Great news!

It's so ridiculous I really can't even! ACKKKK!!!

President Yoon impeached. 204 - 85. Crazy to think this is the second time this has happened since I've lived here.

President Yoon just addressed the nation for 2 minutes, apologizing for the "inconvenience" of declaring martial law and stating that there will be no 2nd declaration.
