      At least he is to stand trial, in other countries they are just elected again and given a second attempt at the coup.

        If I had a nickel for every time that has happened over the last century… Well I’d have ten cents but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

    From the article

    South Korea’s impeached conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol was released from prison on Saturday, a day after a Seoul court canceled his arrest to allow him to stand trial for rebellion without being detained.

    And also

    The Seoul court also said the legal period of his formal arrest expired before he was indicted.

    Seems like a whole Lotta nothing, unless he isn’t formally dismissed soon
