South Korea's fascist president has been impeached

?si=QUZiCNYCx2FN-i9X

"South Korea’s top court voted unanimously to dismiss the country’s impeached president, Yoon Suk Yeol, on Friday. The decision clears the way for the election of a new leader after months of political turmoil that has tested its democratic guardrails.

In a ruling that millions of South Koreans watched on live television, the Constitutional Court’s eight justices endorsed the National Assembly’s decision to impeach Mr. Yoon for his failed attempt to place his country under martial law in December. With that ruling, Mr. Yoon, who had been suspended from office since the parliamentary vote on Dec. 14, was formally unseated".
