Yoon is gone, and good riddance, but the right wing hordes behind him expanded and further radicalized. A strong majority of Koreans supported his ouster, but the minority behind him is by no means small nor is it going away. This is a good article explaining who's in that crowd and what they're up to.

Months after a failed martial law attempt rattled South Korea, a top court has unanimously decided to remove the president from office. Many are celebrating this as a moment of trial and triumph for the country’s young democratic institutions. #Korea #impeachment

NBC News · South Korean court upholds President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment over martial law orderBy Janis Mackey Frayer

So, I guess, if the #trumpregime can detain immigrants without any notice and process and deport them, #wethepeople, via the congress, can also jail a president that poses a clear #securityrisk to the #us without any notice and process and without formal #impeachment procedure.

The consequences for Yoon are varied. He's now open to be tried for a whole range of crimes, including treason. He's got to leave the official residences, has no staff and, most deliciously coldblooded of all, can't be buried in any official cemetery.

They don't even want his corpse hanging around.

Ok, this is really good, Yoon is out. All justices agreed, no hint of dissent. Now to the spaces outside the court, assembly, etc. — hopefully Yoon's fashy little minions will go home peacefully and have themselves a nice long cry in private.

New election to be held by June 3.

The #pentagon have launched an investigation into #petehegseth over the #SignalGate situation.

I am hopeful we will actually see something done, and done harshly to someone very close to #trump as it will finally prove they aren't above the law.

Maybe we can prosecute them one by one, until nobody is left to hide behind for Trump, and he'll be arrested or #impeachment will finally happen.

Even Republicans are turning on him now in #congress.
