24-11-28 Georgia Protests Resume

On 28 October, tens of thousands of protesters rallied in Tbilisi to protest the results of the recent parliamentary elections, which President Salome Zourabichvili criticized as rife with irregularities. Addressing the crowd, Zourabichvili claimed the ruling Georgian Dream party employed tactics akin to those used in Russia, arguing that the election results did not accurately reflect voters' intentions. Officially, Georgian Dream was reported to have won over 54 percent of the vote, securing the parliamentary majority. President Zourabichvili, in her address, reassured demonstrators, stating, "You did not lose the election. They stole your vote and tried to steal your future". 

On 28 November, the new convocation of the Parliament of Georgia confirmed the government of Irakli Kobakhidze, who made several changes to its composition. Parliament also set a date for the 2024 Georgian presidential election on 14 December. After the 2017 constitutional reform, the president is no longer elected by popular vote but instead through a 300-member Electoral College, including all 150 MPs, all representatives from the supreme councils of the Abkhazian and Adjaran autonomous republics, and local bodies. Georgian Dream, holding a majority in the Electoral College, nominated Mikheil Kavelashvili, a member of its ally People's Power, to the presidency. Zourabichvili, the last president to be elected by popular vote, has rejected the legitimacy of the current parliament and has said that she will not step down as president "until the legitimate parliament is elected that will legitimately elect [a replacement]". Kobakhidze responded by saying "of course on 29 December she'll have to leave".

The protests have been marked by widespread violence against protesters and journalists by the police.

2024 German government crisis: On 6 November 2024, Olaf Scholz, the incumbent chancellor of Germany, announced the dismissal of Christian Lindner, the then-finance minister and leader of the Free Democratic Party (FDP), from his cabinet. This occurred following recent disputes in the three-party coalition government over the country's economic policies and ongoing tensions within the coalition. Lindner's dismissal caused the collapse of the coalition, as the FDP moved into the opposition, leaving a two-party minority government of SPD and The Greens.

An early 2025 federal election is likely, with the parties having agreed on a tentative date of 23 February 2025. A formal vote of confidence in the ruling government is to predate the election.

"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average Trump voter." (updated from something that Winston Churchill probably never said)

It's official - MAGA Americans lack νοῦς. Not only are they not bright enough to realize that DUHnocchio does not care about them or keep promises, but they will be too "challenged" to realize that they are ultimately responsible for the economic slump, job losses, educational deterioration, health crises, and other woes that they have almost certainly brought upon themselves. Unfortunately, the harm will not be confined to those improvident enough to vote for Felonious Trump.

A fitting comment on the harm that RepuGNicans have ignorantly wrought:
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. 
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

4B or "Four Nos" is a radical feminist movement that emerged in South Korea during the mid-to-late 2010s on Twitter and on the website Womad. The name refers to its defining four tenets which all start with the Korean-language term bi , roughly meaning "no". Its proponents do not date, get married, have sex, or have children with men.

The four core tenets to the 4B movement are:
no sex with men (비섹스; bisekseu),
no giving birth (비출산; bichulsan),
no dating men (비연애; biyeonae), and
no marriage with men (비혼; bihon).

In the United States, interest in 4B increased after the re-election of Misognynist-in-Cheat in the 2024 presidential race. Social media videos primarily reflected the idea that men had voted against women's rights by voting for DUH, and that women should not engage with men, heterosexual sex, or pregnancy if they will not be respected as equals or have full legal access to birth control and abortion.

"How To Steal An Election" comment

Comment with Numbers: As of September 2024, the distribution of registered voters in the United States by party affiliation is as follows: 

Democrats: Approximately 45.1 million registered voters (21% of total registered voters). 
Republicans: Approximately 36 million registered voters (17% of total registered voters). 
Independents/Unaffiliated: Approximately 32.1 million registered voters (15% of total registered voters). 
Minor Parties: Approximately 5.4 million registered voters (2.9% of total registered voters). 

These figures are based on data from states that require voters to declare a party affiliation upon registration. It's important to note that 19 states do not collect or report party affiliation data, which can affect the overall percentages.
