
However, in the months since, the U.S. military has funded and officially contracted with Starlink for continued support. The Pentagon has not disclosed the terms or cost of that contract, citing operational security.
But the Pentagon is reliant on SpaceX for far more than the Ukraine response, and the uncertainty that Musk or any other commercial vendor could refuse to provide services in a future conflict has led space systems military planners to reconsider what needs to be explicitly laid out in future agreements
=====(end AP quote)
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/08/world/europe/elon-musk-starlink-ukraine.html
Even if Musk's pro-Putler tendencies weren't such a dangerous hot-point in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the sheer fact that a USA-based private-enterprise would balk in the support of USA allies, out of fear of commercial retaliation of USA enemies, laid a lot of concern for Burgerland military leaders.
Then there is China, which in my opinion, and many geopolitical analysts, is a substantially LARGER threat, in terms of making Musk a cabinet weakness!!
Musk has substantial parts of his collective wealth tied to Chinese Factories:
====(FROM scmp)
Elon Musk's involvement in the incoming Donald Trump administration is drawing scrutiny over possible conflicts of interests, with a senator warning that the Tesla and SpaceX CEO's business ties with China could jeopardise US national security. 
Tesla manufactures half of its vehicles in China, which also accounts for one-third of its sales, while the US Defence Department and other government agencies are increasingly reliant on SpaceX.
Musk's close business ties with China and some of its most senior officials, including Premier Li Qiang, have prompted reports that he could be considered by Beijing as a backchannel to Trump, especially in the early days of the transition period.
"It's a very, very difficult position for Mr Musk to be in," said Fish, adding that Beijing "loves to use corporate leverage" over US companies and individuals to advance its national security interests.
"Frankly, I don't know how Mr Musk can balance the interests he has with the US government, with Tesla and with SpaceX at the same time. It's very, very challenging," he said.
====(end scmp article)
Meaning China could literally threaten Musk with actual bankruptcy (for Tesla), if they try to put the squeeze on him to get him to do something for them, or to threaten Musk directly, if they want to hurt USA directly - like saying if USA provides some stuff for Taiwan, like Starlink antennas - they would just go straight to turbo cuck Musk!
Anyways that's all i have to talk about. Chances are that cutting the bloated yank Budget is entirely feasible - but I personally believe Musk is at all the appropriate candidate for such an astronomically difficult undertaking, despite the vast popularity he enjoys from Libertarians, rightoids and Magatards
Must is such an extremely bad fit for his position, that I think many americans have genuinely missed his obvious and extreme conflicts of interest, and how the cultural-wars and identity politics of Kamala 
and shitlibs have obfuscated such possible future 
Gupta tiers of corruption!!!
Like i hate commies as well, and i enjoy Musk dunking 
on filthy shitlibs, but that sure as shit doesn't garantee he'll be a force for good for Burgerland

First Reading
In the year King Uzziah died,
I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne,
with the train of his garment filling the temple.
Seraphim were stationed above.
They cried one to the other,
"Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts!
All the earth is filled with his glory!"
At the sound of that cry, the frame of the door shook
and the house was filled with smoke.
Then I said, "Woe is me, I am doomed!
For I am a man of unclean lips,
living among a people of unclean lips;
yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!"
Then one of the seraphim flew to me,
holding an ember that he had taken with tongs from the altar.
He touched my mouth with it, and said,
"See, now that this has touched your lips,
your wickedness is removed, your sin purged."
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
"Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?"
"Here I am," I said; "send me!"
-Isaiah 6:1-2a, 3-8

Second Reading
I am reminding you, brothers and sisters,
of the gospel I preached to you,
which you indeed received and in which you also stand.
Through it you are also being saved,
if you hold fast to the word I preached to you,
unless you believed in vain.
For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received:
that Christ died for our sins
in accordance with the Scriptures;
that he was buried;
that he was raised on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures;
that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.
After that, Christ appeared to more
than five hundred brothers at once,
most of whom are still living,
though some have fallen asleep.
After that he appeared to James,
then to all the apostles.
Last of all, as to one born abnormally,
he appeared to me.
For I am the least of the apostles,
not fit to be called an apostle,
because I persecuted the church of God.
But by the grace of God I am what I am,
and his grace to me has not been ineffective.
Indeed, I have toiled harder than all of them;
not I, however, but the grace of God that is with me.
Therefore, whether it be I or they,
so we preach and so you believed.

While the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening
to the word of God,
he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret.
He saw two boats there alongside the lake;
the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets.
Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon,
he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore.
Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon,
"Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch."
Simon said in reply,
"Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing,
but at your command I will lower the nets."
When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish
and their nets were tearing.
They signaled to their partners in the other boat
to come to help them.
They came and filled both boats
so that the boats were in danger of sinking.
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said,
"Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man."
For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him
and all those with him,
and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee,
who were partners of Simon.
Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid;
from now on you will be catching men."
When they brought their boats to the shore,
they left everything and followed him.
-Luke 5:1-11

"Woe is me, I am doomed! For I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!"
"Last of all, as to one born abnormally, he appeared to me. For I am the least of the apostles, not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God."
"When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, "Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.""
Isaiah, Peter, and Paul, three extremely holy men, all said they were unholy and unworthy. This is very humble of them, admitting that any grace they have is a gift from God, but it's also a teaching example. You don't have to be perfect to share the Gospel; the Good News are still good when coming from a bad person. A common question I see here is "how can you be preaching about Catholicism on rdrama of all places? Good Christians shouldn't have anything to do with this site." While it may be true that good Christians shouldn't be here, it's certainly better to be here and share your Christianity than to be here and not do so.

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.
Further Reading
I've reported extensively on these topics but if you want some more background:
55th Security Brigade's response to Yun's orders to arrest his political opponents
From 2 years ago during the election why people think that him and his wife are total fricking weirdos.
Why the rightoids are so afraid of communism - because it's real
My last post about this lamenting that the left is apparently just as bad
Seriously tho, just search for "author:redactor0 korea". A variety of material and all of it is gold.

Why're they pretending war in Yemen is something new lmao. Also splendid choice of protag for the script, they could've interviewed someone neutral but no they interviewed someone who got arrested by Ethio army in counter terror ops lmao
Based r*pe the islamists 
In 10 years BTW. Sounds like a very oppressed person to me
I moved to Yemen and there's a war?
How could this be happening to me??!!
There's no way a boat that left hours before yours and sunk midway will have the corpses wash up at your specific landing point before you get there lmao.

TLDR
Ben Shapiro got jealous and dropped Brett from her channel "The Comments Section with Brett Cooper" as she became more and more successful
Her !besties and her Producer backstabbed her and took over the channel!!
Now the channel is in shambles and Subscriber count dropping daily from 4.5Mil highest to 4Mil now
Even with 4 MILLION Subscribers the new BACKSTABBER'S videos don't even cross 100K! They at best cross 50K if lucky 
Her Stantup was also SOLD OUT and was a SUPER DUPER HIT

The body type standards Gen Z boys have in their heads are totally nonsense
Gen Z invented attraction to big bazongas?
It's more like sexual harassment, but it's still gross to make porn of a real person without their consent. This was an issue even back in the photoshop era.
sharing sexual ai clips of a real person is fricking weird even for a circlejerk sub
